Robert Ira Lewy
Robert Ira Lewy, M.D., F.A.C.P. (born October 16, 1943) is an American doctor who has conducted research on aspirin therapy in heart disease and safety in recipients of silicone breast implants. During the 1990s, he was one of several doctors who played an active role in litigation against breast implant manufacturers.
==Career==
Lewy earned a degree in biology from Franklin and Marshall College in 1964, where he was selected to be a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society as a senior. He then earned a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1970. He practiced clinical hematology and oncology in Houston, Texas from 1979 until 2005, except for a brief period working for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa.〔Davis, K.L., in ''The Oklahoma City Journal Record'', August 4, 1999〕 During this time he was Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Lewy was accepted as a Fellow of the American College of Physicians in 1983.
Lewy has published papers on the alleged health effects of silicone breast implants〔Lewy RI. "Laboratory findings reveal potential harm of breast implants". ''Texas Medicine'' 89(12):7, December 1993 PMID 8178307 〕〔Preface, page x, ''Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology'' 210: Immunology of Silicones, M. Potter and N.R. Rose, eds, pages 337-352, Springer Verlag 1996. ISBN 3-540-60272-0〕〔Lewy RI. "Autoimmune markers and imaging abnormalities in silicone breast implant users". ''Clinical Research'', 42(2):275A, 1994〕〔"Autoimmune disease and collagen dermal implants". ''Annals of Internal Medicine'', 120(6):524-525, 15 March 1994. PMID 8311382〕〔Lewy RI. "Antinuclear Antibodies, Lipid Disturbances and Central Nervous System Imaging Abnormalities in Silicone Breast Implant Users" ''Journal of Investigative Medicine'' 43(2):333A, 1995〕
During the 1990s, Lewy had a "lucrative practice" acting as an expert witness in litigation against breast implant litigation as well as treating women with silicon-breast implants.〔Gina Kolata, "(A case of justice, or a total travesty?; How the battle over breast implants took Dow Corning to Chapter 11 )", ''New York Times,'' June 13, 1995.〕 Seeing a large volume of patients - many of whom were referred to him by lawyers - Lewy was one of several doctors named in a New York Times article in which some medical experts criticized the "assembly-line practices" of a few doctors as being "intended more to help women collect vast court awards than to treat medical problems". In the same article patients said they were satisfied with and grateful for the treatment they received from Lewy and other doctors, and Lewy stated that he and other doctors "have taken on large patient loads because many other doctors are ignoring the health problems of women with implants".〔Gina Kolata and Barry Meier, "(Doctors, lawyers and silicone: a special report.; Implant lawsuits create a medical rush to cash in )", ''New York Times,'' September 18, 1995.〕
