10/11/21 • 25 min

Without innovation the research field of medicine would fade away. Research is hard and at times can be crushing. Dr. William Oh is a pioneer for prostate cancer research and is optimistic about the future of the field. We discuss his contributions which have pushed our limits of understanding, but we also learn about who he is as a person and what lies in his heart.....his family. I was happy to have met him and am sure you will feel the same after listening to him speak. This is Medicine: Beyond the Science.

The KGB had a dossier on him, he attended the funeral for a Soviet Head of State, and as an American he was asked by the Soviet Union to coordinate medical relief to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The life of Dr. Robert Peter Gale sounds like it should be a movie, in fact his accounts at Chernobyl were made into a film, in which he was portrayed by Golden Globe winning actor Jon Voight. Having published more than 1,000 scientific articles and over 20 books, his contributions to the medical field is well established, but we also learn of his compassion towards his patients and pride he takes in his students.
