...Operating Room D of Manhattan's New York Hospital, Surgeon-in-Chief Frank Glenn held a razor-sharp scalpel over the patient's chest and asked, "How is she?" Replied Chief Anesthesiologist Joseph Francis Artusio Jr.: "She's fine." Then Artusio addressed the patient: "Edna, can you hear me talking to you now?" She opened her eyes. "Edna, look over this way." She turned her head toward the sound of Dr. Artusio's voice...
Without more ado, Surgeon Glenn cut into the chest of Edna, 37, a housewife who had had rheumatic fever at 18 and was now suffering from scarring and narrowing of the mitral valve in her heart. As the scalpel made swift but precise cuts and laid bare a rib, Dr. Artusio asked: "Can you nod your head?" Edna nodded. Dr. Glenn lifted a pair of shears and snipped out the rib. Then he cut deeper, through the layers of the heart sac, until the pulsing organ itself was laid bare. He plunged his gloved finger into it and wiggled...
...most operations it has been thought best to have the patient totally anesthetized and unconscious. But this can be dangerous for the "poor-risk" patient with a failing heart, because the circulation may collapse entirely. To get around this hazard, Drs.

He put in two years as an engineer for the Wilson meatpacking company, worked with the Government on war contracts, became a vice president for the Kroger Co. in 1942. Hired by Cincinnati's Trailmobile Co., in two years he doubled sales to $52 million and boosted...
Change of Pilots. Martin owes its comeback to George M. (for Maverick) Bunker, a 46-year-old troubleshooter who became president in 1952. Until then all decisions-big and small-were made by Glenn L. Martin, the company's founder, chairman and namesake. But when the company tried to raise new capital from investment bankers three years ago, it was told that the new management would have to come first. The bankers' choice was George Bunker, and his first step was to move Glenn Martin out of the pilot's seat...
