Reporting from Oakland ”” Morris F. Collen, M.D., is a pioneer in harnessing the vast power of computers to improve healthcare. He is hip-deep in studying the ways that prescription drugs could interact and harm the elderly. He’s hard at work on his sixth book.
But he just might be most proud of his brand new driver’s license.
“Can I show you something you’ll never see again?” Collen asks, reaching for his well-used billfold. He pulls out the rectangle of pedestrian plastic. He points to the date of birth: 11-12-13. He points to the expiration date: 11-12-13. He grins.
“The one is in the 20th century,” he says, tickled still. “The other is in the 21st century. That represents 100 years. When I looked at that, I said, ‘My God, that’s probably the only one in the country.’ ”
What a great man and what a lovely description of his wife to whom he was married for 60 years. I would love to meet him. Read it all.
Another heroic physician is Miriam Grossman, M.D, a psychiatrist. She risked her job for the truth and for the good of her patients…she worked on a major college campus and saw the destruction that sexual promiscuity and the sexual/political agenda had wreaked on young women and finally, she could not be quiet…she wrote a book, Unprotected.
Here’s a link to Dr. Warren Throckmorton’s review of Unprotected:
