years, in particular the history of care by and for the African-Amer-
ican community, the history of our medical society, and the history
of Jewish Hospital.
Dr. Weiss would soon take his teaching around the world. On
a sponsorship from Jewish Hospital, he traveled to Lima, Peru, to
lecture. Just two years after that, he visited Fukien Medical College
in China for a series of 10 lectures on cardiology.
Over 34 years ago, he met and fell in love with his wife, Terry.
“I started the Physicians Against Nuclear War Group. We held a
breakfast and she was there. We connected over a shared passion
to end the nuclear arms race and peaceful conflict resolution.” The
two would marry and have a son, David, collectively their fifth, as
she too had a son, Noah, already. After 10 years of marriage, Terry
went to medical school and is now a practicing family physician
in the Highlands.
The couple also raised a godson, Morris Anthony Howard. His
father, Tobe Howard, was a leading and legendary African-Ameri-
can disc jockey in Louisville who unfortunately passed away from
Rheumatic Heart Disease. “I was Tobe’s cardiologist. He had a child
and named him after me. I got drafted, and when I came back, Tobe
had died and Anthony needed a father figure in his life. I stayed with
him through grade school and high school, took him to father-son
events and supported him however I could.”

LOUISVILLE MEDICINE
Dr. Weiss and his wife have been active with the Kornhauser
Library for years. He even served as President of the Friends of the
Kornhauser Medical Library Group. In honor of his contributions,
the library worked with him to create the “Weiss Family Reading
Room.” Located on the building’s second floor, the area is a won-
derful place to read and study, and includes a Weiss family photo.
“As best I can determine, ours is the only family to have five
members graduate from the UofL School of Medicine: Terry’s grand-
father, ‘Uncle Doc’, my father, Terry and myself,” he said.
Dr. Weiss feels he has been fortunate to do what he loves, to
share his passions and time with so many close friends and family
members. “I feel like I’ve been able to balance my humanism and my
science. My kids are doing well. My grandchildren are doing well.”
And while he’s had many hobbies, he still finds happiness in the
practice of medicine. Despite being 85-years-young, he practices
cardiology four days a week.
As he finished his interview and left the alcove, Dr. Weiss said,
“I didn’t need to be a cardiologist. I happen to be good at cardiology,
but the emotional success in medicine is relieving pain and anxiety.
The joy I get out of medicine is making patients feel better.”

Medical Society.
