Spirituality, The Other Side Of The Human Life
Peter Attia’s Outlive is for me a personal manual to the human body. But there is another aspect of being alive. And is far more fascinating. I got interested in Wayne Dyer’s writings in the 90′, in the second trimester of my life. I had a busy cardiac surgical practice, often operating at night, on […]

The goals for fitness at 80
When I was 40, my financial advisor designed our investment and estate plan until the age of 90. It’s ridiculous, I thought. At that time, I worried about the next 10 years. But now I know how thoughtful he was. When we are younger, we don’t think of our health fifty years ahead. But we […]

Gösta Iwasiuk, M.D. a friend and a Renaissance Man
We had been born a few months apart, a few hundred kilometers from each other. We both have Slavic surnames. Both became surgeons.

‘Genius on the Edge’, by Gerald Imber, M.D.
I wrote about Dr. William Halsted’s life achievements, and about his vices, in the post https://witoldniesluchowski.com/how-did-a-cocaine-addict-change-surgery-in-america/. The book, Genius on the Edge, is, however, about a different aspect of his life story. It’s about how, out of nowhere, there appeared in Baltimore a medical excellence center.
