I
have spent the past 25 years helping women with PMS, post-partum
depression and the hormonal fluxes of the peri-menopausal transition.
Fortune smiled down by the acceptance of a number of my articles
about breast cancer and female brain hormone chemistry being published
in major medical journals, including a co-authored book on womens
health.
I owe all this to Pomona
College which got me into medical school. And especially to my
faculty advisor Dr. Ryerson (Biology) who continued to believe
in me, despite being rejected across the board the first time
I applied, and to Dr. Smith (Chemistry) who allowed me to pass
organic chemistry despite a complete lack of facility for the
subject.
