I just read about the death of Dr. G Tom Shires. I never had the pleasure of meeting him however he has touched the lives of numerous surgeons like myself who have read his work and in consequence may have passed on the benefit of this knowledge to their patients. A life such as his is never ended, he lives on in his legacy.

There are some that would say that Dr. Shires will be in "the books" as this century's Bilroth.  I would agree.

We have lost a living legend, but we have been fortunate to have had him as a teacher, mentor and friend for this many years.

My deepest sympathies to his family.

It is with deep sadness that I share with you the death of a giant of a  
surgical leader, Dr. G. Tom Shires.   He died in Las Vegas of  complications of a 
fierce cancer two days ago.   

Dr. Shires made countless sentinel contributions to the surgical  literature, 
surgical research, surgical leadership, surgical education, and  organized 
surgery.   

He was one of the youngest surgical chairs ever, doing fantastic work in  
fluid and electrolytes and burn care.   He assembled one of the very  finest 
surgical faculty ever while he was at Parkland in  Dallas.    His Dr. Malcolm 
Perry was the first vascular fellow  ever.     He flew from Galveston to Dallas at 
the time of  the Kennedy Assassination.    He operated on Lee Harvey  Oswald. 
    He went to Seattle where he was chairman at the  University of 
Washington, and later went to NYC where he established a fantastic  surgery program.   
Later he moved to Lubbock Texas as Chair of the  Texas Tech Department of 
Surgery, and still later went to the University of  Nevada Department of Surgery 
where he established a fantastic research  program.   He was president of 
numerous surgical professional  organizations.     

He was a fantastic surgeon, researcher, teacher, and friend.   

Kenneth L. Mattox, MD

A true loss from the prehospital and EMSC arena's as well as the surgical 
world.  My knowing Dr. Shires was limited by time, but his humility, humanity, 
and friendship made this simple country Paramedic know he was being taught by 
a true "Healer" and a new friend.

Rest now in peace and the hope we carry your torch.

  I am pretty sure as soon as Dr. Mattox sees this, I will be immediately blacklisted as far as my chances of getting into medical school in Houston.

        I in no way claim this, as I found it on an internet site for paramedics, but thought it was rather humorous albeit a little shortsighted.  See attached.

My God People, 
Nobody even checked with Medicare/Mediaid insurance.
Quick, send the patient back!
