Rheum With a View

Richard S. Panush, MD  |  Issue: October 2011  |  

I recently returned from taking Lia to Israel for c 10d for a wedding and bar mitzvah (my sister lives there; her youngest son’s wedding and her oldest son’s son’s bar mitzvah). Rena and our daughter were certain I would either lose Lia or that we’d be abducted and taken hostage or something equally dire. Perhaps I’ll have an opportunity to comment about our experiences and impressions in a future column in The Rheumatologist. So, we’re doing fine and enjoying our new life.

Dr. Panush is professor of medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
