Professionalism: An Unanticipated Journey

I
n February of this year, an International Charter on Professionalism was published
simultaneously in The Lancet and The Annals of Internal Medicine. This was the result of
the work of an international committee established by the American Board of Internal
Medicine and its Foundation and
the European Society of Internal
Medicine. Sylvia and I served as
special consultants to the committee, with our task being to ensure that the content of the Charter was consistent with the literature on professionalism.
We also assisted in drafting the final document. The editor of The Square Knot has asked
me that we briefly discuss the Charter and the events in our lives which lead up to our
involvement in the creation of the International Charter.
Professionalism:
An Unanticipated Journey
When Sylvia and I stepped down from our respective administrative jobs in 1995 (when we
were both 65), we embarked upon a sabbatic
year at the Institute for Advanced Study at
Princeton and at Oxford University. Because of
her experiences, Sylvia felt that many of our excellent and well-meaning colleagues did not
fully understand what it meant to be a professional and we consequently decided to study
professionalism in medicine. We discovered an
enormous and rich literature on the subject
which began in the early twentieth century and
Drs.Richard & Sylvia (ruess
continued to the present time. This literature existed almost entirely in the social sciences and in
philosophy, with some contribution from ethics. There was no cross-over literature at the
time and consequently the medical profession itself was largely unaware of its ex~

Dear Editor,
I have switched jobs. I work for a new
tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. I am
the Chief of Surgery and the Deputy CMO.
It is a very challenging job to start a new
hospital. I can see a lot of the difficulties
you folks are going through with the
MUHC new center.
Not all our programs are functioning yet, but
they are coming
slowly on line. We
are actively recruiting in every specialty,
and if any are interested, please e-mail
me. Please note my new address and
e-mail, so I remain in touch and receive
The Square Knot.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to enquire ifThe Square Knot
maintains a list of addresses of former
residents. Specifically, I am trying to locate Lynn Whelchel. Would appreciate it
if you do have his address.
My transition from McGill to Southern Alberta has been an interesting one, and I
am enjoying my practice here. Hope this
finds you well and in good spirits. Kind
regards,
Bernie CosteI/o,M.D.
Editor's Note: Yes,we do keep a list of
Alumni and Dr.Welchel's address was sent
to Dr. Costello.
Dear Editor,
I wanted to write for several reasons. First,
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy and
look forward to receiving the Sqare Knot
each quarter. It is clearly a labor of love
and serves to keep me constantly reminded of my great years in Montreal. The
second reason is to let you know about a
major life change for me and my family. I
have closed my plastic surgery practice
here in Sacramento to pursue a longstanding dream. We are moving to New
Zealand to start a big new adventure. I
will be a consultant plastic surgeon in
Christchurch and also have extensive
teaching responsibilities in the teaching
and residency program there. My new duties will commence on May 1st.
We are looking forward to our new life
and also the birth of my second child (a
girl!) which will happen in August. If you,
or any of my friends there find yourself
"way down under'; please let us know.

Dear Editor,
I wish to share a recent lighthearted story
with your readers.
Our residents in the research lab have been
doing not too badly collecting various prizes
(attached file). A few days ago, Derek MacDonald, an R3 in our residency program and
spending a lab year with me, was invited to
participate in the "McGill Graduate Biomedical Conference" to present a paper and
compete for a prize with other graduate
students and post-docs from biomedical
departments throughout McGill, from Cell
Biology, Genetics, Pharmacology, Physiology, Medicine, etc. Derek gave his 1a
minute talk, couldn't understand and got
bored of presentations by others, so he
walked out to have a hair cut. When they
announced he was the winner, he wasn't
there. But he sayshe is happy to accept the
$1,000 prize. I was also rather pleased that
a surgical resident from our Department
could beat doctoral students in basic sciences in presenting researchwork.

Dr. Catherine Milne and "The Patient Care" committee at the
RVHobtained approval so that nurses could be delegated certain medical acts and this led to the qualification of Critical
Care Nurses.
(GILL AND CRITICAL CARE
Do you remember as an intern in the 1960's going out on
Emergency calls with Royal or Murray Hill ambulances? Well,
"you have come a long way" since that time. McGill has been
at the forefront in Emergency, Trauma and
Critical Care since then.
Editorial
Just witness the pioneering work of the late Dr. Fraser Gurd
of the MGH on shock or the estqblishment of the first Canadian SICU at the RVH on 8-West Surgery by Dr. Lloyd D.
Maclean with Doctors John Duff and Peter Mclean working therein. Dr. Rea Brown started the ATLScourses at the
MGH and Dr. David Mulder was invited to give the Scudder
Lecture on Trauma for the American College of Surgeons in
1988 after setting up a Levell Trauma Center at the MGH. Previously, Dr. H.F. Moseley had set up an Accident Service at
the RVHand its Surgeons were giving courses to the Montreal
Police who staffed the ambulances.
McGill set up the first Postgraduate Training Program in Emergency Medicine in Canada (second in North America) which
became recognized by the Royal College. The first qualified
physician, Dr. Judy levitan, graduated in 1970. A second
graduate, Dr. Bruce Rowat, went on to head the Emergency
Department at the Toronto General
Hospital. The third year residency
(R-II bis) for extra training in Emergency Care for Family Physicians
was also begun at McGill.
We had a role to play in the founding of The University Association
for Emergency Medical Services and
The Society for Critical Care Medicine, the latter with the Anesthetist, Dr. Peter Safar, inventor
of the Safar tube. Our staff also
paved the way in the paramedical
field. There were developments
such as Intensive Care Modular
Ambulances and we had a role to
play in the establishment of the
Emergency Medical System (911)
in Montreal. The RVH trained Certified Ambulance Attendants in the
1970's and this led to paramedics
(EMTs) in the ambulances.
Recently, following the Bernier Report, the Quebec College of
Physicians, the Office des Professicns and the Ministry of
Health have announced plans to allow doctors more latitude
in delegating duties to nurse practitioners, auxiliary nurses,
pharmacists, ambulance paramedics, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and radiology technicians.
A government bill tabled on May 1st by Justice Minister Paul
Begin (who has jurisdiction over professional orders) and
Health Minister Fran~ois Legault, redefines the roles of
120,000 health workers in 11 professions (this includes doctors). Ambulance technicians, for example, will be able to
administer 5 medications: Salbutamol, Epinephrine,
Glucagon, ASA and Nitroglycerine.
This welcome new
"power" for paramedics is a far cry from when both ambulance attendants just sat up front in hearse-like transport
ambulances, and raced through red lights with siren blaring
on the way to the hospital.
McGill can be proud of its record in the field of Emergency
Primary Care.•

left Montreal several years ago as well Dr. Henry Korman
and Dr. Robert Levine have retired. We sadly note the passing of Dr. Bobby Rothstein and Dr.Allan Spanier since our
last report.
ince our last newsy letter in 1996, there have
been many changes in the JGH Department of Surgery. Our
physical teaching offices and clinics remain in the "A" pavilion
and we continually upgrade with up-to-date equipment. Over
the years the surgical staff has
changed considerably. The Division of General Surgery has
expanded with the recruitment of two new general surgeons, Dr. Anna Derossis and Dr. Gabriella Ghitulescu.
Both McGill grads have joined our group augmenting our
thrust in advanced laparascopic surgery, breast surgery and
surgical teaching. We wish them both the best for a long association with our hospital and McGill University. We have established a full-time surgical teaching office with secretariat
and a wonderful Surgical Education Resource room on the
fifth floor for residents and students.
News From The JGH
Dept. of Surgery
Richard Margolese continues to actively supervise the Oncology Service and is involved clinically with the breast cancer clinic that has been established at the JGH. Our part-time
staff includes Ben Mitmaker, Roger Fenster, Jeff Rivilis,
Arthur Freedman, Harry Glick, Issie Weissglas and Issie
Shanfield. Our full-time general surgical group is headed by
Harvey Sigman and includes Jacob Garzon as well as our
two new recruits. Colorectal Surgery has been significantly
strengthened by the recruitment of Julio Faria. Julio is a surgeon/scientist who has great potential to add to the academic lustre of this strong, busy and productive group headed
by Phil Gordon. Barry Stein and Carol Ann Vasilevsky
round out the group at the JGH and both have made significant contributions to the undergraduate and resident teaching programs at McGill. We also note that Dr. Steve Karp has
The Vascular Surgery group includes Daniel Obrand and
Nate Sheiner and we have added a third full-time recruit Dr.
Cherrie Abraham. We are delighted to welcome him to our
institution and McGill University. Our emphasis in Vascular
Surgery continues to be endovascular surgery.
The Plastic Surgery Division is active in head and neck reconstruction and breast reconstruction as well as a busy general
plastic service including a busy emergency room. We are active~y recruiting junior staff to compliment Tassos Dionisopoulos. We note with regret the passing of Dr. Maynard
Shapiro this past year.
Cardiac Surgery has expanded significantly. We have three
full-time cardiac surgeons, including McGill grad Felix Ma and
recent recruit Jean-Francois Morin joining Yves Langlois.
Cardiac Surgery is a priority service in our hospital. We have
recruited Christian Sirois to join Nate Sheiner in our Thoracic Surgical Division in collaboration with the division at the
MGH. This busy McGill service is re-organizing and we look
forward to progress in recruitment.
Ms. Judy Pollack remains as the executive assistant to the
Chief of Surgery. She looks after the departmental affairs with
good humour and wise counsel. The current departmental
Chief, Martin Black has fulfilled his mandate and at this time
there is a search for a Chief of Surgery at the JGH.
The Department remains committed to excellent teaching, the
best clinical care and a serious commitment to engage in ongoing clinical research.•

Dear Editor,
Thanks for continuing to send The Square Knot. My year as the
first postgraduate Vascular Fellow from 1987-88 at the RoyalVic
stands out as one of the most rewarding experiences and professionally advancing periods of my life. I especially remember
Drs.Jim Symes,Alan Graham, Normand Poirier,Nick Christou and
named Oren Steinmetz, M.D. who was my intern. Congratulations Oren!
I enjoyed private practice in Santa Monica, California after
leaving naval duty in 1991. I was recalled last year and was
proud to have been Battle Group Surgeon for USS Enterprise
in October in the Arabian Sea when Operation Enduring Freedom began. I am Chief of Vascular Surgery here at Naval Medical Center San Diego. I miss you all as well as the beautiful
city of Montreal. •

It appears at the Surgical Forum that research productivity is
declining. In fact, it is increasing as subspecialties in Surgery
create their own societies and our scientific productivity is
spread to many different Journals and presented at a wide variety of meetings. New knowledge and its creation is the
lifeblood of a Department. We are cooking with gas.•

LVADare totally implantable, and powered via a percutaneous
driveline. The Thoratec VADis paracorporeal, with the blood
pump positioned externally on the abdominal wall, and the
inflow and outflow cannulas entering the mediastinum percutaneously. The Berlin Heart VAD,recently acquired in order
to bridge a 2-year old child at the Montreal Children's Hospital site, is implanted in a similar fashion. Both these latter
blood pumps can be adapted for uni- or bi-ventricular support. In addition, we are the first and currently the only Canadian program to enrol patients in the INTrEPID destination
LVADclinical trial, having successfully implanted two Novacor
systems for long-term use, as alternatives to transplant. We
have also developed a VADtechnical training program based
on a swine model, through which several Canadian centers
have been recently trained. In an effort to offer this technology to non-transplant cardiac centers, our future plans include the development of a hub-and-spoke network, whereby
patients in peripheral hospitals in need of mechanical cardiac
assist could be stabilized locally with the use of devices specifically designed for short-term use, then transferred to our institution for weaning, or bridging to transplant. We also have
commitments to participate in several upcoming clinical trials
to test innovative new blood pumps.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Mechanical cardiac assist technology will continue to evolve
towards permanent cardiac replacement. Improvements in
biocompatibility and in device-to-patient matching will lead
to more widespread application of this form of therapy and in
tandem with more conventional treatment plans, will form
the basis for a broader armamentarium in the management
of end-stage heart failure .•

The Department of Surgery and Division of Vascular Surgery
saysfarewell to Dr. Ronald Lewis as he moves on to the University of Ottawa this summer. Ron has had a long history at
McGill University in the Department of Surgery. Ron originally
came from the West Indies to
Montreal back in 1960's where he
started his surgical residency training in 1968 at the Montreal General Hospital. After completing his surgical training in 1972 and a short stay back at
home, he returned to Montreal in 1974 and came on staff at
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Department of Surgery, and 1987 he
became Surgeon-in-Chief at the
Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Ron Lewis:
McGill to Ottawa
geons and vascular lab technicians from
three separate hospitals were integrated
at one site (Royal Victoria Hospital) and
molded into a cohesive group working
within the MUHC. He strengthened the
ties between the vascular surgeons at
the MUHC and the Jewish General Hospital and we now work closely together
with respect to clinical activities, the
Dr.Ron Lewis
vascular fellowship, and academic endeavors. Within the division, we will all
miss his steady leadership and depth of
experience. After his move, he will be particularly missed by
the large population of patients to who he is unfailingly dedicated. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and
we will be keeping in touch .•
After the closure of the Queen
Elizabeth Hospital, he came over
to the MUHC - Royal Victoria
Hospital Site as the first chief of
the newly formed Division of Vascular Surgery. Ron has guided us
through our first five years as a
Division of the Department of
Surgery at McGill. Under his competent leadership, vascular sur-

~ SAMPALlS, John, S.
FRSQ Chercheur-boursier "Senior; Clinique et Epidemiologie
TITLE: Evaluation of Trauma Care Services in Canada
DATE: July 7, 2002 - June 30, 2006
DESCRIPTION: The research that I will be pursuing during the
next five years will be a natural continuation and an expansion of the work that I have completed and initiated during
the last five to ten years. This work focuses on the evaluation
of trauma care services with a secondary focus on Surgical
Epidemiology.
During the next five years, my research will advance in the following directions: First, from a geographical scope the research will now evaluate trauma care services in Canada as a
whole and will establish the basis for international projects.
The following studies are included in this: 1. Evaluation of
the association between the degree of trauma care regionalization/integration and mortality and morbidity in patients
with major trauma. 2. Evaluation of the impact of trauma
hospital designation and characteristics on the mortality and
morbidity of patients with major trauma. 3. Evaluation of the
association between trauma patient triage and transport policies on mortality and morbidity of patients with major
trauma. 4. Evaluation of the association between the type of
pre-hospital trauma care and mortality and morbidity.
Second, from a content point of view, my research will evolve
with respect to outcomes assessed by studies that will evaluate the impact of trauma care on functional status, and quality of life. In addition, a series of studies will develop models
for health economic evaluation of trauma care.The population
studied will expand from the general urban population to specific sub populations including rural, geriatric and pediatric
patients. These are groups that have unique trauma Epidemiology and specific needs for trauma care. In collaboration with
surgical residents who are also my graduate students, I will
pursue the following studies that will address specific clinical
issues: 1. Evaluation of risk factors for hospital acquired pneumonia in trauma patients. 2. Assessment of risk profile for
thrombo-embolic events in trauma patients, and 3. Evaluation
of diagnostic assessment of the spine in trauma patients.
From a trauma care point of view, my research will expand in
the development of trauma patient triage algorithms and a
more focused comparison of paramedics, physicians and
emergency medical technicians in the pre-hospital management of trauma patients.
Third, from an implementation and dissemination point of
view, my research will evolve by introducing a National Canadian Internet Network for the exchange of information and
the implementation of trauma care evaluation that will be
based on common standards and methodologies. In addition,
through two program grants, I will participate in the development of a critical mass of trauma researchers in Canada as
well as in the training of new clinical and health service researchers.
In Surgical Epidemiology, my research will focus on advancing
my previous work on surgical waiting times. In addition, I will
continue my work on the evaluation of diagnostic methods
for breast cancer and outcome assessment for plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Funding for my research over the next 2-4 years has been received from the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation, one program grant and two operating grants from the
Fonds de la recherche en sante du Quebec (FRSQ).Applications
for funding of ongoing and related projects will be submitted
to the same agencies over the next 3-5 years.

DATE: July 7, 2002 - June 30, 2006
DESCRIPTION: My current research activity focuses on two
main areas. The first one is the Management of Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Cerebral Protection during Pediatric Cardiac Surgery. This research project basically brings our bedside
cardiopulmonary bypass protocols and studies them in a controlled bench-side experimental condition. As the outcome of
complex cardiac surgery is improving in the pediatric population, the neurological morbidity has become a prominent issue. This research is aimed at improving the quality of life and
social dependence of many of our patients following repair of
cardiac malformations. We have received our first peerreviewed Award, the Jonathan Bailon Award, from the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Quebec in 2000. With this Award,
we have been able to continue our work which I have started
since I was in Boston and thus far, we have presented our work
at the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the American College of
Surgeons and the American Heart Association. As a busy clinical surgeon, the Award from the FRSQundoubtedly provides
me with some protective time to continue my interest as an
academic surgeon. Hopefully, it will continue to help my lab
to achieve our goals.

changes and microstructure implications to clinical
fracture healing. The general goal is to provide a more complete understanding of the bone at the fracture and nonunion
site. Microtopography and surface chemistry of the fracture
site both contribute to the physiological processes of fracture
healing. The relative contribution of these and other parameters is poorly understood. Clarification of these parameters
could have a huge effect on orthopaedic trauma care through
modification of treatment, implant design, implant type and
adjuvant therapy. Fracture modeling will be carried out to better understand fracture mechanics, fixation modalities and delineate treatment options at a fracture site (ultrasound
stimulation, distraction osteogenesis, synthetic graft and others) by developing a long bone model capable of reproducing
assorted fracture patterns. With the use of the fracture model,
the microtopographical structure of different fracture types
will be determined. This knowledge with cell culture data is
to determine which fracture types need more aggressive therapy such as operative treatment.
We should be able to determine which fractures need adjuvant therapy such as bone grafting or immobilization. We will
then examine coated and textured surfaces currently in common usage to supply some of the information needed to fine
tune management of fracture surfaces. Expense of bio-engineered morphogenic proteins and ingrowth lattices increases
the overall cost of grafts. Optimal dosage of microtopography
and surface chemistry has yet to be determined and the relative contribution at the level of the nonunion has not been
delineated. If this was evident the initial treatment of fractures can be changed to decrease the incidence of nonunions.
Cell culture studies will be carried out to evaluate the effects
of different surface topographies and materials on bone formation in vitro.
This project will have a direct impact on orthopedic trauma
care and could reduce the overall costs (hospital stay, reduced
surgery, and reduced loss of productive years) to the medical
system. Through cooperation with industry (surface analysis,
donated implants) there is an opportunity for direct technology transfer (manufacture of implants, design of implants).
This information could have a huge effect on orthopaedic
trauma care through modification of treatment, implant design, implant type and adjuvant therapy.

TITLE: Un modele in vitro de xenotransplantation
Ie role des eel/ules endotheliales
d'ilot:
DATE: July 1,2007 - June 30, 2004
DESCRIPTION: Xeno-transplantation
is seen as a solution to
the growing disparity between the lengthening waiting lists
for transplants
and the availability of donor organs.
Xenogenic islet transplantation may have two advantages
over the problems that have been encountered with whole organ xenotransplantation.
(1) Primarily vascularized
xenografts, including whole pancreas, are destroyed first by
hyperacute rejection (HAR), which is not yet preventable by
treatments sustainable in clinical use. HAR is a vascular phenomenon resulting from the fixation of complement by
xenoreactive natural antibodies (XNAs) that bind to carbohydrate determinants on cells of the graft; particularly its vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Cellular xenografts, such as
pancreatic islets, are vascularized by the ingrowth of host vessels and are therefore not susceptible to XNA-mediated endothelial damage.
The principle target for HAR is the
Gala(1-3)Gal epitope whose expression is diminished on islet
cells and, therefore, appear not to generate as severe an HAR.
(2) Islets offer the opportunity for in vitro pretransplant modification. Islet endocrine cells have a low inherent immunogenicity; therefore careful choice of isolation techniques can
exclude those cells that are important for the initiation of a
rejection response such as macrophages, dendritic cells and
endothelial cells. In vitro culture of islets also offers the opportunity for transfection of genes that can modify the rejection process.

DATE: July 7,2007 - June 30, 2004
DESCRIPTION: Impaired healing and hypertrophic scarring are
major medical problems with no satisfactory treatments. The
efficacy of topically administered transforming growth factor-b
(TGF-b) to promote wound healing is well documented in animal models. However, clinical results in humans have been
discouraging, possibly due to the inappropriate timing of administration or the unavailability of the delivered factor. An
alternative would be to manipulate the action of endogenous
TGF-b locally using regulatory molecules. Thus, my

We are well aware that as a surgical specialty we cannot work in a void. Our clinical success relies heavily on every
link in the managing chain of our patients. We require a specialized and dedicated medical team, nursing team and auxiliary team to manage our challenging cases. That chain starts
from our secretaries that manage our time and mans the
phones trying to sort out which patients need to be seen urgently or not and our long waiting list; to the nurses in our outpatient department educating our patients for their up-coming
surgery; to the internist, cardiologist and anesthesiologist that
ensure that our patients are medically fit to undergo major
surgery; to the orderlies that help us position our patients in often challenging positioning on the operating room; to our dedicated ORstaff that need to be knowledgeable on the ever more
complex spinal instrumentation; to our intensivist and to our
nurses on the ward who care for our patients post-operatively;
and finally to our physical therapist that rehabilitates our patients to normal activity.
Each of the MUHC facilities has
been upgraded and renovated and continue to be modified - so
that we can provide the best care
we can under the circumstances.
None of our original buildings, renovated spaces or additions
were designed to accommodate this immense volume of traffic.
When the Vic opened its doors in 1893, its total floor space
was 180,000 square feet, and there were 14 medical staff to
treat the 1,500 in-patients and 4,800 out-patients, who came
there that year. Today, the MUHCfacilities take up 3.4 million
square feet; we have 11,000 people on staff and our patients
open the doors of our facilities nearly 1 million times every
year. More than 900,000 of these patients walk in and out
again the same day.
And none of them were built to support the large and heavy
equipment that's needed for surgery and diagnosis and
treatment.
Let me put this in perspective - we've gone from a 1 to 3 ratio of in-patients to out-patients to a 1 to 30 ratio. Three thousand people, many of them needing high-tech specialized
treatment, come into our hospitals and go home the same day.
Every day - 365 days a year.
Editor's Note:
Philip O'Brien, board member of the McGill University Health
The MUHC Move:
A Perspective
Without their help, our group would not exist.
Well in brief, that is what the McGill Orthopedic Spine Group
is all about. We are striving toward providing cutting edge
spinal surgery to patients in the greater Montreal area and
across North America. Our next project is to expand our field
and to include artificial disc replacements. Two members of
our group are soon going to Europe to acquire expertise on
this technique .•
None of them were designed to manage the patient flow
needs of our hospital today.
In any other working environment what we are asking our
people and facilities to do is unacceptable. And the question
is not whether we can afford to build this new hospital, but
whether we can afford not to.
-
Philip O'Brien
Centre Development Corporation and Chairman and CEOof Devencore, speaking to a room full of people at a breakfast organized by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal
entitled Healthy Opportunities for Montreal .•

Visiting Professor
OR. WILLIAM SASSER
APRIL 78,2002
CHARLES MARTIN AMPHITHEATRE - MCINTYRE BUILDING
This year, Kappy Flanders instigated an awareness program
for lung cancer patients to coincide with the Flanders Visiting
Professor. The Visiting Professor was Dr. William Sasser who
is currently Chief ofThoracic Surgery at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri. He discussed The Current Application of PETScanning in the Management of Lung Cancer.
The program, Community Forum: Treating Lung Cancer
in the 21" Century [Up in Smoke: Exploding the Myths of
Lung Cancer], for the education or increased awareness in
lung cancer for the community at large was sponsored by
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Aventis. Speakers included Dr.
D. Mulder (Chief, Cardiothoracic Surgery MUHC), Dr. J. Gruber (Pulmonary Oncologist MUHC), Dr. L. Ofiara (Medical
Oncology), Dr. L. Souhami (Radiation Oncology), and Dr. W.
Sasser (Visiting Professor) who gave the medical perspective. Mrs. Doreen Jones (Living with Lung Cancer) and Mrs.
Kappy Flanders (Affected by Lung Cancer) gave the patient
perspective.
The goal of this Community Forum was to highlight the many
options for treating lung cancer and by so doing, dispel some
of the many myths surrounding lung cancer.

Dr. Alain Carpentier, Professor of Cardiovascular Surgery
from the University of Paris, was this year's Stikeman Visiting
Professor for the Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic
Surgery at McGill University.
At Surgical Grand Rounds at the MGH on Thursday morning,
Dr.Carpentier gave a very well received talk entitled What Remains To Be Discovered. Following Rounds, laboratory and
clinical presentations were given by residents, staff and
alumni. During the luncheon, Dr.Carpentier had the opportunity to meet with residents and staff .
A banquet was held Thursday evening in honour of the Visiting Professor and the graduating resident, Dr. Stephen
Korkola, at the University Club.
On Friday morning, clinical presentations by alumni, faculty
and residents took place at the RVH followed by a luncheon.
It was a pleasure to welcome Dr.Carpentier, a world renowned
cardiac surgeon and teacher, as the 35th Stikeman Visiting Professor along with many of our Quebec French colleagues who
attended the two-day events .•
