Abstract

The events I am about to describe took place seven years ago when I was 61 years of age. I was, at that time, a practicing internist in a community that is the site of a major medical center. I was on the clinical faculty of the medical school and the staff of its major teaching hospital. My wife, a radiologist, was a member of the radiologic department in the same hospital where we both had received most of our training.

Dr. Hugh Dwyer is a retired internist who practiced in New Haven and served as a member of the clinical faculty at Yale Medical School. He was a member of the staff of Yale-New Haven Hospital and a trustee of that hospital at the time of his retirement.
