Twenty-three years ago, on 10 December 1985, ProCor's founder, Dr. Bernard Lown, and Russian cardiologist Dr Evgueni Chazov accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), the organization they co-founded.
An interview with Dr. Lown by The World marking this anniversary can be heard online athttp://www.theworld.org/?q=node/23106 . In the interview, Dr. Lown talks about his newly published book, Prescription for Survival, which recounts the founding of IPPNW and culminates with the controversial awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The current global health crisis is Dr. Lown's subject in a "web extra" available via the same link (just scroll down on the page); he reflects on the current direction of health care, the role of technology in medicine, and shares his memory of his mother's death and his thoughts on the use of the defibrillator, which he developed.
