I practiced academic pediatric surgery for 40 years (I finished my fellowship in 1979). 
I stepped down as Surgeon-in-Chief at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan in 2009. 
Prior to medical school, I studied medieval history.  From time to time in this spot I will let you know more, but most will emerge from the blog posts.  

My current activities include:
Interim Chief, Pediatric ENT, Children’s Hospital of Michigan
Chair, Section Forum Management Committee, American Academy of Pediatrics
Coordinator, Legacy Interview Program, American Pediatric Surgical Association
Médecins Sans Frontières pediatric surgeon
KenyaRelief.org volunteer pediatric surgeon
