• Remembering Ingrid Elisabeth Sommer · 8mo ago

  Former resident, born in Tehran

  I came to Munich in 1991 speaking medical German from a textbook. Professor Sommer corrected my grammar at the bedside, in whispers, so no patient noticed. She told me she had once been 'the girl from Breslau with the accent'. I now head a paediatric department myself. She is why.
