E-DRUG: Andrew Herxheimer, 1925-2016 (5)
------------------------------------------------------------
I must add just a few words to the many already penned.
I knew Andrew over a long period of time as a wise counsellor, teacher and
friend. One memory: When Leo Meytler passed away in the 'fifties, it was
a question how we should continue "Meytler's Side Effects of Drugs".
Elsevier asked me to it edit alone, but I immediately turned to Andrew for
advice, since he had worked with Leo on the 7th Edition. He was full of
ideas, and they were reflected in the next edition, as well as in the
"Annuals" that followed. Andrew was an essential link in the Editorship
chain.
Andrew and Christine visited us in Oslo a few years ago and was as full of
humour and good spirits as ever. We shall miss him.
