  • John Benjamin Murphy, MD
    An American Original: John Benjamin Murphy, MD By: Ron Sims, Special Collections Librarian In late December 2010, the Galter Library was pleased to accept donated materials from Barbara Miller, the great granddaughter of J. B. Murphy. Among the treasures are photographs, newspaper clippings, an oil portrait and copies of Dr. Murphy’s Clinics. One of the more interesting items is a letter of introduction dated January 5, 1891, addressed to German authorities in Berlin from the Cook County Hospital administration, requesting assistance in obtaining “Koch lymph” for the Hospital. These and other items will be on display in the Eckenhoff Reference Room and the second level reception area of Special Collections through early fall 2011. John Benjamin Murphy, MD, LLD, MSc was Professor of surgery at Northwestern from 1901 to 1905. Following a brief hiatus at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, he returned to Northwestern in 1908. He was chief of surgery at Mercy Hospital, Northwestern’s first teaching hospital, from 1895 until his death in 1916. Born in a log cabin near Appleton, Wisconsin in 1857, John Murphy was to become an American surgical marvel of national and international fame. After attending a country grade school, he continued his education in Appleton, where a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, R. H. Schmidt, taught him logic and chemistry. Mr. Schmidt was a forceful speaker and was a great influence on young John and his classmates. Dr. H. W. Reilly, the Murphy family physician, became one of young John’s heroes, as well as his preceptor in medicine.

    Department of Surgery 2020 Annual Report On the cover: Resident Brandon Alba, MD, MPH, performs a microsurgery procedure with Deana Shenaq, MD, director of Rush’s Integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Residency program. | Department of Surgery Letter from the Chair For much of the world, 2020 has been a year of monumental challenges. But for the Rush Department of Surgery, this has been a year of immense opportunity. In the first months of the year, our teams carefully monitored the global outbreak of COVID-19 and capitalized on the opportunity to collaborate with one another, reshape our clinical spaces and transform our care delivery in just a few weeks’ time. Clinical spaces and building entrances transformed into socially distant havens where patients would be met with not only a temperature screening, but a kind face to assure them that they were in good hands for their care. As we shifted other visits to telemedicine, our team saw opportunities for maintaining connections with our patients throughout the pandemic and beyond. Virtual visits became one of our most powerful tools and we saw unprecedented growth in our new telemedicine platform. Support groups and webinars quickly followed suit, bringing the expertise of Rush providers directly into the homes of our patients. Our team efforts paid off and, even when state and local regulations led to a postponement of elective surgical cases, our patients continued to get the care they needed. When urgent operations were needed, our teams embraced the opportunity to deliver lifesaving care, even to patients who were suffering from COVID infections.
