Description
  • Letter from Dr. George Stevenson thanking Dr. Eugene Stead for traveling to Redding for "purpose of aiding the paramedical technician endeavor." Dr. Stevenson is referring to a trial that involved his right as a neurosurgeon to use a military-trained surgical assistant (Roger Whittaker) in brain surgery. The assistant was charged with practicing medicine without a license. Dr. Stevenson includes letters from various physicians and lawyers expressing their support for the use of this type of personnel in clinical practice. Dr. Stevenson concludes his letter to Dr. Stead by saying "Mr. Roger Whittaker had continued to exhibit only the highest qualities of professional and moral interest and attitude toward the care of patients."
