Subject: RE: Obit: Dr. Michael Mosley - UK physician/journalist
BWM, thanks for the update on the autopsy. When Dr Mosley was missing I was thinking terrible thoughts that he had been kidnapped, based on the assumption that it would be hard to just get lost on such a small island, although having seen the TV footage I have seen the hazardous terrain. My other thought was that he had fallen into the sea.
One of our Oz TV channels, SBS TV, made a documentary series earlier this year called Australia's Sleep Revolution and they are repeating the broadcast, starting last night. It's difficult to watch Dr Mosley being his usual intelligent, friendly, empathetic, knowledgeable self while now knowing that he has passed away tragically.
I have been a consistent fan of his TV shows over many years and I have tried some of the medical and health options he has discussed and studied with good success, so I am finding it very personal knowing that he is gone.
Someone who was interviewed on the news last night made a comment that many of the people who came to Dr Mosley's live shows didn't come to buy his books but to say thank you for dramatically improving their lives. I would be in that category.
