Memory of Mickey
I started reading 1boringoldman.com around 2012, as I was finishing my child psychiatry training. I was struck by Mickey’s wonderful ability to delve into the nuances of research with a critical eye that I did not often see elsewhere. He inspired me with his tenacity in going after the truth, his dedication to his profession even after he “retired,” and most of all, his decency as a human being and doctor.
Over the past 5 years, I looked up to Mickey as a role model and fount of wisdom. I corresponded with him via email and the comments section of his blog, and he was always kind and encouraging. Though I never got to meet him in person, I’m deeply saddened by his passing, and I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the Nardo family.
