Memory of Mickey
Mickey was my “go to guy”. When I was a newly commissioned general medical officer in the Air Force he was always there to back me up or correct my errors while in England. Since then I have seen him most summers on our numerous TGE vacations. He was always available to answer personal medical questions over the years including encouraging me to have an MRI when I had a headache which turned out to be a subdural hematoma which needed treatment. He also gave me appropriate advise regarding a defibrillator after my heart attack. All this came after he was a “shrink” not an internist. But I always valued his opinion and will miss that.
Jim, Mickey had a memory like no other. I was always amazed how current he kept his knowledge of internal medicine. After 43 years practicing psychiatry, he retained the ability to assess and diagnose medical situations.
