...along. That's why they got a divorce. But I also know this: Dr. Lewinsky worked very hard--full time as a radiation oncologist to treat cancer and at night as an emergency physician. He was, and is, a compassionate man. All this talk of a violent temper, of verbal abuse of his children and wife, has more to do with lawyers and divorce strategy than reality...
