Are you willing to see his patients? Because the ones that tried to filter to me the last few years were routinely on MEDs >90 mixed with healthy smattering of benzodiazepines. Some of them filling 240 hydrocodone a month like clockwork. Review of records was like reading a Word document. So if you’re willing to see them I am happy to send them your way. Had no idea he was supposed to be an upstanding physician.He was very kind and easy going but definitely helped his program grow and the field grow
Not a malignant type of director. He was easy to approach.
He was very active in his local community and many knew him well due to his local community contributions and activities
it comes in threes.....On a related note, RIP Gerry Malanga and Rob Gotlin
I think in our culture, when you get sick, you're supposed to be stoic and not disturb others. Kind of a shame.He was committed. A lot of people didn’t even know he was sick. He was battling some kind of sarcoma for years I believe

I think this is poor form. If the thread was about his practicing habits, then sure go ahead and criticize however desired... But it isn't.Are you willing to see his patients?

It also makes you wonder how others will remember YOUR practice habits when you're gone.
nice quote.“Regret is something you’ve got to just live with, you can’t drink it away. You can’t run away from it. You can’t trick yourself out of it. You’ve just got to own it.” -Anthony Bourdain
Not much of a legacy for any of us…..and I don’t think Marty would careIt also makes you wonder how others will remember YOUR practice habits when you're gone.
that's exactly what i was going to saynice quote.
A bit tarnished though by the same man not being able to live with his own regrets.

I knew martin for years, did a research fellowship in his department, he interviewed me for residency as well, however i do not agree his principles of pain management, i think he is a good and straightforward guy, RIP!
