Testified famed Cardiologist Paul Dudley White: "Massachusetts has become a laughingstock because of its resistance to the removal of this handicap which threatens to stifle further advance in medicine and surgery.'' Nobelman John F. Enders spoke up for the bill. State Senator Philip G. ("Bow-wow") Bowker, 57, of Brookline declaimed: "It's a disgrace to tie the hands of medical researchers. I have two incurable diseases† in my body, but they are controlled because of animal experimentation. If it were not for that, I would be six feet underground...
Only 30 years ago the diagnosis of angina pectoris "was tantamount to the issuance of a death warrant." Today the panic associated with it has gone, and after 30 more years medical science may have reduced it to the status of an interesting rarity. So says famed Cardiologist Arthur M. Master of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital in the A.M.A. Journal. Angina pectoris (literally, suffocating pain in the chest) is caused by sclerosis of the coronary arteries in a clutching, chronic form-less dramatic than the violent seizure of the heart attack, when a coronary artery actually shuts down...
...Like all such ideas, it was tried first on dogs. Last week in Boston Children's Medical Center, a mongrel named Airplane, with a strip of collie in his bar sinister, was dubbed "Dog Research Hero of the Year," invested with a new collar and silver medallion by Cardiologist Paul Dudley White for having helped to prove the operation feasible. Airplane now leads a pampered existence in Dr. Gross's laboratory, gets periodic heart checkups...
...felt the tightness return. He gave up, went on sick call. Doctors, unable to decide what ailed him, even sent him to a fever isolation ward before he ended up in the cardiac clinic of Walter Reed Army Hospital. Because his case was so tricky, the hospital called Presidential Cardiologist Thomas Mattingly for consultation. Colonel Mattingly had the diagnosis in jigtime: a rupture, creating a tunnel between the aorta and the right auricle of the heart...
...latter year Dr. Paul Dudley White, already enjoying an international reputation as a cardiologist, reported on 200 coronary patients he had seen in his practice, emphasizing that many were still alive five to ten years following their first attack. In 1941 Dr. White, in conjunction with Dr. E.F. Bland, completed his study of these patients. Because treatment has hardly changed at all since then, these figures are still used in estimating the outlook after the first attack...
