It has been over 20 years since I worked with Dr. Cortez at one of the Cincinnati Public Health Clinics. Out of the blue memories of him came to me this morning. I am sorry to see that he has so recently passed. In my memories Dr. Cortez was very down to earth, caring for his patients, and crazy about his wife and children. We shared a lot of good humor and compassion. I remember that he generously shared his Audio Digest CME tapes with me. Sending prayers for comfort for all who are touched by his loss.
