Dr. Marc Siegel: Measles, 'The Brady Bunch' and 'Star Trek'

7 years 6 months ago
Back in 1969, with the first man landing on the moon, the first TV show on a future doctor’s mind was “Star Trek,” not the “Brady Bunch.” In fact, as a child I was in awe of Doctor McCoy and his tricorder, and even now, I see the latest advances in artificial intelligence and robotics and I think of McCoy operating on the brain without an incision or instruments. We are getting there. The "Brady Bunch," by contrast, was a laughable comedy promoting good cheer, if it taught a lesson at all it was about what we called then the nuclear family, certainly nothing about health or medicine.
