Unfortunately, the issue is not so simple. As doctors pointed out at the Kansas City hearings, many cancer victims opt for Laetrile even when there is still a good chance that conventional therapy will help them, thus seriously jeopardizing their hopes for recovery. Philadelphia Surgeon Jonathan Rhoads Sr. was not alone when he testified that such cases "have happened in my own practice." The FDA has another fear. If Laetrile is legalized - without a scintilla of proof that it works - the door could be opened to a host of phony cures and bring a return to what one American Cancer...
Seven Bypasses. Mamiya is modest about his achievements, but others are vocal. One articulate testimonial to the surgeon's skill is Buck Buchwach, the Honolulu Advertiser's executive editor, whose case has drawn much attention to the advanced state of surgery in Hawaii. "Bucky" had had two heart attacks, the first at age 37, and a two-bypass graft at a famous U.S. mainland center. Results were unsatisfactory. Barely surviving a third attack a year ago, he was referred to Mamiya, who put in seven bypasses. At 56, Buchwach now works with "front page" drive and even feels...
...supposed to be her first routine medical checkup as First Lady, but Rosalynn Carter learned some unpleasant news at Bethesda Naval Hospital: she had a suspicious lump in her breast.

Undaunted, Campbell arrived at the hospital on the day of the operation carrying a tennis racquet. Instructing the surgeon to watch closely, he held the racquet in an Eastern forehand grip. "Lock the wrist just so," he ordered. Campbell's forehand, opponents complain, has never been more effective...
...remains a mystery as to how Mackenzie actually entered his field, but it is known that he developed an unerring eye for golf course topography while serving as surgeon to a British brigade during the Boer War. It seems that Mackenzie was astounded by the Boers' use of camouflage to consistently surprise the attacking British. Before building Augusta, he had founded in Hyde Park the first school to teach the art of camouflage, and provided a demonstration for King George...
