Hi MEDLIBers,

A resident here swears he saw an article in the New York Times from late
last year (say Oct - Dec 1998, he even clipped it but then lost it) dealing
with "the death of compassionate medicine" or words to that effect. He said
that they used a Norman Rockwell theme throughout, and that it was about a
doctor who had also been physician to either Ronald Reagan or George Bush.
I've looked in the NY Times 365 day index, a number of national newspaper
indexes (having learned that memory is not always perfect, even for
residents :-), general medical and healthcare databases (Lexis-Nexis),
Expanded Academic Index, a number of WWW searches for people talking about
this article and various and sundry other databases and have found nothing.
The closest was about Patch Adams, which is definitely not the one he
remembers. Anyone have any ideas?

Help me, MEDLIB-L, you're my only hope!

Allan
