Dr. Mark E. Rosenthal

It is hard to believe Mark has been gone 22 years- for those of you who were close to Mark you might be interested to learn that in 2004 after consulting with Mark´s family, my wife and I created an annual Scholarship in Mark´s memory which is awarded each year by Union College to a senior intending on going to Medical School who like Mark was involved in the School´s community- the recipient is selected by the Chair of the Biology Department- the 20th recipient of the annual Mark Rosenthal...

Mark and I spent many hours in the Penn law library copying and recording class notes. Neither of us wanted to be identified with the typical class grindes who always sat in the front seats in the lecture halls at Penn Med. We lived in the Graduate Towers and ran together at night and shared a house with other med school classmates at 4242 Chestnut Street. It's hard to imagine how many of the front row seats people were astounded when Mark and I both were inducted into the AOA...

I began visiting Dr. Mark when I was 23 years old and had my first bout with atrial flutter. I had just relocated to the Philadelphia area work and was referred to him by an RN where I worked. From the beginning, he made me feel comfortable, informed, and prepared. He won the respect of my family as we went throught two ablations over the next 7 years as well and after meeting him, they knew immediately why he made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Mark would always be willing to promptly call me...

As a night shift nurse on 2WE. I would always look forward to seeing Dr. Rosenthal, not just because my shift would be almost over, but he was always so pleasent and always willing to answer my questions, even if it did not pertain to one of his patients. He is someone who I always will admire and look up to. I am so grateful for having known him for the short period of time that I did. And as for our last conversation, when I audition for American Idol, I will be thinking of him

I have to admit that when I first started working at Abington Memorial Hospital, I was intimidated by Dr. Rosenthal. I would always see him making rounds at 6:00am but was often afraid to say hello. After a period of time I began to see just how wonderful he was. He cared so much about his patients, fellow coworkers and friends. Always willing to stop and talk, always willing to answer a few questions, and always looking for a good laugh. Dr. Rosenthal has taught me a lot over the past four...

I was informed of Dr. Rosenthal's death by another nurse that I work with on 2WE. At that time, I was walking out the door to make a trip to upstate New York where I was raised, not far from where Dr. Rosenthal was raised. I was unable to leave for over an hour after hearing the news. I will miss him greatly and will always remember how he genuinely cared about others. He always asked me how I was feeling after my recent hospitalization and offered to tape a television show for me while I...

Dr Rosenthal has been my cardiologist for 3 years now, and i recently got a job working in his office. He was such a smart, wonderful, and caring man with a great sense of humor. He took care of my heart which means the world to me. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. I loved and cared for him so very much, and i will never forget him. He was one of a kind. My condolences to the family.

Dr. Rosenthal was very good to my mother-in-law Phyllis Fox. And I love him for that.
