Book excerpt: In the 1870s, surgery was a crude affair performed on the patient's kitchen table. In the frontier town of Rochester, Minnesota, Dr. W. W. Mayo brought his young sons, Will and Charlie, to assist him with operations. Fifty years later, Rochester became a medical mecca as the Mayo brothers were established as world-class surgeons. With a firm belief in sharing information and learning from others, the Mayo brothers proved the benefits of cooperation in a jealously competitive field, and accomplished more than any single colleague of their time. Emily Crofford gives a vivid account of the Mayos' meteoric rise to fame and their contributions as pioneers on the frontier of modern surgery.

Download or read book Frontiers written by Dr. Siva Murugappan and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can’t always predict when the unexpected will happen. Dr. Siva Murugappan understands this more than most. As a general surgeon, he’s an expert on prevention and protocols. A stroke definitely wasn’t on the agenda; he’d just climbed Mount Kailash in Tibet, 21,778 feet above sea level. But four months later, a stroke is exactly what happened—right in the middle of a medical procedure on a patient. Dr. Murugappan quickly discovered the guidelines and their limitations won’t work for him, that he must forge his own path. Frontiers: A Surgeon’s Journey through Stroke is a stroke survivor’s memoir through recovery and its expected and unexpected challenges. Told from the perspectives of Dr. Murugappan and his wife Dr. Prema Samy, Frontiers illustrates the ways stroke affects survivors and their loved ones alike. More than anything, this is a story of perseverance. Dr. Murugappan refuses to accept the narrative imposed him, that he’ll never practice medicine as he did pre-stroke. Like climbing Mount Kailash, stroke recovery becomes his new frontier. Regaining his medical licence drives his rehabilitation. This new purpose becomes essential when Dr. Murugappan and Dr. Samy realize there is no precedent in Canada for a doctor reclaiming their licence post-stroke. Now, this frontier must be surmounted not only for himself but for anyone in a similar situation, regardless of profession. And while he undertakes these challenges, his wife and caretaker must overcome her own. How much can anyone endure? How much can their marriage take? Dr. Murugappan and Dr. Samy soon find out.

Download or read book Frontier Surgeon the Story of Dr Ephraim Mcdowell written by L. Henry Dowell and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christmas Day 1809, a thousand miles from the nearest hospital and thirty-five years before the development of anesthesia, Dr. Ephraim McDowell removed a 22-pound ovarian tumor from the abdomen of a Kentucky woman. It was the world's first ovariotomy, and it eventually brought McDowell worldwide acclaim as the Father of Abdominal Surgery. Ephraim McDowell was born in Rockbridge, Virginia. His father, Samuel, was a colonel in the American Revolution, and was asked by President George Washington to come to Kentucky to settle land claim deeds. Samuel McDowell moved to Danville, became a judge, and played a key role in Kentucky 's quest for statehood, serving as president of the 1792 constitutional convention. Little is known about Ephraim's early education. At 16, he went to Staunton, Virginia to apprentice under the noted physician Alexander Humphreys. Dr. Humphreys had studied in Scotland at the University of Edinburgh. He encouraged his students to do the same. In 1792, young McDowell went to Scotland, where he studied with John Bell, the most celebrated surgeon in Europe. Returning to Danville in 1795, McDowell began a medical practice. He soon won a regional reputation as an accomplished anatomist and surgeon. Other practitioners consulted him about their difficult cases. In 1802, McDowell married Sarah Shelby, the daughter of Kentucky 's first governor, Isaac Shelby. The couple had six children. A frontier doctor saw some patients in his office, and rode many miles on horseback to see others. McDowell met Jane Todd Crawford when he was called to Green County by her physicians. They believed the 46-year-old woman was pregnant with twins, but she had not delivered and was in excruciating pain. McDowell determined that she actually was suffering from a large ovarian tumor, which moved easily from side to side and caused her abdomen to hang down to her knees. He told Crawford that the most eminent surgeons of England and Scotland were convinced that opening the abdomen to remove a tumor meant certain death from inflammation. He also recalled telling her that "if she thought herself prepared to die, I would take the lump from her if she could come to Danville." He wanted to personally attend to her after the operation. McDowell and Crawford both understood that It was an experiment, and her only hope of survival. She rode for several days to get to Danville, resting the tumor on the saddle horn. A religious man, McDowell performed the surgery on Christmas Day 1809, hoping the holy day would be propitious. As he often did before surgery, he scribbled a prayer on a piece of paper and placed it in his pocket. While Crawford sang hymns to distract herself from the pain, the surgeon, assisted by his nephew, removed a tumor weighing just over 22 pounds. Five days later, he found Crawford standing, making her bed. In less than a month, she was on the way home. She lived another 32 years. McDowell's boldness, nurtured perhaps by the spirit of the frontier, saved Crawford's life and paved the way for surgeries that have since saved untold numbers of lives. He himself performed the procedure at least eleven more times with only one death.
