“My father ate, drank and slept medicine. It was the inevitable topic of every meal. Almost every social event doubled as “grand rounds” or a “medical conference.” Staff recruitment was done at our family dinners, which we could never miss. We even worked as administrative assistants and lab techs. My mother's work went far beyond that. We bring all this to share in these pages.
