• W2534987130 abstract "Professor Solomon Posen Professor Solomon (Sol) Posen was a beloved clinician, teacher, and research scientist known to many generations of doctors and nurses for his enquiring mind, sharp wit, and commitment to others. He worked at Sydney Hospital, Royal North Shore Hospital, and the University of Sydney for over 40 years as an endocrinologist, treating thousands of patients with complex bone and mineral diseases, and training a great many of Sydney's medical and health specialists. Sol kept much of his early life to himself, suggesting that parts of it were both traumatic and formative. His parents, a school teacher and his wife, migrated to Britain from Frankfurt, Germany just before the outbreak of the WWII with their seven children, presumably to escape the rise of the Nazis. In their adopted home, life was not easy. His father was interned during WWII. Sol studied Arts at the University of Manchester, majoring in history and English literature. Initially he taught in the UK, but was attracted to medicine, applying and being accepted to medical schools in Adelaide and Melbourne. Around 1949, he set sail for Australia, ultimately deciding to stay in Adelaide because of its warm and dry climate. As a student he shone. His other great achievement during medical school was to meet Jean Simpson over a cadaver in the dissecting room, successfully convincing her to become his wife. Jean was a young physiotherapist and a perfect match for Sol's wit and intelligence. Their partnership endured for 61 years, and together they raised four wonderful children. Sol was a devoted husband and family man, loved and admired by all of them. His love of literature and the use of language became a passionate hobby and his “black-felt pen” corrections (the older equivalent of “track changes”) of the manuscripts of many young investigators became legendary. His reputation for excellence in the area of bone and mineral metabolism spread internationally, and such was his attraction that many of these colleagues visited him in Sydney, introducing his fellows and postgraduate students to the excitement of international collaboration and ideas. He was a founding member and past president of the Endocrine Society of Australia and a founding and lifetime member of the Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society, which established the Sol Posen Research Award for early career researchers in 2006 in his honor. Sol was a consummate academic, questioning, experimenting, and publishing over 150 original articles and commentaries, and several books. He was awarded his MD in 1960 following postgraduate study at the University College in London, where his interest in bone and mineral metabolism was kindled. His famous work, which established his international reputation, was with alkaline phosphatase. Very soon after publication, his original paper had been cited more than 1000 times. His mind effervesced with new ideas. He led work on parathyroid hormone disorders, vitamin D, hypercalcemia in malignancy, the mechanism of action of vasopressin in hypercalcemia, and the effects of kidney and liver disease on bone. His first book, entitled, Alkaline Phosphatase, with coauthors from Hartford, Connecticut, was a thorough treatise, meticulously written and referenced. His later books brought together his love of medicine and English literature. The Doctor in Literature: Satisfaction or Resentment?, was published first, with four subsequent volumes and a sixth book partly completed. They are required reading for anyone interested in medical humanities. He was a tremendous mentor and supporter of his registrars and postgraduate students. Long before the rest of the world caught up, Sol encouraged young married women to undertake careers in medical research. He organized projects and practical arrangements that enabled them to succeed, despite caring responsibilities. Sol was also a model teacher. His lectures and tutorials were always superbly structured and delivered, illustrated and punctuated with wit, and examples from patients who were often participants in his teaching. The warmth and care that he demonstrated in a patient consultation extended to these teaching sessions and became the model consultation for many of us. In seminars, Sol would ask, “May I ask an ignorant question?” It was always something the audience all wanted to ask—the speaker may not have explained something properly, or at all. But the rest of us just sat there, not wanting to give the impression we had not understood. He attended and contributed significantly to the weekly journal club until a few weeks before his death, when he presented very clearly and succinctly the importance of the Tasmanian Devil's facial cancer to the understanding of human cancer. At Grand Rounds, which he attended almost every week for over 50 years until very recently, he would always ask the key question. His ability to relate to people and identify what mattered most to them through the question: “What would you do if this was your mother?” remains the single most important question for all of us in the practice of medicine. Sol approached his recent diagnosis of renal cancer with the same scientific rigor that he used in managing his own patients. When he sustained serious injuries in an accident in May, he chose, in his usual pragmatic way, not to have further treatment and died a day later. Sol was loved dearly by his family and by many colleagues and patients. He was a mentor and role model to many of us; the archetype academic, questioning and attending lectures and journal club until the end. Generous and kind, with a magnificent intellect, he has a very special place in our hearts. Bruce G.
