Welcome to the new blog for ACHE. ACHE stands for American Headache Society Committee on Headache Education. ACHE has undertaken an initiative to redesign and improve the patient education section of our web site at www.ACHENet.org and renamed it The Fred Sheftell, MD, Education Center in honor of our beloved friend and colleague Dr. Fred Sheftell, who lost his battle with cancer last year.
Dr. Sheftell had become an institution unto himself. His love of caring for his patients, working with his colleagues, headache medicine, the American Headache Society (AHS) and ACHE will never be forgotten.
It's only fitting that the first entry on this blog be dedicated to Dr. Sheftell as we work to build the Education Center named for him and continue his wishes to help patients. Rather than continue writing, I'm going to share a few short videos that say more about him and say it better than I ever could.
So, from Dr. Sheftell himself...
This is "Migraine Blues," music and lyrics by Dr. Fred Sheftell and performed by him as well...
This video is from an interview of Dr. Sheftell talking about his career...
This is "What's Wrong With Me," again Dr. Sheftell performing a song for which he wrote both the music and lyrics...
