“I think back to my care of Barbara [T. Ferraro]. You know, Barbara and Jay continued to travel during her illness. They did things that resulted in a good quality of life for Barbara over that time,” he said. “In response to that, we personalized an approach for her that built in regimens just for her. This individualized fine tuning to the patient is important, but alongside all the clinical pieces, it can be very challenging and heartbreaking when it’s clear a patient isn’t responding.” DR. WARSHAL WAS PREPARING FOR HIS VOCATION FROM A YOUNG AGE. “My father wanted all his children to become doctors, and I was the one who bit. I was drawn to science, and I used to awaken at 6:00 a.m. and watch a show called Sunrise Semester. It was produced by New York University,” he said. “I was nine, but it really appealed to me. While the rest of the family slept, I would watch it – there was always something that caught my interest. It influenced my aspirations for medical school.” Sunrise Semester was one of the first examples of distance learning and featured lecturers across many NYU for-credit courses on an array of academic subjects. The young man who watched it has grown into a physician who has a deep and abiding passion for the team he leads at Cooper. He believes each one is valuing their patients as individuals and considers them to be family. “Everyone is so dedicated to what they do,” he said. “As a division head, it’s wonderful and it’s a pleasure working with such dedicated people. I think that makes a major difference to our patient.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
