Memories of Da' Bronx

Beschreibung

Do ya remember growing up, living, or visiting the Bronx, or greater New York City area? African Americans and Latino Americans, particularly Puerto Rican immigration, social-political forces, as well as upheavals in the 1950s and 1960s, would change the Borough. This diverse demographic immigrant population infusion would contribute to the Salsa music movement and Hip-Hop origins. Unfortunately, later, crime and urban decay wrought by ethnic and racial tensions and poverty would forever stigmatize the Borough. Yet, for Barrio inhabitants, a day at Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo and Lion House, Orchard Beach, or simply a game of Stickball played on the expansive asphalt streetscape, would be reminisced on as treasured memories. Aromatic culinary scents of sofrito and sazon in the air, the Third Avenue EL train nearby, with its cars constantly careening and screeching their wheels, added to this ambiance, all the latter rekindles nostalgia for days gone by for many Bronxites.

Jerry J. Marty, MD, MBA was born in the Bronx in 1948 at the former Lincoln Hospital, then, at the corner of 141st Street and Southern Boulevard. He resided at Simpson Street in the South Bronx until 1960, when the family moved to Queens, seeking a better quality of life and opportunities, then later, Long Island. Those early years were memorable as well as formative. Much later, he was to receive his medical degree in 1976 from Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan. Thereafter, he completed six postgraduate years of training at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Post Graduate Year one), Strong Memorial Hospital/University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York (Post Graduate Years two to three, and Post Graduate Years five to six), and, completed an additional year in Internal Medicine at Saint Joseph's University Hospital - VA Medical Center/Creighton University School of Medicine, Omaha, Nebraska (Post Graduate Year four). A Visiting Fellowship in Clinical Cytology and Fine Needle Aspiration was undertaken during the fall of 1989 under world-renowned Dr. Torsten Lowhagen at the Karolinska Hospital and Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. Dr, Marty currently resides in Southwest Florida, enjoying travel and photography.
