Memory of Mickey
I first knew him as a teacher, the most unique and inspiring teacher I had in med school. He later became my analyst and as I’m sure hundreds have already said he saved my life and changed my life in ways I can’t begin to describe. Actually I could describe them, but it would be way too personal. He saved my relationship with my then boyfriend, now husband and encouraged me to do practical things like get a fifteen year mortgage rather than a thirty year one. Most of all he was a role model for what a psychiatrist should be. He is indelibly a part of the fabric of who I am.
