Practitioner Who Quit Medicine Turns to Voice Culture
Scranton reports Dr. Lee B. Woodcock, once among the city’s wealthiest physicians, resigned his medical practice to pursue voice culture and join socialist activism. He says practical medicine is largely valueless and that treating pneumonia, where recovery depends on nature, shows doctors often cannot help and may harm humanity. Woodcock, a Medico-Chirurgical College graduate, has long studied in Europe and performed publicly as a baritone.
