“A French gynecologist has been suspended from practicing medicine for one month and penalized with an additional five months of probation by the French Medical Council for declining to treat a 26-year-old man who identifies as a woman.”

Jeremiah 51:8 “But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed. Cry out in mourning over it! Get medicine for her wounds! Perhaps she can be healed!”

This reminds me of Babylon the Great in the Book of Revelation. Babylon the Great is synonymous with sexual immorality. Therefore, a hallmark of the antichrist’s kingdom will be sexual immorality. Sexual immorality is a key feature of a declining empire.

The foundation of the antichrist’s kingdom will be weak. Making a foundation from rebar and cement is one thing, but making it from rebar and clay is another. “You also saw that the feet and the toes were partly clay and partly iron.” The feet are known as the foundation of the body. If the foundation of a building is half brittle, the house will only last so long. It will be the same with the antichrist’s empire. It will have a short shelf life.

The wise man built his house upon the Rock—Christ, “the stone that the builders rejected.” The foolish man built his house upon the sand. Sand and clay are not solid rock.

Daniel 2:34 “While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.”

Me: "A Cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers, stood behind the casket.

Following the eulogy, the heart opened and the casket rolled inside. The beautiful heart then closed, sealing the doctor inside, forever.

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about my own funeral...I'm a Gynecologist."

The Proctologist fainted.

Me: "Just How Visible Is Your Butthole To A Gynecologist?"

Copied and pasted from the Musée d'Orsay webpage;

Breton Legend is one of Edgard Maxence's most ambitious Symbolist compositions, painted during his period of artistic maturity. Sheltering under a dolmen, in the light of a full russet moon, a young girl dressed in a Pont-Aven costume appears to be terrified by the appearance of a fairy or sorceress wearing an ermine cloak and a dress embroidered with traditional motifs. This figure appears to be a harbinger of doom, born out by the appearance of red korrigans, the tiny, malevolent elves of Breton legends.

Maxence, who was born in Nantes, always had a strong affection for his native region, but this focus on Breton folklore is quite rare in his work, which is usually marked by a more subtle, mystical symbolism, influenced by the English Pre-Raphaelites.

The probable reason for the marked regional characteristics here is that the painting had been commissioned. Breton Legend was in fact intended to decorate the private mansion in Paris of Louis-Gustave Richelot (1844-1924), a famous surgeon and gynecologist of the time, who was also from Nantes.

Doctor Richelot, a pupil of César Franck and passionate about music, used to organize soirées and concerts at his home, where he played the piano and performed his own compositions. Amongst his many compositions was a Breton Legend, composed in 1905, a piece for voice and orchestra. Maxence's painting could be a pictorial interpretation of this piece.

The painting is thus in harmony with the movement that flourished during the Belle Époque, affirming the Breton cultural identity. With touches of humor, the painter depicts this confrontation between Christian Brittany on the one hand, renowned for its austere, uncompromising fervor and represented by the young peasant girl, and magic, pagan Brittany on the other, embodied in the korrigans and the fairy appearing in the megalithic alignments.

François Merde's decidedly downcast film follows the exploits of charlatan Ernest Brelle (played by renowned clown, Emmett Kelly). A homeless vagrant, Brelle discovers that since he already dresses the part, he can rely on the host of hand gestures and gyrations he mastered as a young dandy in Nice to fake the role of itinerant concierge OBGYN physician. Favorite (English sub-titled) line from the film: "You want me to sterilize these gifted hands? That will be 19 francs more".... Magnifique!

How exciting those 1870s! Here's pretty tiny Veronica arvensis, Field Speedwell, whose flowers are only a few millimetres across. Among many cures for which it can be employed according to Abraham Munting (1626-1683), untiring botanist of the University of Groingen, is the infertility of women. Whether that cure works I don't know. But as I was botanising in the garden of great Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866) - see my two earlier photos - I saw this Blue (only naturalised in Japan since the 1870s) and was immediately reminded of two formidable women.

The first is Aletta Jacobs (1854-1929), left inset in this photo, the second is Ine Kusamoto (1827-1903), the right inset.

Ine Kusamoto was the daughter of Von Siebold by his Japanese wife Taki. She was taught western medicine by her father's students after he had had to leave Japan on charges of spying. She rose to be the first female obstetrician and gynecologist according to western principles in Japan. In 1871 she opened a clinic in Tsukigi, Tokyo, and she assisted at the birth of the son of the Mejii Emperor.

Aletta Jacobs is her 'sister in medicine'. Born near Groningen in The Netherlands she was to become the first female physician in The Netherlands - doctorate in 1879 - and also a formidable fighter for women's rights.

Whether either woman ever used Veronica arvensis for their female patients is unknown. But that through their perseverance often against daunting forces they opened up the field of medicine to women in Japan and The Netherlands is a thing to remember!

December 1. 2016, Fredericia Municipality took over the keys to buildings that were once Fredericia Hospital. It was the starting shot at Fredericia Health Center (Sundhedshuset).

Fredericia Health Center is now a good example of how to create health centers or local hospitals in Denmark.

Fredericia health center has many different functions together on their 27,000 m2. There are several GPs, gynecologists, physiotherapists, vocational training, dentists, hearing clinic, pharmacy just to name a few. There are still more floors that have not been taken into use.

I suppose most everybody has a memory like this, the kind of memory that, if you tell it to another person, they will never understand. They won’t get it, and inevitably, you will feel like you have given a part of yourself to someone, and they haven’t given anything back. But deep down you know you can never describe it in a way that another person can understand it, so you know it’s not their fault. Some of them will even try to reach across to you, ask questions, probe, try as hard as they can to see the experience the way you see it. But they just can’t do it, because you can’t say it in a way they can comprehend.

Which is another way of saying, don’t expect much from me, from what I’m about to tell you. I’ve found in life, and this is pretty much my life philosophy, that if I lower my expectations, I’m less likely to be disappointed.

We were on our way to Louisiana, where Aunt Betty and Uncle John lived. My father and I. Me and my father. Aunt Betty was Papa’s first cousin, but she was the right age to be an aunt, and Grandma treated her more like a daughter than a niece, so we called her Aunt Betty. How she went from being married to a Jewish gynecologist in Akron to being married to a crude, brutish, bigotted large-animal veterinarian in northwest Louisiana, who was, oh, also, a sex pervert---I’ll never understand. “Sex pervert” is what my mother called him after she caught Uncle John standing on a milk crate looking in the bathroom window at her while she was sitting on the toilet. There was a mimosa tree outside and the window was always open because of the wonderful smell of overripe peaches the mimosa blossoms sent forth without ceasing. Uncle John ruined it: the scent of the mimosa blossoms, the lambs in the pasture, the fishing on Lake Bistineau, the trips to Louisiana, the whole shared joy of a tranche of family, at least for my mother. She never went back. But I don’t want to get sidetracked—the bathroom incident was on a later visit, not this one.

And now I see I’ve got this all backwards. Papa and I didn’t drive down to Louisiana. That was another time. I was already in Minden, with my mother and my sister Julie, and Papa came down later. The three of us, me, my mother, and Julie, had flown down, at least part of the way on Lake Central Airways, a detail I remember because “Lake Central Airways” was painted on the wing of the plane, and I swear I remember thinking at the time: “I’m gonna remember this.” A prop plane, of course. This was sometime in the mid-fifties.

Papa could only spend a week away from his patients and then he had to get back. That was it---we had flown down, then he drove down, and we all went back with him.

So Papa gets to Minden, planning all along to go back up to Arkansas, stay at one of the big hotels in Hot Springs, take the baths, and fish on Lake Ouachita. And I get to go with him---just me.

How old was I, five or six? It's hardly surprising that I don’t remember much. I don’t remember the drive up to Arkansas or the drive back. I don’t remember if my father was still smoking cigarettes or if he had quit by then (he put on a fair amount of weight after he quit). I don’t remember anything about the food, which is surprising. I don’t remember how many fish we caught, or if we took them back to Louisiana. I do sort of remember our guide, who, every time we got to a place where the fish were biting and we would catch a few, he would start the boat motor up and say something like “let’s see if we can find something better.” And he would take us to a place where the fish weren’t biting.

For some reason, one of those nights in Arkansas, we didn’t stay at a big hotel in Hot Springs. On the way up, I guess. This place wasn’t a tourist court, and it wasn’t a boarding house. “Rooms For Tourists,” maybe the sign said. It was this great big rambling house that stretched across the top of a hill. How my father found it I don’t know. Ford Times could have recommended the food. Or we could have just stumbled on it.

What I remember is the drive in---a rutted dirt road curved to the left around a small pond that had a little dock with a rowboat tied to it. Surrounded by trees, the pond looked like a volcano crater dropped down into the Arkansas forest, a small green oasis, not much more than fifty yards in diameter. There were lilly pads at one end and a stand of cattails over where there was a concrete outtake for when the rains got heavy and the little pond overflowed. The road kept curving and rising, moving back away from the pond as it did so; by the time we got to the front of the rooming house, we were a hundred feet above the level of the pond, looking down a fairly steep embankment to the dock where the rowboat was tied up. There were railroad ties set into the hillside to get down there. No doubt I asked my father if we could go out in that rowboat. “That’s a possibility,” he might have said. Which of course I would take for a “yes.”

I don’t remember much about the rooming house. I don’t remember taking our bags up the wooden steps that led to the heavy oaken doors. I don’t remember heavy oaken doors. I don’t remember checking in or freshening up or rushing down the stairs and running outside and flying down the hill, two steps at a time. I remember none of that. Honestly, it could well have happened that way. I just don’t remember. But not long after we got there, I was in the rowboat with my father, on the little pond.

Here’s what I do remember: we were in the rowboat— Papa and me. The little pond couldn’t have been more than forty or fifty yards across. We were drifting, going nowhere, the oars slack, Papa not saying anything, a hand trailing in the water maybe, the day wearing on, the sun slipping away, the pond mostly in shadow now, here and there a shaft of sunlight snaking through the branches of the trees at the top of the hill, striking the surface of the pond and sending light down, down, downward, illuming everywhere a forest of aquatic plants, everywhere swaying fronds, ropey cords knotted with translucent leaves, tattered-green streamers, kelpy-looking things, all in shades of green, some darker green, some lighter green, yellowish green where the sun was shining down, all waving and writhing and undulating to some unseen rhythm, some fantastically subtle, almost whispering rhythm that might have been nothing more than the the drift of our boat.

I was hypnotized.

Every now and then a breeze would blow through the branches of the trees, almost a sigh, almost a trembling. and the dappled patches of light would move on the water, if ever so slightly, performing a magical dance. And now and then the light shining down would catch a school of minnows sliding by, or a stray bluegill going somewhere.

What more is there to say, about that trip, that day, that waning afternoon, that look down into the unreachable promise of that green world? It wasn’t the kind of moment you can say anything about. It was just a perfect moment--- in a rowboat with my father on a pond in Arkansas

MEERWALA, Pakistan

After being kidnapped at the age of 16 by a group of thugs and enduring a year of rapes and beatings, Assiya Rafiq was delivered to the police and thought her problems were over.

Then, she said, four police officers took turns raping her.

The next step for Assiya was obvious: She should commit suicide. That’s the customary escape in rural Pakistan for a raped woman, as the only way to cleanse the disgrace to her entire family.

Instead, Assiya summoned the unimaginable courage to go public and fight back. She is seeking to prosecute both her kidnappers and the police, despite threats against her and her younger sisters. This is a kid who left me awed and biting my lip; this isn’t a tale of victimization but of valor, empowerment and uncommon heroism.

“I decided to prosecute because I don’t want the same thing to happen to anybody else,” she said firmly.

Assiya’s case offers a window into the quotidian corruption and injustice endured by impoverished Pakistanis — leading some to turn to militant Islam.

“When I treat a rape victim, I always advise her not to go to the police,” said Dr. Shershah Syed, the president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Pakistan. “Because if she does, the police might just rape her again.”

Yet Assiya is also a sign that change is coming. She says she was inspired by Mukhtar Mai, a young woman from this remote village of Meerwala who was gang raped in 2002 on the orders of a village council. Mukhtar prosecuted her attackers and used the compensation money to start a school.

Mukhtar is my hero. Many Times readers who followed her story in past columns of mine have sent her donations through a fund at Mercy Corps, at www.mercycorps.org, and Mukhtar has used the money to open schools, a legal aid program, an ambulance service, a women’s shelter, a telephone hotline — and to help Assiya fight her legal case.

The United States has stood aloof from the ubiquitous injustices in Pakistan, and that’s one reason for cynicism about America here. I’m hoping the Obama administration will make clear that Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with heroines like Mukhtar and Assiya, and with an emerging civil society struggling for law and social justice.

Assiya’s saga began a year ago when a woman who was a family friend sold her to two criminals who had family ties to prominent politicians. Assiya said the two men spent the next year beating and raping her.

The men were implicated in a gold robbery, so they negotiated a deal with the police in the town of Kabirwala, near Khanewal: They handed over Assiya, along with a $625 bribe, in exchange for the police pinning the robbery on the girl.

By Assiya’s account, which I found completely credible, four police officers, including a police chief, took turns beating and raping her — sometimes while she was tied up — over the next two weeks. A female constable obligingly stepped out whenever the men wanted access to Assiya.

Assiya’s family members heard that she was in the police station, and a court granted their petition for her release and sent a bailiff to get her out. The police hid Assiya, she said, and briefly locked up her 10-year-old brother to bully the family into backing off.

The bailiff accepted bribes from both the family and the police, but in the end he freed the girl. Assiya, driven by fury that overcame her shame, told her full story to the magistrate, who ordered a medical exam and an investigation. The medical report confirms that Assiya’s hymen had been broken and that she had abrasions all over her body.

The morning I met Assiya, she said she had just received the latest in a series of threats from the police: Unless she withdraws her charges, they will arrest, rape or kill her — and her two beloved younger sisters.

The family is in hiding. It has lost its livelihood and accumulated $2,500 in debts. Assiya’s two sisters and three brothers have had to drop out of school, and they will find it harder to marry because Assiya is considered “dishonored.” Most of her relatives tell Assiya that she must give in. But she tosses her head and insists that she will prosecute her attackers to spare other girls what she endured.

(For readers who want to help, more information is available on my blog at: www.nytimes.com/ontheground.)

Assiya’s mother, Iqbal Mai, told me that in her despair, she at first had prayed that God should never give daughters to poor families. “But then I changed my mind,” she added, with a hint of pride challenging her fears. “God should give poor people daughters like Assiya who will fight.”

Amen.

American actor Richard Gere (1949) has been hailed as "The Sexiest Man alive" and a humanitarian, but he is foremost a good actor. He shone in such box office hits as American Gigolo (1980), An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and Pretty Woman (1990). For portraying Billy Flynn in the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago (2002), he won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the cast.

Richard Tiffany Gere was born in 1949 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He was the second of five children of Doris Ann (Tiffany), a homemaker, and Homer George Gere, an insurance salesman, both Mayflower descendants. Gere had a strict Methodist upbringing. Richard started early as a musician, playing a number of instruments in high school and writing music for high school productions. He graduated from North Syracuse Central High School in 1967, and won a gymnastics scholarship to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where he majored in philosophy. He left college after two years to pursue acting. Gere first worked professionally at the Seattle Repertory Theatre and Provincetown Playhouse on Cape Cod in 1969, where he starred in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He landed the lead role as Danny Zuko in the London production of the musical Grease in 1973. While in London, Gere gained the privilege of becoming one of the few Americans ever to work with Britain's Young Vic Theater, with which he appeared in The Taming of the Shrew. He later reprised his role as Danny Zuko in Grease on Broadway. In 1974, Gere made his feature film debut with a tiny part in Report to the Commissioner (Milton Katselas, 1974). He returned to the stage the following year as part of the cast of an off-Broadway production of Sam Shepard's Killer's Head. Some of Gere's earliest photos, known as 'head shots' were taken by boyhood friend and struggling photographer Herb Ritts. The people handling Gere were so impressed with the photos that they began hiring Ritts for other assignments. Ritts became a top photographer. Onscreen, Gere had a few roles, and gained recognition in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (Richard Brooks, 1977) opposite Diane Keaton. He played his first leading role in the dream-like drama Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, 1978). Joshua Dysart at IMDb: "A poetic biblical parable played out in the Texas Panhandle at the turn of the century, it gives total preference to the emotion of imagery over the emotion of the actors. It's an exorcise in feeling and seeing that's so successful it elevated Terrence Malick into the ranks of visual storytellers like Tarkovski and Kurosawa." In Italy, Gere won the David di Donatello Award (the Italian Oscar) for Best Foreign Actor. Gere spent 1978 meeting Tibetans when he travelled to Nepal, where he spoke to many monks and lamas. Returning to the US, Gere won considerable theatrical acclaim for his performance as a gay concentration-camp prisoner in the Broadway production of Martin Sherman's Bent. For his role he received the 1980 Theatre World Award. Back in Hollywood, he played the title role in American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980), which established him as a leading man and a sex symbol. His star status was reaffirmed by An Officer and a Gentleman (Taylor Hackford, 1982) with Debra Winger. The film grossed almost $130 million and won two Academy Awards out of six nominations. Gere himself received his first Golden Globe Award nomination. In The Cotton Club (Francios Coppola, 1984) he appeared with Diane Lane. In the early 1980s, Richard went to Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador amidst ongoing wars and political violence. With a doctor, he visited refugee camps. In the late 1980s, his career seemed to have a dip. His celebrity status was jeopardized with roles in the several poorly received biblical drama King David (Bruce Beresford, 1985) and the underrated political drama Power ( Sidney Lumet, 1986).

In 1990 Richard Gere returned to the front row with two excellent films. In Internal Affairs (Mike Figgis, 1990), he was a sensation as the bad guy. Andy Garcia played an Internal Affairs agent who becomes obsessed with bringing down a cop (Gere) who manages to maintain a spotless reputation despite being involved in a web of corruption. Gere then teamed up with Julia Roberts to star in the the smash romantic comedy Pretty Woman (Garry Marshall, 1990). His cool reserve as a ruthless businessman was the perfect complement to Julia's bubbling enthusiasm. The film captured the nation's heart, and it earned Gere his second Golden Globe Award nomination. Fans clamored for years for a sequel, or at least another pairing of Julia and Richard. They got that with Runaway Bride (Garry Marshall, 1999), which was a runaway success. Gere received $12 million, and the box office was $152 million. Offscreen, Richard and Cindy Crawford got married in 1991. They were divorced in 1995. Gere had a leading role in the Japanese film Hachi-gatsu no rapusodî (Akira Kurosawa, 1991), a film warning viewers of the dangers of nuclear power. Gere is also active in AIDS fundraising and agreed to play a small role in the HBO film And the Band Played On (Roger Spottiswoode, 1993) despite the prevalent belief in the film industry a film about AIDS would be detrimental to his career. It was not. He co-starred with Jodie Foster in the box office hit Sommersby (Jon Amiel, 1993). A Buddhist for over a decade, he was banned from the Oscars once after making anti-China comments on the air at the 1993 ceremony. Gere played one of his best roles in Primal Fear (Gregory Hoblit, 1996), as a fame-hungry lawyer who defends an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a priest. People magazine had picked him as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world in 1991, and in 1999 picked him as their Sexiest Man Alive. The following year, the actor enjoyed some of his best reviews to date as a gynecologist at once devoted to and bewildered by all of the women in his life in the aptly titled Dr. T & the Women (Robert Altman, 2000). Critics noted that Gere seemed to have finally come into his own as an actor, having matured amiably with years and experience. After his divorce from Cindy Crawford, Gere had started dating actress Carey Lowell. In 2000, they had a son, Homer James Jigme Gere. Jigme means 'fearless' in Tibetan. Gere and Lowell married in 2002. His later films include the thriller Unfaithful (Adrian Lyne, 2002) in which he reunited with Diane Lane, the Oscar winning musical Chicago (Rob Marshall, 2002) with Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the ballroom dancing drama Shall We Dance? (Peter Chelsom, 2004), which grossed $170 million worldwide. In the comedy-drama The Hoax (Lasse Hallström, 2006), he played Clifford Irving who sold his bogus biography of Howard Hughes to a premiere publishing house in the early 1970s. Gere was one of the characters who embody a different aspect of Bob Dylan's life and work in I'm Not There (Todd Haynes, 2007). Other interesting films are the crime drama Brooklyn's Finest (Antoine Fuqua, 2009) with Don Cheadle, the British comedy-drama The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (John Madden, 2015) with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, and Three Christs (Jon Avnet, 2017) with Peter Dinklage. He was notably singled out for portraying businessman Robert Miller opposite Susan Sarandon in Arbitrage (Nicholas Jarecki, 2012), earning his fourth Golden Globe Award nomination. Gere is also an accomplished pianist, music writer, and above all a humanitarian. He's a founding member of Tibet House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan culture. He has been an active supporter of Survival International, which supports tribal people, including the natives of the Amazon, the Maasai of East Africa, the Wichi of Argentina. After 11 years of marriage, Gere and Lowell separated. Since April 2018, Richard Gere is married to Spanish activist Alejandra Silva.

No joke ... that happens in the best families ;-)

December 1. 2016, Fredericia Municipality took over the keys to buildings that were once Fredericia Hospital. It was the starting shot at Fredericia Health Center (Sundhedshuset).

Fredericia Health Center is now a good example of how to create health centers or local hospitals in Denmark.

Fredericia health center has many different functions together on their 27,000 m2. There are several GPs, gynecologists, physiotherapists, vocational training, dentists, hearing clinic, pharmacy just to name a few. There are still more floors that have not been taken into use.

German postcard by Ufa/Film-Foto, no. I 240. Photo: A. Grimm / CCC Film / Gloria. Publicity stll for Roman eines Frauenarztes/Novel of a gynecologist (Falk Harnack, 1954).

Serbian actress Nadja Regin (1931) started her career in Yugoslav-German co-productions and later she worked in Germany, Austria and New Zealand. In England, she guest-starred in many classic TV series of the 1960s and she appeared opposite Sean Connery in two James Bond films.

Nadja Regin was born as Nadezda Poderegin in Niš, Serbia in 1931. She graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade and also the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy. Her acting career began during her student years with small parts in Yugoslavian films like Prica o fabrici/The Factory Story (Vladimir Pogacic, 1949). She also appeared in the first film ever made in Macedonia, Frosina (Vojislav Nanovic, 1952) with Meri Boskova. Her career expanded through such Yugoslav-German co-productions as Das Haus an der Küste/The House on the Coast (Bosko Kosanovic, 1954) with René Deltgen, to Germany. There she played supporting parts in films like the drama Roman eines Frauenarztes/Novel of a woman doctor (Falk Harnack, 1954) with Rudolf Prack, and the romance Auf Wiedersehen, Franziska!/Goodbye, Franziska (Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1957) starring Ruth Leuwerik and Carlos Thompson. Later, she moved to England, where she appeared in the horror film The Man without a Body (Charles Saunders, W. Lee Wilder, 1957). A scientist resuscitates the head of 16th-century seer Nostradamus by transplanting it onto the body of a man suffering from a brain tumour. He does it for the benefit of an avaricious financier who wants the prophet to give him the power of prediction in business... In Don't Panic Chaps! (George Pollock, 1959), a British comedy set in WW II, she played an attractive young woman who set some forgotten soldiers on an Adriatic island back into a competitive, hostile attitude.

Nadja Regin played the female lead in the thriller The Fur Collar (Lawrence Huntington, 1962) about an espionage ring. She then acted in two James Bond films featuring Sean Connery. In the second James Bond film, From Russia with Love (Terence Young, 1963), she was the lonely mistress of Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendáriz). She also appeared in a smaller but still notable appearance in the pre-credit sequence of the next James Bond film, Goldfinger (Guy Hamilton, 1964). Her TV roles included The Invisible man (Peter Maxwell, 1959), Danger Man (1961-1964) featuring Patrick McGoohan, Maigret (1961) starring Rupert Davies, The Avengers (1961), The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre (1962-1964), The Third Man (1965), and The Saint (1967) with Roger Moore. Notable was also her role in the New Zealand thriller Runaway/Runaway Killer (John O’Shea, 1964) with Colin Broadley and Kiri Te Kanawa. It was the first locally produced New Zealand film in 12 years. In Austria she appeared in the TV series Donaug'schichten/Stories of the Danube (1966) with Willy Millowitsch and Christiane Hörbiger. At the end of the 1960s her film acting career halted. In the 1970s she moved to Australia. Her work included reading and selecting film scripts for production by film companies including Rank Films and Hammer Films. In 1980, she and her sister Jelena formed Honeyglen Publishing Ltd, a small publishing company, specializing in philosophy of history, belles lettres, biography and some fiction. She now devotes her time to writing and has written a novel, The Victims and the Fools, a children's story, The Puppet Planet, and has begun working on her Memoirs.

We had propaganda for kids' night in school, and one of the workers asked if I knew why I was there. I answered: “yes, because we have pastry, and I love to eat.” Life in Ukraine (Soviet Union) was never easy (my eye trauma at birth from a drunk gynecologist will be something that shall stay & torture me all my life), but I get goosebumps just from thinking what those kids go through right now there.

I'm not a doctor, but I play a girly cartoon gynecologist on Flickr, so please take my advice and take care of yourselves.

A small hospital was located in this building; the Dijsselhof clinic. My mother was helped with her uterus here in 1974.

Dijsselhofkliniek

The Dijsselhofkliniek was a relatively small hospital, located at the Dijsselhofplantsoen in Amsterdam South.

Part of the Dijsselhofplantsoen 14 building from 1929 by architect Hendrik Wijdeveld was taken into use in 1931 by the gynecologist Rudolf Theodor Meurer (1898-1979), son of gynecologist and rower Rudolf Meurer and Alberdina Meursing. In 1953 it grew into a maternity hospital for the less fortunate. In the early 1960s it was converted into a small hospital, in 1988 it celebrated its twenty-sixth anniversary; it then had thirty beds. It specialized in plastic surgery, varicose veins, ophthalmology, but also still gynaecology.

It also meant the end of the hospital, which had to close its doors due to cuts in healthcare. It offered small-scale care until the very end; the hospitals concentrated in ever-expanding medical centers. It closed its doors on July 1, 1989 because of the bed reduction demanded by the Ministry of Welfare, Public Health and Culture. A number of doctors left for Jan van Goyen Medical Center and the Boerhaave clinic; the latter closed its doors in 1994.

American actor Richard Gere (1949) has been hailed as The Sexiest Man alive and a humanitarian, but he is foremost a good actor. He shone in such box office hits as American Gigolo (1980), An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and Pretty Woman (1990). For portraying Billy Flynn in the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago (2002), he won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the cast.

Richard Tiffany Gere was born in 1949, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He was the second of five children of Doris Ann (Tiffany), a homemaker, and Homer George Gere, an insurance salesman, both Mayflower descendants. Gere had a strict Methodist upbringing. Richard started early as a musician, playing a number of instruments in high school and writing music for high school productions. He graduated from North Syracuse Central High School in 1967, and won a gymnastics scholarship to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where he majored in philosophy. He left college after two years to pursue acting. Gere first worked professionally at the Seattle Repertory Theatre and Provincetown Playhouse on Cape Cod in 1969, where he starred in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He landed the lead role as Danny Zuko in the London production of the musical Grease in 1973. While in London, Gere gained the privilege of becoming one of the few Americans ever to work with Britain's Young Vic Theater, with which he appeared in The Taming of the Shrew. He later reprised his role as Danny Zuko in Grease on Broadway. In 1974, Gere made his feature film debut with a tiny part in Report to the Commissioner (Milton Katselas, 1974). He returned to the stage the following year as part of the cast of an off-Broadway production of Sam Shepard's Killer's Head. Some of Gere's earliest photos, known as 'head shots' were taken by boyhood friend and struggling photographer Herb Ritts. The people handling Gere were so impressed with the photos that they began hiring Ritts for other assignments. Ritts became a top photographer. Onscreen, Gere had a few roles, and gained recognition in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (Richard Brooks, 1977) opposite Diane Keaton. He played his first leading role in the dream-like drama Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, 1978). Joshua Dysart at IMDb: "A poetic biblical parable played out in the Texas Panhandle at the turn of the century, it gives total preference to the emotion of imagery over the emotion of the actors. It's an exorcise in feeling and seeing that's so successful it elevated Terrence Malick into the ranks of visual storytellers like Tarkovski and Kurosawa. In Italy, Gere won the David di Donatello Award (the Italian Oscar) for Best Foreign Actor. Gere spent 1978 meeting Tibetans when he travelled to Nepal, where he spoke to many monks and lamas. Returning to the US, Gere won considerable theatrical acclaim for his performance as a gay concentration-camp prisoner in the Broadway production of Martin Sherman's Bent. For his role he received the 1980 Theatre World Award. Back in Hollywood, he played the title role in American Gigolo (Paul Schrader, 1980), which established him as a leading man and a sex symbol. His star status was reaffirmed by An Officer and a Gentleman (Taylor Hackford, 1982) with Debra Winger. The film grossed almost $130 million and won two Academy Awards out of six nominations. Gere himself received his first Golden Globe Award nomination. In The Cotton Club (Francis Coppola, 1984) he appeared with Diane Lane. In the early 1980s, Richard went to Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador amidst ongoing wars and political violence. With a doctor, he visited refugee camps. In the late 1980s, his career seemed to have a dip. His celebrity status was jeopardized with roles in the several poorly received biblical drama King David (Bruce Beresford, 1985) and the underrated political drama Power (Sidney Lumet, 1986).

In 1990 Richard Gere returned to the front row with two excellent films. In Internal Affairs (Mike Figgis, 1990), he was a sensation as the bad guy. Andy Garcia played an Internal Affairs agent who becomes obsessed with bringing down a cop (Gere) who manages to maintain a spotless reputation despite being involved in a web of corruption. Gere then teamed up with Julia Roberts to star in the the smash romantic comedy Pretty Woman (Garry Marshall, 1990). His cool reserve as a ruthless businessman was the perfect complement to Julia's bubbling enthusiasm. The film captured the nation's heart, and it earned Gere his second Golden Globe Award nomination. Fans clamored for years for a sequel, or at least another pairing of Julia and Richard. They got that with Runaway Bride (Garry Marshall, 1999), which was a runaway success. Gere received $12 million, and the box office was $152 million. Offscreen, Richard and Cindy Crawford got married in 1991. They were divorced in 1995. Gere had a leading role in the Japanese film Hachi-gatsu no rapusodî (Akira Kurosawa, 1991), a film warning viewers of the dangers of nuclear power. Gere is also active in AIDS fundraising and agreed to play a small role in the HBO film And the Band Played On (Roger Spottiswoode, 1993) despite the prevalent belief in the film industry a film about AIDS would be detrimental to his career. It was not. He co-starred with Jodie Foster in the box office hit Sommersby (Jon Amiel, 1993). A Buddhist for over a decade, he was banned from the Oscars once after making anti-China comments on the air at the 1993 ceremony. Gere played one of his best roles in Primal Fear (Gregory Hoblit, 1996), as a fame-hungry lawyer who defends an altar boy (Edward Norton) accused of murdering a priest. People magazine had picked him as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world in 1991, and in 1999 picked him as their Sexiest Man Alive. The following year, the actor enjoyed some of his best reviews to date as a gynecologist at once devoted to and bewildered by all of the women in his life in the aptly titled Dr. T & the Women (Robert Altman, 2000). Critics noted that Gere seemed to have finally come into his own as an actor, having matured amiably with years and experience. After his divorce from Cindy Crawford, Gere had started dating actress Carey Lowell. In 2000, they had a son, Homer James Jigme Gere. Jigme means 'fearless' in Tibetan. Gere and Lowell married in 2002. His later films include the thriller Unfaithful (Adrian Lyne, 2002) in which he reunited with Diane Lane, the Oscar winning musical Chicago (Rob Marshall, 2002) with Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the ballroom dancing drama Shall We Dance? (Peter Chelsom, 2004), which grossed $170 million worldwide. In the comedy-drama The Hoax (Lasse Hallström, 2006), he played Clifford Irving who sold his bogus biography of Howard Hughes to a premiere publishing house in the early 1970s. Gere was one of the characters who embody a different aspect of Bob Dylan's life and work in I'm Not There (Todd Haynes, 2007). Other interesting films are the crime drama Brooklyn's Finest (Antoine Fuqua, 2009) with Don Cheadle, the British comedy-drama The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (John Madden, 2015) with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, and Three Christs (Jon Avnet, 2017) with Peter Dinklage. He was notably singled out for portraying businessman Robert Miller opposite Susan Sarandon in Arbitrage (Nicholas Jarecki, 2012), earning his fourth Golden Globe Award nomination. Gere is also an accomplished pianist, music writer, and above all a humanitarian. He's a founding member of Tibet House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan culture. He has been an active supporter of Survival International, which supports tribal people, including the natives of the Amazon, the Maasai of East Africa, the Wichi of Argentina. After 11 years of marriage, Gere and Lowell separated. Since April 2018, Richard Gere is married to Spanish activist Alejandra Silva.

This is a "First Day of Issue" envelope commemorating the Mayo brothers, Dr. William J. Mayo and Dr. Charles H. Mayo. The U.S. Postal Service issued the stamp on September 11, 1964, to honor the Mayo brothers and their medical legacy. The stamp features a portrait of the brothers adapted from a statue by James Earle Fraser. The stamp's design is green, a color traditionally associated with medicine, and includes the staff of Aesculapius, a symbol of healing. First Day of Issue covers are postage stamps on an envelope or postal card that are franked on the first day the stamp is issued.

Clyde J. Sarzin was a creative cachet maker known for his distinctive metallic first day covers, often featuring a thin sheet of metal affixed to the envelope, and for his space-themed covers. He was active from the 1960s to the 1970s, and his cachets are typically black-and-white with some single-colored examples for the Apollo missions. Sarzin also created more traditional first day covers, but his metallic and space covers are his most famous work.

Dr. Charles Anthony Hoffman, the new president of the American Medical Association, is a conservative from the hills of Appalachia who rose out of near poverty and survived a long illness and a series of personal reversals to make his way in life. “I had to work to eat,” he said of his youth in a statement reflecting the attitude of a self made man toward national welfare policies. Dr. Hoffman, who seldom uses his Christian name and is known as Carl, heads the nation's largest organization of physicians, with more than 200,000 members. He is the first West Virginian to become president of the A.M.A., which ended its five‐day convention here today. He developed his interest in urology, a branch of medicine dealing with the genitourinary tract, because of a kidney ailment that left him seriously ill when he was in his late twenties and early thirties.

Max H. Parrott / Canadian American obstetrician and gynecologist - ATLANTIC CITY, June 20 —The new president of the American Medical Association, Dr. Max Horton Parrott, is a surgeon with nine fingers and an unusual nerspective on the plight of the patient because he has a disorder that has seriously affected his hands.

Malcolm Todd - Malcolm C. Todd - Dr. Malcolm Todd, a former president of the American Medical Association who helped develop a precursor of the Medicare program, died Monday in Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. He was 87. In the late 1940s, as a Navy consultant, he collaborated with Adm. Jimmy James in developing a program that provided medical care to service members’ dependents. A longtime friend, Rhoda Weiss, a consultant to the medical center, said the program for military dependents served as a model when, in the 1950s, Dr. Todd advised U.S. officials on ways to provide health insurance to people 65 and older. Weiss said Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson consulted Dr. Todd about plans for the Medicare program, which Johnson signed into law in 1965. Dr. Todd also served as a personal physician to President Richard Nixon and accompanied him on political campaigns in the 1950s. As president of the AMA in 1974 and 1975, Dr. Todd devoted much of his term to encouraging doctors to investigate unfit colleagues and to look for new policing mechanisms. Local medical societies, he said, often were “derelict in exercising their responsibilities.” LINK - www.chicagotribune.com/2000/10/06/malcolm-todd-headed-ama/ and LINK - pahx.org/bios/todd-malcolm-c/

5. Dr. Wesley W. Hall Sr.

(b. 11 July 1906 in Lumberton, Mississippi - d. 1 January 1978 at age 71 in Reno, Nevada) - LINK to his newspaper obituary - www.newspapers.com/article/reno-gazette-journal-obituary-...

Wesley W. Hall Sr. - Tall, craggy‐faced Wesley W. Hall is a surgeon in Reno, Nev., and current president of the American Medical Association. Often when he speaks in public in his slow western drawl with a faint undertone of his native Mississippi, his talk is larded with homely anecdotes and laced with Rotary Club jokes. Regarded as a conservative, he had defeated three other candidates in 1970 to become president‐elect and most people expected that he would be a bland, hale‐fellow‐well‐met presi dent after he took office a year later. But his inaugural address to the House of Delegates last June was an earth shaker, precipitating a bitter split in the leadership. Dr. Hall had said that the A.M.A. is losing credibility, not merely with much of the public, but within the profession itself. He listed among its problems a lack of interest on the part of young doctors, financial waste, managerial inefficiency, overlapping committees, ill‐defined responsibilities and cutthroat politics at the highest levels. And he called for a constitu tional convention to restructure the association. The president of the American Medical Association, saying “our house of medicine is in need of major repairs,” renewed his call today for a constitutional convention to overhaul the association's or ganizational and governing structure. Dr. Wesley W. Hall of Reno spoke shortly after the group had been urged by two of its councils to turn down his proposal for such a constitutional convention, first proposed at the organization's annual meeting last June in Atlantic City.
