Dr. Paul Dudley White was the premier heart specialist of this century. He was recognized as an outstanding bedside doctor, a great teacher, and a widely respected investigator. By his optimism, his pioneer message encouraging physical activity, and his emphasis on avoiding unnecessary invalidism, he changed the outlook of thousands of patients with heart disease and changed it for the better. He was the heart specialist called to see President Eisenhower at the time of his heart attack, and by his frank and authoritative discussions with representatives of the media set a precedent for the handling of all future Presidential illnesses. Known around the world, he used his position as a noted scientist and humanitarian to foster international understanding and the quest for world peace.
From his early investigations, his leadership in the development of the cardiological specialty, his attention to the care of the individual patient, and his role in preventive cardiology, Paul White was the ‘Number One’ cardiologist of the twentieth centuryDr. Paul has ably recounted his accomplishments and given an engaging view of his remarkable personality. -- Howard B. Burchell, M.D.
I first discussed heart matters with Paul Dudley White in Leningrad when we were both representing the United States at a major cultural conference. Not long thereafter I had to call upon him to treat me when I had my own heart attack and I have always felt that it was his prudent guidance that helped me to recover. He was a remarkable man and the facts of his life deserve to be remembered. -- James A. Michener
