When I completed my infectious diseases training at New York Hospital-Cornell University the name Benjamin Kean was legendary. Unfortunately, I arrived nearly 7 years after his death. Dr. Kean's New York Times (1993) obituary is found here.
I recently discovered Dr. Kean's memoir, in the form of a dusty library book titled M.D.: One Doctor's Adventures Among the Famous and Infamous from the Jungles of Panama to a Park Avenue Practice. A damn good read!
A proper dedication to Dr. Kean was published in ID Clinics of North America, available here.
