After 50 years in clinical pediatrics, I have retired and now pursue a variety of interests centered around communication within the Art of Medicine. My experience in hematology/oncology, clinical research, years in general practice, teaching, writing, medical hypnosis, and placebo/nocebo communication, have culminated in academic papers and most recently, publications about Suggestion Language in Medical Practice and as of later this month, How to be a Good Doctor in Under an Hour.I still happily mentor students and physicians in the power and nuances of communication, and teach and lecture where invited.
