I had indicated to some folks that today’s AlignMap blog post would be a tad aberrant in that it would have no direct connection with AlignMap.com’s customary subject of adherence to prescribed treatment but would instead deal with Professor G.S. Brindley, an extraordinarily interesting individual, and his unusual contribution to medicine.

And, that was indeed the plan until 1 AM this morning when I serendipitously discovered a new source of pertinent information. To expand and incorporate that material, some of which contradicts data I had gleaned elsewhere, I am deferring the Brindley post, which I now anticipate publishing Monday, 6 Nov 2006.

I apologize for the last minute change.

Standing in for Professor Brindley today is another extraordinarily interesting individual who also made an unusual contribution to medicine: Professor Freud.

These anecdotes about Freud were told to me by one of his last analysands, Roy Grinker, MD, who was the Director of Psychiatry at Michael Reese Medical Center, where I served my residency and, as far as I know, are not available elsewhere on the internet except in protected databases. They are posted at Heck Of A Guy, my personal blog, which is not oriented specifically to healthcare professionals and which values entertainment as much as enlightenment.¹ I believe you will find these vignettes are both enlightening and entertaining.

The Roy Grinker Stories about Freud can be found at these links:
