Narrative: What was your most memorable moment from medical school? Being permitted to place the cap and gown on my son Evan, in 1999, when he graduated from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. What highlights have you experienced since graduating in 1970? • Founding the American Society for Peripheral Nerve in 1990 (ASPN). It has been my privilege to develop, through research, new strategies to prevent and treat peripheral nerve problems and then witness, their implementation, clinically, to include: surgical techniques to decompress lower extremity nerves in order to prevent ulceration, amputation, and infection, in patients with diabetes, with proven application, also, to leprosy and chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. • Surgical techniques to denervate painful joints • Surgical techniques to treat pelvic pain of neural origin. Publication of textbooks: Evaluation of Sensibility & Re-education of Sensation in the Hand, 1981, Surgery of the Peripheral Nerve, with Susan E. Mackinnon, 1989 (translated into Chinese, 1991, and Japanese, 1992)
