PROFESSOR EMANUEL MANNY PAPPER
  MD, PhD

Columbia University Medical School

(United States)

[EDUCATION IN ANAESTHESIA]

​

 

Emanuel Papper, "Manny", was born and educated in New York City. He graduated from Columbia College in 1934 and obtained his M.D. degree from NYC in 1938. He started residency in Internal Medicine but a short rotation in the Bellevue Department of Anesthesiology, chaired by E.A. Rovenstine, attracted him to this new and dynamic clinical discipline. While training under Rovenstine, Manny pursued his research work in the laboratory of Homer W. Smith, an eminent renal physiologist. After wartime military service, Manny returned to Bellevue to become Rovenstine's first assistant and remained there until September 1949, at which time he accepted  the position of Director of Anesthesiology Service within the Department of Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. On January 1, 1952 he was appointed Chairman of the independent Columbia University Department of Anesthesiology. At that time there were only 3 other departments of anesthesiology in the world (University of Wisconsin, New York University and Oxford, England). Under Manny's leadership the clinical competence was strengthened by creation of subspecialty groups devoted specifically to pediatrics, obstetrics and neurosurgery. The educational program for residents was expanded and a required clinical clerkship in anesthesiology for all Columbia medical students was introduced, which remains in place to this day. Collaboration with basic science and clinical departments contributed to the development of strong faculty and future leaders in academic anesthesiology. Research began to flourish and some of the pioneering studies on the pharmacokinetics of anesthetic drugs, control of respiration, obstetric anesthesia and physiology of the newborn were conducted with the generous support of NIH, obtained mainly through Manny's efforts.

Manny left the department in 1969 to become Dean of the University of Miami School of Medicine.

He attended the department's 50th anniversary celebration on October 25th, 2002, and received an outpouring of love and affection.

Dr. Papper died on December 3rd, 2002. He is greatly missed.

PROFESSOR BERNARD ROY SIMPSON 1922-2012

Redcliffe Infirmary, Oxford

(United Kingdom)

[GENERAL ANAESTHESIA]

​

​

​

Bernard Roy Jerome Simpson MD, DPhil. FFARCS Aged 89 years. Born: 20 November 1922 in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom.

Died: 23 June 2012.   He leaves behind his wife of sixty years Ann Simpson and his three children Jane, Tim, and Robert, ten grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Roy Simpson trained in anesthesia at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford. He was a protégé of Sir Robert Macintosh. While at Oxford, Dr. Simpson published a seminal paper on the management of postoperative pain using a thoracic epidural technique for patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery who had respiratory insufficiency. This study led to the recognition that proper pain relief could facilitate recovery from surgery.

He received a Doctorate of Philosophy from Pembroke College Oxford and in 1962 he was appointed a consultant to The Royal London Hospital. 

He was promoted to Professor and Chair of The Anesthetics Unit in 1967. This was the teaching and research arm of the anesthesia department. 

Roy developed and directed the hospital’s first Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) and also the cardiac surgery anesthesia program.  The ITU was staffed by dedicated intensivists. He insisted on the acronym ITU instead of ICU (intensive care unit) as he stated we treat patients as well as care for them. 

Roy developed the Anesthetics Unit at The Royal London Hospital into a world-class center over the next 5 years. He gained international recognition for his work on the unexplained hepatitis following halothane anaesthesia that was published in the British Medical Journal in 1976.

Prof. Simpson gave very popular courses for young residents to prepare for the Primary Fellowship examination of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. 

Roy Simpson was an accomplished and very popular speaker and teacher. His love of sports spilled over in to his everyday life and added to his engaging personality. One never forgot the strong handshake and piercing eye contact “welcome” on meeting Roy.

Dr. Simpson accepted the position as Chief of the Department of Anesthesiology at Baylor University Medical Center in 1975 and moved to Dallas. Dr. Simpson took on many “political” battles during his tenure, mainly because of his zeal to develop a first-class anesthesia department delivering the best possible care to the patient. He did not seek the easy route of compromise but took controversies head-on.  Dr. Roy Simpson was a dedicated educator and researcher and continued this until his retirement in 1993. Roy’s favorite poem was by William Butler Yeats:

 

Cloth of Heaven

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Grande Dame of OB Anaesthesia

[OBSTETRIC ANAESTHESIA]

​

​

Gertie F. Marx, in full Gertie Florentine Marx (born February 13, 1912, Frankfurt, Germany—died January 25, 2004, Bronx, New York, U.S.) German-born American physician, known as the mother of obstetric anesthesia for her leading role in developing obstetric anesthesiology as a specialty. She pioneered the use of epidural injections to ease women’s pain during childbirth, and she was the founding editor of Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, a quarterly journal summarizing world literature on the subject. (Her last article published there was in 1991.) In spite of fierce opposition from the most conservative social and religious quarters, Marx succeeded in transforming obstetric anesthesia.

 

Marx enrolled at the Medical School of the University of Frankfurt in 1931. As a Jew, she became alarmed at Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, and she persuaded her whole family to leave Germany and move to Switzerland. After graduating with an M.D. from the University of Bern in 1937, Marx went to the United States, where she began her postgraduate training at the Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. Although her class in medical school had been 40 percent female, conditions for women were different in the United States, and she was the only female intern at Beth Israel. Marx eventually became the director of obstetric anesthesia at the hospital, a position she held until 1955. In that year, she transferred to the anesthesiology department at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.

 

In both institutions, Marx focused on relieving the pain of childbirth. This commitment made her many enemies. She argued that epidural anesthesia considerably reduced the pain that women experienced while giving birth. In addition to reducing pain, it was a much safer form of anesthesia for both mother and baby than general sedation, which caused respiratory depression as well sometimes as aspiration pneumonia (a condition caused by the introduction of material into the airways or lungs) in the baby that could lead to death. Some opponents claimed that epidural anesthesia slowed delivery and thus provoked an increase in cesarean sections. Others, citing the Bible (specifically Genesis 3:16), went so far as to argue that childbirth was intended to be painful. Many opposed Marx simply because she was a woman, and women physicians were neither common nor welcomed in those days. Nevertheless, her argument about the safety of the procedure proved true.

 

Marx’s other significant contributions included the advocacy of acute hydration to prevent abnormally low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia; her studies of aorto-caval compression, another complication of late pregnancy caused by the pressure of the fetus on particular blood vessels when a woman is supine; and her support of the use of regional anesthesia for emergency cesarean section. As a tribute to her work, one company named a line of needles developed specifically for use in obstetric anesthesia as well as amniocentesis for her.

 

Marx received numerous honours and awards for her contributions to anesthesiology, including the Distinguished Service Award from the American Society of Anesthesiology in 1988 and from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia in 1990. Queen Elizabeth II of England also presented her with a medal from the Royal College of Anaesthetists in 1993.

 

GERTIE F. MARX, M.D. (1912-2004):  THE 'MOTHER OF OB ANESTHESIA'

by Mieczyslaw Finster, M.D.

​

Gertie F. Marx, M.D., the "Grande Dame" of obstetric anesthesia, died on January 25, 2004, at the age of 92. Also called the "mother of obstetric anesthesia" in recognition of her pioneering contributions, Gertie was known and revered on practically every continent.

 

Born in 1912, in Frankfurt, Germany, Gertie obtained her primary and secondary education in her hometown, and in 1931, entered the Medical School of the University of Frankfurt. With the rise of Nazism, Gertie was forced to transfer to the University of Bern, Switzerland, from which she received an M.D. degree in February 1937. She immigrated to the United States two months later.

 

Her postgraduate training began with a rotating internship at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. Women physicians were not exactly welcome in those days, and Gertie was accepted only after a male candidate backed out of his contract at the last minute. Thus she became the only female among 24 interns. Her four-month rotation in surgery proved decisive in her career choice. Not being strong enough to hold retractors during surgery, she was promptly relegated to anesthesiology, which was an integral part of the surgical rotation.

 

Although her original goal was to become a pediatrician, Gertie fell in love with anesthesiology. She applied and was accepted into the newly approved residency program at Beth Israel. Following her appointment to the attending staff at the same hospital, Gertie introduced the technique of caudal block, which she learned from Robert A. Hingson, M.D. This was the beginning of her devotion to regional anesthesia in obstetrics. Four years later, she officially became the Director of Obstetric Anesthesia and remained in that position until 1955 when she moved to the brand-new Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. The obstetric service had not opened yet, and Gertie worked full-time in the surgical unit. She was even instrumental in starting the anesthetic program for open-heart surgery.

​

Only one and one-half years later was she able to return to her "true love," taking care of parturients, teaching residents and pursuing clinical research. She excelled in all these endeavors until her retirement in 1995. In dealing with residents and her numerous fellows, Gertie was a demanding taskmaster but always willing to help them in difficult life situations. With many, she developed a lasting friendship. Her colleagues appreciated Gertie's forthright personality and scrupulous honesty.

 

Among the many contributions Gertie made, three had the most profound and lasting effects on obstetric anesthesia practice, namely, acute hydration for prevention of postspinal hypotension, studies of the aorto-caval compression and the use of regional anesthesia for emergency cesarean sections. Gertie authored or co-authored approximately 150 original articles and 30 textbooks and book chapters. In 1981 she became the first editor of Obstetric Anesthesia Digest.

​

Gertie received numerous honors and awards, including the Distinguished Service Award from ASA in 1988 and from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) in 1990. The one she was most proud of was a medal from the Royal College of Anaesthetists presented to her by Queen Elizabeth II in 1993. At the time of this article's original publication in 2004, Mieczyslaw Finster, M.D. was Professor of Anesthesiology,
Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York. 
He retired in 2007 and is now Emeritus Professor.

A CHANGE OF PACE!

​

In 1989 the then Nuffield Professor of Anaesthetics - Professor Douglas Joseph - after a long and destinguished career, retired from Anaesthesia with the University, the College of Anaesthetists and the RPA Hospital.

 

From 1989 there were no Jobson Visiting Professors until re-established in early 1997.  

 

RECENT HISTORY  In December, 1992 the Department of Anaesthetics appointed a new Nuffield Professor of Anaesthetics and Chairman, Professor Arthur Barrington Baker formerly of Dunedin Hospital in the South Island of New Zealand where he held the position of Head - Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at Otago University. 

 

Since the recommencement of the Jobson Visiting Professor Continuing Education Program in 1997, it has become an annual event on the Australian Anaesthetic Program, with Corporate Donations assisting in bringing our visiting professor to Australia and hosting a very successful Symposium with attendance of 220 at each 1 day Meeting.

​

SIDELIGHTS

Michael F. Roizen is a physician and author of several best-selling books on healthy living, including 2005's You: The Owner's Manual, An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger . He and co-author Dr. Mehmet Oz teamed up for another million-seller in 2006, You: On a Diet; The Owner's Manual for Waist Management , and their joint and solo appearances on Oprah Winfrey's top-rated daytime television talk show have made the pair household names. "From the time I was a kid, and wanted to become a doctor, I wanted to help people change their lives," Roizen told Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Evelyn Theiss. "What I always wanted to do is educate and motivate as many people as possible."

Roizen is a native of Buffalo, New York, where he was born in 1946 and raised in the Kensington/Bailey area of the city as one of four children. At the private academy he attended, the Nichols School, he struggled to earn good grades. "My French teacher told me, 'If you work real hard, you'll make honor roll by your junior year,'" he recalled in the interview with Theiss for the Plain Dealer , but admitted the low expectation of his abilities motivated him. "I made it in the middle of my freshman year."

 

After earning an undergraduate degree from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, in 1967, Roizen entered medical school at the University of California at San Francisco, where he met his future wife. He graduated with an M.D. in 1971, and spent his years as an intern and resident at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. For two years in the mid-1970s he was a research associate in pharmacology at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and then returned to the San Francisco area as an anesthesiologist and medical-school professor with the University of California's healthcare system in the city. In 1985, he and his wife, pediatrician Nancy J. Mrazek, moved their family to Chicago when Roizen was hired as professor of internal medicine and chairman of the department of anesthesia and critical care at the University of Chicago medical school and hospital.

 

Roizen had always been an active athlete, and excelled in squash to such an extent that he played on the racquet sport's U.S. team that competed at the 1984 Pan-American Games. In the early 1990s, he took a deeper interest in nutrition as a tool for optimum health, and began looking into published research findings on longevity, too. The dual inquiries led him to come up with his "real age" quiz, which established a number entirely different from a person's chronological age; years were added for poor health habits, such as tobacco use, or subtracted for those who exercised regularly or ate a certain amount of fish weekly, based on the premise that the omega-3 fatty acids found in many types of seafood reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. "The basic message was that you—not your genes—control your rate of aging," he explained to the Plain Dealer 's Theiss. "By the time you are 80, behavioral choices account almost entirely for your health." Roizen's first book, co-authored with Elizabeth Anne Stephenson, explained this concept in detail. RealAge: Are You as Young as You Can Be? appeared in 1999, became a New York Times bestseller (reaching No. 1 in its Advice/How-To category) and attracted the interest of television talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. Roizen made his first appearance on Oprah in 1999, which prompted sales of his book to soar overnight. He admitted that his first experience on live television may have subtracted a few months off his own real age due to stress. "They had nine of my patients on the show, and I had to memorize information on eleven other people I'd never seen," he told Theiss in the Plain Dealer . "I was like a deer in headlights."

 

Roizen followed up the success of his first book with The RealAge Diet: Make Yourself Younger with What You Eat in 2001. That same year, he took a new job as dean of the medical school at the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical Center/University of Syracuse facility, but lasted just nine months on the job. Some of the senior staffers were upset over his plans to restructure their pay packages, and Roizen stepped down but remained on staff as a professor of anesthesiology. In 2005, he joined the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, as chair of its anesthesiology, critical care, and pain management division.

Still a regular guest on Oprah , Roizen met another physician through Winfrey, and he and Dr. Mehmet Oz teamed up to write You: The Owner's Manual, An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger , published by Harper Collins in 2005. The book offered tips for a healthy lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and stress management, and was another New York Times bestseller. He and Oz—a cardiologist and Columbia University medical school professor—inked a deal with Simon & Schuster's Free Press to write three more books, which began with You: The Smart Patient: An Insider's Handbook for Getting the Best Treatment in 2006. Later that year, You: On a Diet; The Owner's Manual for Waist Management was published, and remained on the New York Times best-seller list for several months.

 

Roizen and his wife are the parents of two grown children—a son in medical school and a daughter pursuing a doctorate in chemistry. After spending much of his career in the operating room or the classroom, he is still stunned by the minor celebrity status he achieved thanks to his appearances on Oprah . "The privilege I get by having this visibility is, anyone will talk to me, and I get to learn," he enthused to a reporter for his hometown newspaper, Charity Vogel of the Buffalo News . "That's the joy. And the visibility gives me the opportunity to help people out. That's a privilege, not just a responsibility."

DR GORDON DRUMMOND

Respiration and Anaesthesia

[Scotland]

​

​​

 

 

Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer

Gordon is a retired Consultant Anaesthetist but continues to do research as an Honorary Fellow.

Background

Gordon Drummond trained in Cambridge and Edinburgh, and spent a short time in respiratory medicine before moving to anaesthesia. He spent a year learning classical respiratory physiology in Montreal. He was appointed a full time Senior Lecturer in 1995 and was very involved in the teaching and training of medical students and trainee anaesthetists, particularly honours students, student selected components, resuscitation teaching and teaching on gas exchange in the undergraduate curriculum.

Research

His main interests were the effects of anaesthetics and surgery on breathing. His present studies are focussed on the postoperative patient. He uses classical techniques, measuring pressure, flow and EMG; ventilatory responses to chemicals, pain, and sedation; and in addition novel systems such as structured light and orientation sensors.

Roles

He served as an editor of the British Journal of Anaesthesia and then as an editor of the Journal of Physiology. He has always enjoyed collaborative research and has worked with respiratory physicians, engineers, medical physics, pharmacologists, physiologists, and even gynaecologists!

Retirement

Gordon retired in 2010 but continues to be involved in research, and seems to have no spare time at all. He knows very little about genes or southern blots. His recent fields of interest are the pulse plethysmograph, peripheral temperature changes, and the activity of the abdominal muscles.
