SUMMARY:Surgical Transgressions?  Michael DeBakey\, Denton Cooley\, and the Controversial Artificial Heart Case of 1969
DESCRIPTION:Shelley McKellar\, Ph.D.\, Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine\, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry\, Western University\, London\, Ontario \nDuring the 1960s\, American cardiac surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley each performed more successful heart operations than almost any other surgeon in the world.  Thousands of heart patients made their pilgrimage to Houston\, Texas in hopes of benefitting from the surgical skill of DeBakey or Cooley. \nIn 1969\, Cooley implanted an experimental total artificial heart in heart failure patient Haskell Karp as a bridge to transplantation.  As a clinical first\, this artificial heart operation stirred tremendous controversy within the medical community and incited a well-publicized feud between DeBakey and Cooley over an accusation of device theft and debatable authorization.  The allegation raised significant issues of innovation credit and institutional reputations.  Who can claim ownership and does this confer license to decide when ‘the time is right’ to perform an experimental procedure on a human?  Was it not premature of Cooley to implant this device in a patient?  Focusing on this case\, Shelley McKellar\, Professor of the History of Medicine at Western University in London\, Ontario\, highlights medical disputes\, treatment disappointments\, the role of the media\, and its reverberating effects on the development of artificial hearts thereafter.\nLocation: Conference Room 103-A\, Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library\, Hammer Health Sciences Building\, 701 West 168th St. at Fort Washington Ave.\, New York\, NY \nRefreshments\, 5:30\, Lecture\, 6pm.
