Book Description
To the abdominal surgeon a first successful Whipple's procedure is what a first combat mission is to the fighter pilot: a symbol of competence, the fruits of prolonged training. Not many surgeons managed to incorporate their names into a commonly used eponym - Allen Oldfather Whipple (1881-1963) did, and so became immortalized as a household name to surgeons worldwide. Yet little has been known and written about Whipple, the great American surgeon, his personal life, or his other interests. This is what this book is about: an edited version of Whipple's previously unpublished memoirs which, until now, for more than forty years have gathered dust. In these pages the retired Whipple describes the journey of his life from the very beginning in Persia, where he was born, to the very end in New Jersey, where he died. The editors have abbreviated the original manuscript by a third, and have added footnotes and illustrations. An introduction and 'end page' adds perspective to the memoirs. Samir Johna, MD, is an assistant professor of surgery at the Loma Linda School of Medicine, California, and Moshe Schein, MD, is a professor of surgery at Cornell University Medical College, and a surgeon at the Bronx Lebanon Hospital, in New York.
