| This lectureship honors the American anesthesiologist Dr. Jean Emily Henley. Jean Henley was born on December 3, 1910 in Chicago, Illinois. She was the only child of Eugene Henry Heller from Hungary and Helen Esther Goodman from Germany who both immigrated to the United States where her father changed his name to Henley while she was still a child. She obtained her BA at Vassar and Barnard Colleges and went to Paris in the early 1930´s to study sculpture. In New York she studied medicine and graduated in 1940 at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. After completion of a residency in internal medicine she voluntarily joined the army in 1944. In 1947 she began her residency at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, which she completed two years later. Instead of becoming a faculty member at Columbia, she travelled to Switzerland and took up an invitation from Maria Daelen to come to Wiesbaden, Germany. Initially she wanted to visit Germany for just for a few days, (her visa was valid for only ten days) but eventually she stayed there for two years as a visiting physician in Gießen, Frankfurt, Marburg, Wiesbaden, Tübingen, Berlin, Heidenheim, Hamburg and Heidelberg. She used anesthesia machines from the US Army and developed her own machine. In 1950 she wrote the first modern anesthesia textbook published after World War II in Germany: Einführung in die Praxis der modernen Inhalations narkose, published by Gruyter Verlag, Berlin. It had 13 editions until 1991 with a circulation of more than 15,000. She introduced practices that are still in use today: For example she included on the back of the anesthesia chart an extensive and detailed checklist for both preoperative assessment and postoperative complications. Upon her return to the United States she became chair and associate professor at the Francis Delafield Hospital in New York till her retirement in 1972. In 1981 she became an honorary member of the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive care Medicine (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Anästhesiologie und Intensivmedizin, DGAI). She died on August 19, 1994 in Shelburne, Vermont. | |
