I'm a neuro-ophthalmologist at Rutgers. I despise EMR & love to teach students/residents how to examine the brain directly w/ an ophthalmoscope (& indirectly w/ a detailed neurologic exam).
Wrote "Finding Einstein's Brain" but damn if it isn't lost again!

..Hooke himself survived until 1703.
The likeliest vector for the Great Plague was xenopsylla cheopis (oriental rat flea). The responsible gram-negative bacterium, Yersinia pestis, was not identified until 1894 during an outbreak in Hong Kong.
