  • Virginia: Birthplace of America
    VIRGINIA: BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICA Over the past 400 years AMERICAN EVOLUTION™ has been rooted in Virginia. From the first permanent American settlement to its cultural diversity, and its commerce and industry, Virginia has long been recognized as the birthplace of our nation and has been influential in shaping our ideals of democracy, diversity and opportunity. • Virginia is home to numerous national historic sites including Jamestown, Mount Vernon, Monticello, Montpelier, Colonial Williamsburg, Arlington National Cemetery, Appomattox Court House, and Fort Monroe. • Some of America’s most prominent patriots, and eight U.S. Presidents, were Virginians – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson. • Virginia produced explorers and innovators such as Lewis & Clark, pioneering physician Walter Reed, North Pole discoverer Richard Byrd, and Tuskegee Institute founder Booker T. Washington, all whose genius and dedication transformed America. • Bristol, Virginia is recognized as the birthplace of country music. • Virginia musicians Maybelle Carter, June Carter Cash, Ella Fitzgerald, Patsy Cline, and the Statler Brothers helped write the American songbook, which today is interpreted by the current generation of Virginian musicians such as Bruce Hornsby, Pharrell Williams, and Missy Elliot. • Virginia is home to authors such as Willa Cather, Anne Spencer, Russell Baker, and Tom Wolfe, who captured distinctly American stories on paper. • Influential women who hail from the Commonwealth include Katie Couric, Sandra Bullock, Wanda Sykes, and Shirley MacLaine. • Athletes from Virginia – each who elevated the standards of their sport – include Pernell Whitaker, Moses Malone, Fran Tarkenton, Sam Snead, Wendell Scott, Arthur Ashe, Gabrielle Douglas, and Francena McCorory.

  • Hospitals and Clinics 81
    Hospitals and Clinics 81 Chapter Three Hospitals and Clinics INTRODUCT I ON The attack on the Pentagon killed 125 Department of Defense (DoD) personnel outright, including 33 Navy and 22 Army active-duty deaths. Seventy civilians, including nine contractors, also lost their lives. No construction workers were among those killed because they were all working in another area at the time of the crash. Of the many injured survivors who made it out of the building, 125 sought medical care at area hospitals and clinics on 9/11. Approximately 64 were treated and released, and about 61 had physical injuries serious enough to be ad- mitted to medical facilities. Dozens more sought treatment for minor injuries dur- ing the remainder of the week. Military and civilian hospitals treated and admitted both military and civilian casualties. By 15 September, only 20 patients remained in local hospitals. (See the discussion of discrepancies in official casualty counts in Chapter 1.)1(p314),2(pB-15),3–8 Immediately after American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, area hospitals with previous agreements to work together in a crisis contacted one another. Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) communicated with military and civilian support hospitals in Northern Virginia; Washing- ton, DC; and Maryland. WRAMC’s emergency room staff had been meeting monthly with emergency personnel from hospitals in the DC Hospital Asso- ciation, and communications had been tested every day regarding bed avail- ability and other contingency concerns.

  • Bearing His Full Name and Practicing Medicine in Chicago
    MEMORIAL Xxi rectitude and dignity. Among the children who survive him is a son bearing his full name and practicing medicine in Chicago. GENERAL WILLIAM C. GORGAS. William C. Gorgas was born in Alabama on October 3rd, 1854. He was the son af General Josiah Gorgas, the Chief of Ordnance of the Southern Confederacy and after the Civil War the President of the University of the South. Gorgas was graduated from the Uni- versity of the South with the degree of A.B. in 1875 and from the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1879. He entered the Medical Department of the Army on June 16th, 1880, as first lieutenant, became captain in 1885 and major in 1898. In early life Gorgas had had yellow fever. In those days yellow fever was rightly dreaded. As Gorgas was the only immune among the officers of the Medical Department with the exception of Surgeon-General Stern- berg he was naturally the first one to be thought of for duty that involved exposure to that disease. Having accompanied the expedi- tion against Santiago, he was soon appointed Chief Sanitary Officer of Havana, which office he held from 1898 to 1902. Walter Reed, at that time a major in the Medical Department, was first sent by General Sternberg to Cuba to study yellow fever in 1900 and in June of that year was appointed president of the board of which Carroll, Agramonte and Lazar were the other mem- bers. Gorgas from his position naturally cooperated with the board (Reed acknowledges valuable suggestions from him), but his other duties forbade active participation in the researches which resulted in the memorable discovery of the mode of infection in yellow fever and of the proper means of exterminating that disease.

  • Woodrow Wilson's Hidden Stroke of 1919: the Impact of Patient
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 39 (1):E6, 2015 Woodrow Wilson’s hidden stroke of 1919: the impact of patient-physician confidentiality on United States foreign policy Richard P. Menger, MD,1 Christopher M. Storey, MD, PhD,1 Bharat Guthikonda, MD,1 Symeon Missios, MD,1 Anil Nanda, MD, MPH,1 and John M. Cooper, PhD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University of Health Sciences, Shreveport, Louisiana; and 2University of Wisconsin Department of History, Madison, Wisconsin World War I catapulted the United States from traditional isolationism to international involvement in a major European conflict. Woodrow Wilson envisaged a permanent American imprint on democracy in world affairs through participa- tion in the League of Nations. Amid these defining events, Wilson suffered a major ischemic stroke on October 2, 1919, which left him incapacitated. What was probably his fourth and most devastating stroke was diagnosed and treated by his friend and personal physician, Admiral Cary Grayson. Grayson, who had tremendous personal and professional loyalty to Wilson, kept the severity of the stroke hidden from Congress, the American people, and even the president himself. During a cabinet briefing, Grayson formally refused to sign a document of disability and was reluctant to address the subject of presidential succession. Wilson was essentially incapacitated and hemiplegic, yet he remained an active president and all messages were relayed directly through his wife, Edith. Patient-physician confidentiality superseded national security amid the backdrop of friendship and political power on the eve of a pivotal juncture in the history of American foreign policy. It was in part because of the absence of Woodrow Wilson’s vocal and unwavering support that the United States did not join the League of Nations and distanced itself from the international stage.

  • Dr. Walter Reed, M.D., M.A., L.L.D
    Dr. Walter Reed, M.D., M.A., L.L.D Dr. Walter Reed (1851-1902) Conqueror of the Yellow Fever Walter Reed was born on September 13, 1851, in a small country home at Belroi, Gloucester County, Virginia. He was the last of five children of the Reverend Lemuel Sutton Reed and his wife Pharaba White. His father was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who moved every two years to a different circuit of the church. It was during a two year service (1851-1852) that Walter was born. He studied medicine at the University of Virginia. On July 1, 1869 Walter and nine other students received their M.D. degrees. He stood third in his class and was the youngest graduate of the Medical Department. Two years after receiving his diploma from Bellevue Hospital Medical College (New York University Medical Center), Reed sought an appointment in the Medical Corps of the United States Army and in 1875 he was commissioned as Assistant Surgeon, with the rank of first lieutenant. In this same year he married Miss Emilie Lawrence, of Murfreesboro, North Carolina. He had two children Walter Lawrence Reed born at Fort Apache (1877) and Emilie Lawrence Reed born at Fort Omaha (1883). Stricken with appendicitis, he died of acute peritonitis on November 23, 1902. On the granite shaft over his grave is a bronze tablet with the legend: "He gave to man control over that dreadful scourge, yellow fever." Even more suitable than bronze as a memorial is the Walter Reed General Hospital in Washington, D.C., established by the United States Army in 1906.
