Garry Gordon, MD, DO, MD(H): today's toxic world and the multifactoral FIGHT required to restore our health. Interviewed by Karen Burnett.

摘要

Dr Gordon: Yes. My father was what we call a "ten-fingered" osteopath in Madison, Wisconsin. He got people who came from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester [after unsuccessful treatment] well because he worked magic with his hands. My two uncles were both osteopaths. One of them later became an MD as I did, and my brother became an osteopathic physician. Everybody in my family seemed to be doctors. When I was 6 or 7 years of age, there was no question in my mind that I was going to be a doctor. That was what I was destined to be. By the time I got into medical school, I was still pretty young. In 1954,I entered osteopathic college for the 4-year training. I was only 19 years of age, and I had what we would call narcolepsy today. I had recurrent torticollis; I would walk around with my head on my shoulder. I also had such a weak heart that if the class I was to attend was up a flight of steps, it was all I could do to go up the flight of steps.
