Memory of Mickey
Mickey and I served as Internal Medicine partners in the Air Force at Lakenheath AFB in the UK in the 70’s. There was a little rebellion on our part: wide blue ties, unauthorized haircuts, borrowing gates to use for pig roasting, etc. But I think that is where we learned to practice medicine. Together we got our footing in sharing patient stories and searching for solutions. He went on to become a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst; I trained in gastroenterology. Those years, however, were among the best I remember as a physician. Our friendship has never wavered through the years.
