BORNSTEIN--Harold, Nelson, M.D. 73, passed away on Friday morning, January 8th. He was born in 1947 in New York City to Maida and Jacob Bornstein, M.D. He graduated from Tufts University (1968) and Tufts Medical School (1975) in Boston - always a loyal Tufts Jumbo. He completed his internship and residency at Lenox Hill Hospital in Internal Medicine. Dr. Bornstein returned to New York City after his fellowship at a Yale affiliate hospital in Connecticut, and went into practice with his father, Jacob. He also served on the staff of Lenox Hill Hospital for more than forty years. Dr. Bornstein devoted his life to the practice of medicine, which he regarded as a sacred privilege. His devotion to his patients was unparalleled and he continued a traditional style of personal medicine, making house calls and holding the hands of those in need until the end. As a lifelong learner, he often spent nights under a lamp reading and annotating Italian language literature. Dr. Bornstein was a force of nature who brought joy to his family, friends and everyone he encountered in life, and continues to do so in memory. He loved his wife, Melissa. He inspired all of his children to be empathetic and passionate in their lives, and most importantly to cherish each other. A devoted husband and loving father, Dr. Bornstein is survived by his wife, Melissa (Brown), his daughter, Alix, and sons, Robyn Bornstein M.D., Joseph Bornstein M.D., Jeremee, and Jackson. His children will miss regular trips to the Giants game with one of their biggest fans. Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be a private service for family and friends. With sadness, the office at 101 East 78th Street will be without a "Dr. Bornstein", ready and waiting to care for his fellow New Yorkers, for the first time in almost 70 years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Harold N. Bornstein Memorial Medical Education Fund. http://
