FROM: WADE --Whenever asked, Estelle and I would say that we met as volunteers for the local public TV fund drive phone bank. This is the TRUE story, one known by few others than the ones involved. Before she was the Renegade Doctor, Estelle Toby Goldstein, MD, was a young researcher in Wichita who treated finding a husband as a scientific problem — literature review, checklist, and a personal ad in the Wichita Eagle. Wade was the data point who answered. Drawn from her own writings on the best piece of science she ever perpetrated, and on the thirty-three years that followed.

Love and Kisses – DocteurG is a biographical program drawn from the writings and the record of Estelle Toby Goldstein, MD, produced with the help of AI research tools. It is presented for information and storytelling. It is not medically certified, and it is not medical advice. Questions about any medication or treatment should be directed to your own doctor or to the drug company.

While Estelle wasn’t directly punished just for being intelligent, her advanced abilities and stepping up in class did lead to school rejections and reprimands:

• • Barred before enrolling: Before she was even old enough for elementary school, a local elementary school principal saw her reading articles aloud to an audience. He went to her home and warned her mother that Estelle could never attend his school, reasoning that being so far ahead of the other children would make her disruptive or a bad example.
  • Reprimanded in fourth grade: When her fourth-grade teacher arrived inebriated and dozed off in the corner, Estelle stepped up to the chalkboard and began teaching her classmates the times tables. When the principal walked by and discovered her leading the class, he removed the teacher and reprimanded Estelle for "taking advantage of the unconscious teacher".

Additionally, her intellect led her to skip grades, which brought other difficulties: at a prestigious private school where she was skipped ahead, she was ridiculed by peers for wearing outdated hand-me-down clothes, and later in medical school in France, a professor publicly dressed her down for taking a spot in a male-dominated field.

Dr. Goldstein was a military veteran and psychiatrist whose career was profoundly shaped by her firsthand experience of the Oklahoma City Bombing and her extensive service within the Department of Veterans Affairs. Drawing from her Bio-Psycho-Social model, she heavily criticized institutional reliance on addictive pharmaceuticals and instead championed non-toxic alternatives for treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. Her integrative approach combined energy psychology techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming with targeted neuro-nutritional supplementation to heal damaged neural pathways. By teaching veterans self-care methods such as meridian tapping and personal affirmations, she empowered them to achieve rapid emotional catharsis without painful re-traumatization.
