M&M: blending medicine and music

It is always said that medicine is a combination of science and art: sometimes it’s more science, in other occasions it’s more art. This issue of AE&M provides a real demonstration on how these two conditions can be blended. Dr. Oscar Bruno, a distinguished Professor of Medicine in Buenos Aires (Argentina), worldwide acknowledged endocrinologist and an opera lover, wrote an outstanding essay about Amelita Galli-Curci, one of the most important coloratura sopranos from the first half of the 20^th century and that had her beautiful voice damaged after a thyroid surgery.
