John R. Judge, M.D. is a retired physician who practiced for over thirty-five years as a general pathologist, primarily in an large suburban hospital in greater Cleveland, Ohio. He also acquired a law degree during this time because of an interest in forensic science. After serving as a Navy physician during the Vietnam war, he spent several years as an NIH Fellow in Viral Oncology research, studying the relationship of viral infections to leukemia and lymphoma in both animals and humans. While working as a laboratory director in clinical pathology, he continued his efforts in viral research, working in the area of associating specific viral infections to human uterine cervical cancer. Dr. Judge has always been an avid student of the History of Medicine, especially as to how Medicine, as a discipline, has interacted with the society that it serves. Drawing on a lifetime of clinical experiences, case histories and medical foibles, he has chronicled these into several books, the latest of which is "Lost Cause, " which represents a situation that most likely would occur should a sudden cure for cancer "magically" appear.
