Eulogy for Long Island College Hospital
I am sitting here with tears running down my face because LICH, a member of my family, has just bled to death. Remember when Princess Di married Prince Charles and foolishly believed that that was going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship only to find out it was... Continue reading

Thanks Josephine. Did you really post this at 4:09 am? If so I am glad I could be with you in your quiet awake hours.
Death of a Centenarian
My grandmother’s last sister (there were five Miller sisters in all including my grandmother) just died with the advent of the Jewish New Year. She was 100 years old. She was my mom’s pal and they were close for eighty-eight years. She was twelve years older than my mother and used to babys...

Identity Crisis
What if Kermit, after years of singing,”It’s Not Easy Being Green” found out that he was really beige? My guess is it would send him into a bit of a tailspin and not just for a moment, either. Green is not just a color he associates with himself, but also... Continue reading

POSTCARD FROM THE FIFTIES
I grew up in the time of TV knobs, typewriters and one telephone service for all. We rode bikes, little red scooters and roller-skates. Cars had fins. I wondered why my family didn’t act like The Cleavers and why my dad was always so angry. I asked my mom why... Continue reading

Long Time Coming
When Al and Skipper Gore decided to separate, many newspapers ran columns discussing the rupture of long-term relationships and probing the reasons why they occur. As a gynecologist, I am privy to many stories. If there are eight million stories in this naked city, I must have heard at least... Continue reading

Learning how to navigate rough waters is part of the growing process and a parent's job is not to make sure the water is never rough, but to help give the child the skills to work through it and to gain long-term perspective.
Hanging In There
We used to have two cats and a dog living with us. One cat, Sasha, was female, about eight years old and had been declawed before we adopted her. The other cat, Fluffy, (no, we didn’t name her) we had inherited from a relative. Like Sasha, Fluffy was female, declawed and around eight years o...

Valentine's Day Fluff-Up
I have been pondering the resignation of Dr. Lazar Greenfield, the president-elect of The American College of Surgeons. His offense? As editor-in-chief of Surgery News he wrote a Valentine’s Day editorial that quoted several recent studies touting the mood-elevating abilities of human semen and...
I'm almost ready to unburden myself and become a flower child.
Back to the Sixties
Excuse the lag in blogs. My husband, Charley Gerard, and I have been working on some new songs together. Material from the Gerard/Weinstock songbook will be performed by vocalist Christine Adams, saxophonist Charley Gerard, violist Eva Gerard, plus guitar, bass and drums in Manhattan on Fr...

I don't know how endorphins in semen compare to those released from patting a dog. We need to do some studies to find out.

That Alternate Universe–Old Age
Thursday was a sobering day at my office. A lot of my Medicare patients love to make appointments during my Thursday morning hours. If you ever bought into the Golden Years idea, our Thursday mornings would cure you of any delusions. Many doctors have little patience for seniors. Older folks ta...
