A. Bernard Ackerman-1936-2008.

摘要

Eleven years ago, at a morning in December, when A. Bernard Ackerman walked across snow-covered streets from his home at Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia to the Institute for Dermatopathology at Jefferson Medical College, he suddenly felt a sharp pain hi his chest. He was alarmed, slowed down, made it to his institute, and called a cardiologist immediately upon his arrival. Two hours later, an electrocardiogram was performed, and he underwent bypass surgery the next day. After 2 weeks, he was back at his microscope, his energy undiminished. No damage had been done.
