Linda Laubenstein
Linda Laubenstein (May 21, 1947 – August 15, 1992) was a doctor, and early HIV/AIDS researcher. Along with Dr. Alvin Friedman-Kien, she published the first article linking AIDS with Kaposi's sarcoma.〔
A childhood bout of polio left Laubenstein paraplegic and using a wheelchair. After graduating high school she graduated Barnard College. She then received her M.D. from the New York University Medical School, where she became a clinical professor.
== Career ==
A specialist in hematology and oncology, and clinical professor at the New York University Medical Center she was one of the first in the United States to recognize the appearance of the AIDS epidemic and was author (with Dr. Alvin Friedman-Kien) of the first published article on the related appearance of Kaposi's sarcoma.〔 Colleague Dr. Jeffrey Greene called Dr. Laubenstein "the ultimate AIDS physician". Despite her handicap, she would meet patients in the emergency room in the middle of the night and even made house calls, using her motorized wheelchair and public buses. "She was sicker than most of her patients but didn`t let it stop her," Greene said.〔
With Freidman-Kien she arranged the first full-scale medical conference on AIDS, at New York University in 1983 and helped found the Kaposi's Sarcoma Research Fund in 1983. Outspoken about what she said was the neglect by government and society in fighting AIDS, some of her views were controversial among gay groups, particularly the belief that bathhouses should be shut down to discourage unsafe sex.〔
