To all:
Hal Kushner and my good friend Ira Sharlip were U.S. Army Flight Surgeons at the same time in Viet Nam starting in late 1968. Ira mentioned him to me recently. Here is the link to the speech that Hal gave some years ago at an ophthalmology meeting in Philadelphia.
The first 22 minutes and 50 seconds are about ophthalmology. I think it is quite interesting but if you want to watch onlyhis POW experience start watching at 22 minutes 50 seconds. It’s about 36 minutes long. Hal was the only M.D. whowas a POW in the war in Vietnam.
I found his speech riveting and his patriotism is inspiring and powerful and on this upcoming Memorial Day
Hal Kushner, MD – Dying is Easy. Living is the Difficult Thing.
