I attended Tulane Medical School on scholarship and became an honor society student. After an internship in Philadelphia, I volunteered for the Navy Medical Corps and was billeted with the Marines. Then surgical fellowships at Mayo and Ochsner Clinics and residency at Tulane followed. I earned a Ph.D. in cell biology, studying how cancer cells multiply and how heart muscle energizes.

I was a faculty member at Tulane and the Baylor College of Medicine under Dr. Michael DeBakey during the golden age of cardiovascular surgery. Retirement took place at the University of Missouri, where I was distinguished professor and Hugh Stevenson Chair of Surgery. Four books and over 400 other publications have resulted during my career – listed below. After 50 years, I was named Tulane Medical School’s Alumnus of the year.

My greatest credential, allowing me to advise you properly, came from the experience that I became a patient after retirement.
