Exposed early on to the scientific wonders of the medical community, to art, music and literature by her parents, her uncle, a renowned Romanian physician, Mauricius Blechman, head of The International Tuberculosis Society, was the most inspiring. After a visit to his laboratory in Bucharest, to examine bullfrogs and organisms moving under a microscope, she knew then at the age of five, that she would be a doctor. “In retrospect, my uncle was my inspiration for becoming a doctor. He was serious and successful, but what he did not show me was the humanity of medicine. That I got from my parents,” explains Dr. Erika. Young Erika’s family left Romania and moved to Italy where she graduated the Overseas School of Rome at age 16, a prestigious school attended by many English speaking children of the elite living abroad. There, Erika learned English and first came into contact with American ways. Eventually relocating to the Upper East Side of New York, Dr. Erika’s family reunited with her uncle and his partner, Dr. Emanuel Revici, considered one of the founders of anti-aging medicine. Dr. Erika’s exposure to these men and their dedication to keeping people healthy were crucial to molding her way of thinking. Dr. Erika, applied to several colleges, choosing to attend New York University because it kept her close to home where her traditional European parents wanted her and offered scholarship money, two critically important factors. “Becoming a doctor in Romania would have been very different, “she says, referring to the government control over the few choices a physician had. With a strong Renaissance European education, college in the US proved academically easy although socially she felt out of step with the college scene driven by television and pop culture she had missed growing up in eastern Europe.
