It's nice to know this great Canadian physician is gradually getting the recognition he deserves. The American medical profession has a greater appreciation of him than we do in Canada. I suppose it's because he took the American medical teaching system out of the dark ages and began one of the finest teaching facilities in the US, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I bet if he were alive today, he'd be toting a Leica M6 on his grand rounds! :) It would be his kind of documenting instrument, as he was a stickler for recording information on patients and isn't that we do with our Leica's? Thanks for the note on the street as I'm starting a new project in spring 2000 photographing at the various locations where he was involved in Canada, the USA, Germany and the UK. As well as any other locations where his immediate influence changed the medical life of a nation. regards, ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
