Doctor Curmudgeon Another First!

By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP Doctor Eisman is in Family Practice in Aventura, Florida with her partner, Dr. Eugene Eisman, an internist/cardiologist

She was the daughter of an Omaha Tribal Chief and she never forgot what he told his daughters: “Do you always want to be simply called those Indians or do you want to go to school and be somebody in the world?”

And so, Susan La Flesche Picotte became a warrior on her path to become the first Native American physician.
