Dr. Edward Daniel Lin

I knew Ed because he was my husband Paul's roommate in medical school in Iowa, while I started medical school in California and Ed's wife Suzanna was a medical student on the East Coast. My friends and I joked that Ed and Paul were the "Odd Couple". Ed proved to be a brilliant, Yale-trained anesthesiologist and inventor. He, Suzanna and their family settled in Florida, while Paul and I returned to California. But we kept in touch all these years. Ed was dearly loved by so many and is greatly missed. I believe his inventions have and will continue to greatly improve the practice of medicine from his medical companies.

Ed and I were roommates throughout our years of medical school. I was consistently studious, while Ed rarely studied until 3 days before a test. He would hole up in his bedroom and engage in non-stop studying at the last minute. We both got good grades- he did as well as I did, by gum! Our recurring greeting to each other was an enthusiastic "Banzai"!
