AN ERUDITE GENTLEMAN MOVES ON
Dr. Joe Gannon Talbert was born in 1945 in Harriman, Tennessee,
but spent most of his life in Southeast Michigan. Joe attended the
Southfield High School, where he excelled in football and track prior
to his graduation in 1963. Fulfilling a long dream, he then matriculated at the University of Michigan, where he obtained his BS degree
in 1967 when he was admitted into the U of M School of Medicine,
from which he graduated in 1971. His stay at the U of M matured a
long love for the University, and he became a champion of anything
that had to do with the U of M, particularly their football triumphs.
Later, as a surgeon, Joe was available seven days a week except on
Saturdays during the U of M football season, when he would always
be in attendance at the home games and often in attendance at the
away games. The editor never failed to tease Joe whenever Notre
Dame beat U of M on the gridiron.
Following his medical school training, Dr. Talbert decided to do his general surgical
residency at the University of Wisconsin, where he did his surgical internship and first
year of his surgical residency. At the end of his first year of general surgery, he obeyed
the call from Uncle Sam and entered into the United States Air Force from 1973 through
1975, where he served with the rank of Major. Following his stint with the military, Joe
came back to his beloved University of Michigan, where he completed his general surgical
residency at the affiliated St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and then
went back to the University of Wisconsin to complete his cardiothoracic surgical residency from 1979-1981.
During his early surgical training, Joe had the good luck to meet Ms. Linda Syptak and
the good sense to invite her to be his lifetime partner. Joe and Linda were married for 43
years and had two children, Gerald Cannon and Caroline Laura.
Following the completion of his cardiothoracic training, Dr. Talbert became a lifelong
Southeast Michiganian. He joined the WSU clinical faculty in 1982, became part of the
Veterans Administration Hospital when it was still in Allen Park in 1983, and served for
many years as the WSU director of the cardiac surgical ICU and the Harper Hospital surgical ICU. He became a busy practicing surgeon both in the private community and in
the WSU/DMC complexes. Joe successfully completed all of his board certifications in
general and thoracic surgery and was a member of all of the local and regional surgical

societies. During his early academic years, he was productive in the scientific domain,
where he worked with Dr. Robert Wilson (WSUGS/TS 1963/65) and Dr. Agustin Arbulu
(WSUGS/TS 1961/65). Most of his publications dealt with thoracic aortic trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass for the treatment of hypothermia, and myocardial contusion. Dr.
Talbert left us on April 14, 2014, due to the complications of West Nile Virus meningitis
and encephalitis. He will be missed by Linda, Gerald, and Caroline, their many kinfolk,
and a huge number of friends and colleagues that respected Joe for his wonderful surgical skills and his great knowledge of the classics, history, art, and the history of political
intrigue. His friends will always remember him as one who had extraordinary knowledge
in many different areas but also one who would correct a colleague’s ignorance of history
in a very gentle and circumspect manner so that the ignorant colleague did not feel insulted. It seemed to many that one could never raise a topic about which Joe was not
quite familiar. Dr. Joe Gannon Talbert was truly a gentleman and a scholar. Messages
of condolence to the Talbert family can be delivered at ggtalbert@yahoo.com.

Greetings from a Radiologist Who Acts Like a Surgeon!
(Part II)
Dr. William Cox, the westernmost radiologist in North American, introduced to you in the June
Monthly Email Report, describes to you his visit to the personal physician of the Dalai Lama in 1992.
Dharamsala, India February 1992. Dr. Yeshi Dhonden and Dr. Tenzin Choedrak
The “Great Yeshi Dhonden” is how I’ve heard him described. A simple and humble maroon-robed monk,
he is the former personal physician to the Dalai Lama and the senior and most famous practitioner of traditional Tibetan medicine. He now runs a busy private clinic in Dharamsala, India—home to the Tibetan
government-in-exile and a large Tibetan refugee population. I would be spending the morning at his side,
observing.
Tibetan medicine is based on the Buddhist Medicine Tree and its associated Tantras. It is vastly complex, yet its basis is simple. There are three humours that permeate all sentient beings; bile, wind, and
phlegm. When they are in balance, we are healthy. Yet, the slightest imbalance may account for the tens
of thousands of diseases documented in the Tantras. The practitioner diagnoses the disease and prescribes the appropriate treatment to restore the balance, thereby restoring health. Tibet’s first medical
school was built in the 8th century, but Tibetan medicine was almost certainly long established by then.
The premier diagnostic tool is pulse diagnosis. Studied for a solid year, it is said to take 10 years to master. The middle three fingers are placed on the patient’s radial artery at the wrist. Each presses down
with a slightly different pressure. The inside and outside of each finger senses, or “reads,” a different organ system (a division into hollow and solid organs does not necessarily correspond to Western medicine’s understanding of anatomy). The combination of the humours is also read. There are hot and cold
illnesses, seasonal pulses…
Next, the urine is examined and smelled. It is whisked and the way it bubbles or froths is noted. Finally,
a prescription is written in Tibetan and the patient is sent to the pharmacy.
Dr. Dhonden saw dozens of patients that morning. There was very little doctor-patient discussion. It
was as if Dr. Dhonden already knew why they came to see him and what to look for. Pulse diagnosis and
urine examination seemed to be the mainstay, followed by more particular techniques that might be necessary. I watched him do facial acupuncture on a young monk.
Yeshi Dhonden has been to the big medical centers on the American East Coast and examined patients.
His diagnostic abilities stunned University hospital doctors! His descriptions, translated from Tibetan, left
his American medical colleagues no doubt they were talking about the same disease or underlying congenital anatomic defect.

Greetings from a Radiologist Who Acts Like a Surgeon!
(Story II)
Tibetan medicine is mostly herbal, and I followed the last patient
of the morning over to the pharmacy where it was prepared and
distributed. The raw materials were mostly gathered from the surrounding valleys and hillsides and assembled into the final product
in this building. A strong but wonderfully pleasant herbal scent
filled the air, like potpourri, and I wondered if it might be acting as
a health-enhancing tonic on the workers who inhaled it all day. In
one of Dr. Dhonden’s final exams as a student, he was taken into a
large tent near the medical institute in Tibet where he trained.
Long tables were filled with roots, leaves, and herbs of every kind.
Blindfolded, he identified every one correctly by taste, smell, and
touch!
William Cox, M.D., meets with His Holiness the Dalai
Lama in Dharamsala, India (February 1992)
Early the following afternoon, I showed up at the office/apartment of Dr. Tenzin Choedrak—the personal physician to his holiness, the Dalia Lama. This small, gentle man was imprisoned and brutally tortured
by the Chinese Communists in Tibet before he was able to make his way to India. His smile filled the room
with compassion as he took my hand in his, holding it and rubbing it gently until it reached the same temperature as his. His skin was the softest I ever felt.
A Nepali woman knelt beside us to translate, but I had no medical issues and said nothing. I just wanted
to experience having my pulse taken… and who better than the Dalai Lama’s personal physician to do it!
Dr. Choedrak pressed his three fingers against my radial artery.
After what seemed like several long minutes of concentration, he removed his hand, looked at me and,
through the translator, announced that I was suffering from constipation and maybe a mild gastritis. I
was stunned! While virtually every westerner travelling in India gets diarrhea on one or more occasions,
I’d been having the opposite problem. My bowels had been stopped up for several days, despite indulging
in street food, and I was beginning to get concerned. As for the gastritis, it was almost 2 p.m. and my
stomach was quietly rumbling with hunger. I went to the pharmacy of the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute and filled the prescription Dr. Choedrak gave me.
A final word to the wise: Don’t mix Tibetan medicine, Larium (a vicious anti-malarial known to cause
hair loss and exacerbate psychotic episodes) and strong, dark Indian rum! It caused me to miss rounds at
Delek Hospital the following morning!

Dear WSSS Alumni & Friends:
The time has arrived for me to provide a summary of the WSSS events from 2013 and also notice of events for the upcoming year. But first
I would like to say thank you. It has been my honor to have served over the past year, which I have to say has been successful. Membership
is good and finances have been steady. While these are good things and the balance is at or near “equilibrium,” we must be vigilant to encourage new membership at both the annual and lifetime levels.
The last annual meeting of the WSSS was held on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC in conjunction
with the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress. The Wayne State Department of Surgery Alumni Reception was very well attended and the WSSS Annual Dinner Meeting immediately followed it.
There was one newly elected board member announced at the dinner. Dr. Scott Davidson was elected to take over the Member-at-Large
position from Dr. Daniel Sullivan who completed his three-year term. I would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Sullivan for his service
and commitment the to WSSS. Your current Board of Directors includes Dr. Donald Weaver, Chairman of the Department; Dr. Mark Herman, President; Dr. Randy Smith, President-Elect; Dr. Christopher Dente, Secretary-Treasurer; Dr. Joseph Sferra, Member-at-Large; Dr.
Scott Davidson, Member-at-Large; and Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, Member-at-Large. Three of these members will be completing their terms of
office this year. Ballots are enclosed for the election of a new President-Elect, Secretary-Treasurer, and Member-at-Large.
The WSSS was honored to host William Schecter, M.D., F.A.C.S. as it Annual Lecturer. He is a trauma surgeon who has spent most of his
career at UCSF where he is considered a master surgeon. He has also devoted much of his time working to improve access to surgical care
for the poor and impoverished. The lecture was at Harper Hospital on Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Dr. Schecter gave a truly remarkable, introspective, and captivating talk entitled "Meditation on Mortality: Lessons from a Life in Surgery." It is available in print (J Trauma 2011 Feb;70(2):340-4) and is highly recommended reading for residents and seasoned surgeons alike. He followed his WSSS appearance with lectures at the Detroit Trauma Symposium on November 14-15, 2013 at the MGM Grand Casino as well as a dinner talk at the
Academy of Surgery of Detroit on Thursday, November 14. Detroit kept him very busy.
The WSSS and the Trauma Symposium continue to enjoy a close relationship. This past year 28 of our members attended the meeting
along with 16 of the current Wayne State surgery residents. A reminder that the registration fee is waived for our members. This continues
to be an outstanding venue for CME, networking, our simply catching up with colleagues. The dates for the 2014 Symposium are Thursday, November 6 and Friday, November 7.
Our next annual dinner meeting is expected to take place on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 in conjunction with ACS Clinical Congress in San
Francisco. Please watch for an update to confirm the meting location and time.
The WSSS Annual Lecture is expected to take place in November again at Harper Hospital. Details will be provided once a speaker is confirmed.
Lastly, the WSSS annual dues remain at $200 per year, which includes the reception/dinner at the American College of Surgeons meeting
and the registration fee for the Annual Trauma Symposium. Your dues also provide support for the annual lecturer, resident research, and
resident/student travel to the ACS. A dues increase has recently been considered in order to help fund the increasing cost of resident travel.
Thanks in large part to a generous donation directed for the residents from Dr. Jason Bodzin, this dues increase is not currently necessary.
Continued support of the WSSS by its members and the ability to grow its membership are critical to our long-term success. Dr. Lucas also
has a fund known as “An Operation a Year” which is an optional contribution (in addition to dues) that will help our chief residents attend
the ACS Meeting. Alternatively, you may sign up as a Charter/Life Member with a payment of $10,000 or a commitment of $1,000 per
year for ten years.
A reminder that all new surgical residency and fellowship graduates are offered WSSS membership upon graduation, and the dues are
waived for two years following completion of training. I would like to encourage those of you who are now beyond this two-year window
to retain your membership.
Finally, on behalf of the WSSS, I again want to thank Dr. Lucas for his hard work and dedication. If you happen to be missing his newsletters, please email him at clucas@med.wayne.edu to get on his mailing list or simply update your current whereabouts.
Warm regards,
Mark A. Herman, M.D., F.A.C.S

WAYNE STATE SURGICAL SOCIETY
The Wayne State Surgical Society (WSSS) was established during the tenure of Dr. Walt as the
chairman of the Department of Surgery. WSSS was designed to create closer contact between
the current faculty and residents with the former resident members in order to create a living
family of all of the WSU Department of Surgery. The WSSS also supports department activities.
Charter/Life Membership in the WSSS is attained by a donation of $1,000 per year for ten years
or $10,000 prior to ten years. Annual membership is attained by a donation of $200 per year.
WSSS supports a visiting lecturer each fall and co-sponsors the annual reception of the department at the annual meeting of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Lisa Flynn
(WSU/GS/VS1993/98/99) passed the baton of presidency to Dr. Mark A. Herman (WSU/GS
1994/2001) at the WSSS Gathering during the American College of Surgeons meeting in October 2012. Members of the WSSS are listed on the next page. Dr. Herman hopes that all former
residents will become lifetime members of the WSSS and participate in the annual sponsored
lectureship and the annual reunion at the American College of Surgeons meeting.

AN OPERATION A YEAR FOR WSU
January 1, 2014 through
December 31, 2014
The WSU department of Surgery has instituted a new group of alumni who are remembering their training by donating the proceeds of one operation a year to the department. Those who join this new effort will be recognized herein as annual contributors.
We hope that all of you will remember the department by donating one operation, regardless of difficulty or reimbursement, to the department to help train your replacements. Please send you donation to the Wayne State Surgical Society in care of Dr.
Charles E. Lucas at Detroit Receiving Hospital, 4201 St. Antoine Street (Room 2V), Detroit, MI, 48201.
