**Shulman**, Morton P., Toronto; University of Toronto, 1948; former coroner, Toronto. Died of complications related to Parkinson‚s disease Aug. 17, 2000, aged 75. Survived by 2 children. A feisty physician who inspired the CBC TV series *Wojeck*, he also served as an NDP member of the Ontario legislature and had a well-earned reputation as a risk-taking entrepreneur. After getting Parkinson‚s disease, he imported the drug selegiline (deprenyl) from Europe, where it was widely used to treat the disease, and claimed that it saved his life. At the time, it had not been approved for use in Canada or the US. He also wrote several books, the best known being *Anyone Can Make a Million*, which was published in 1966. He probably enjoyed his greatest fame as the best-known coroner in Toronto history. ”Four weeks into office, he took on the federal Department of Transport over its failure to require small boats to carry life jackets,” the *Globe and Mail* stated in his obituary. ”This was followed by attacks on cancer quacks, the Shouldice hernia clinic, the East General Hospital (where a woman had died after surgical instruments were left in her abdomen) and the medical profession (over tonsillectomy practices). The crusades came to an end in 1967 after he bucked the establishment once too often and was fired.”
