Description
Dr. Joseph George, Jr., was born, raised, and educated through high school in Sudlersville, Maryland. He describes his college career at the University of Pennsylvania and earning his MD degree at University of Maryland in Baltimore. There were only 15 students in his high school class and 114 in his medical class. After graduation and two years of country medical practice, Dr. George joined the Army in 1942 and became a flight surgeon. His duty assignments took him to Africa, England, and St. Petersburg, Florida, doing physical exams for pilots and flight crews and treating soldiers with mental problems. He was discharged in 1945 and headed for California, but describes his change of mind when the train arrived in Las Vegas for a brief stopover. Dr. George liked what he saw, a typical small western city, and decided to stay. He mentions the original hotels and hospitals and names many of the doctors he knew in the forties and fifties. He opened his family practice in an office on Fourth and Carson and later moved to a location on East Sahara. Over the next forty or so years he delivered more than 6,000 babies at various hospitals in Henderson and Las Vegas. Dr. George shares several anecdotes and stories, names a few notable Las Vegas patients, and comments on historical incidents that occurred here. He gives his opinions on changes he has seen in medical practice and the need for improved psychiatric care in the valley. He also talks about keeping in touch with former patients, high school classmates, and the members of his medical class at University of Baltimore.
