Dr. '''Robert S. (Zalman Shaul) Mendelsohn''', M.D. ({{LifeData|1926-07-13|1988-04-05}}) was a practicing American pediatrician who authored several bestselling books on healthcare, appeared on TV and radio, and wrote a syndicated medical advice column. | |||
Beloved by many for his practical advice, Mendelsohn encouraged people to take a judicious approach to their medical care. He was a proponent of natural childbirth, breastfeeding, and limited medical intervention, while warning against the overuse of prescription medications and unnecessary surgery, which he called “ritual mutilation.” Mendelsohn was deeply troubled by [[circumcision]], writing and speaking against the practice. | |||
