Personal Remembrance
“My father ate, drank and slept medicine. It was the inevitable topic of every meal, which doubled as a type of grand rounds or medical conference. Staff recruitment and high-level chairman meetings transpired at our family dinners and social events, which we could never miss. From the '60s to my father's death in 2006, we were firsthand witnesses to what is now called the rise and fall of the "Golden Age of Medicine."
