Marty Samuels was one of the best physicians I have ever met. Marty was head Neurology at The Brigham and Professor at Harvard. His classic tale of diagnosing dizziness has stuck with me for decades. His tale of the use of a CAT scan in I recall in 1972, the second one in the US and I was very aware of having been at MIT doing similar imaging work.
As The Brigham noted, Marty passed away two weeks ago. Marty brought humor to medical diagnosis and treatment par excellence. I was expecting to see him again at the annual HMS neurology course, fortunately his lecture was recorded and I look forward to his usual brilliant presentation.
