[HSF] Satinsky

[prasannasimha]

This is the data I got about Satinsky.

   1. Dr. Victor P. Satinsky, C'34, Philadelphia, a cardiovascular
      surgeon at the old Hahnemann Hospital who helped develop
      coronary-bypass surgery; September 7. He is also credited with 30
      major medical innovations and the invention of the Satinsky clamp,
      now a standard instrument in cardiovascular surgery. He joined
      Hahnemann (now part of the Allegheny health system) in 1946 to do
      thoracic-surgical research, and from 1961 till his retirement in
      1977 he was the research director of its cardiovascular institute.
      Dr. Satinsky liked to refer to himself on promotional materials as
      'the Renaissance Doctor', as he was also a poet, a playwright
      (some of his plays were produced in London), a painter, a
      clarinetist, and a fencer; he was known at Hahnemann for
      practicing his swordsmanship in the halls and classrooms of the
      hospital. And at the age of 80, he earned a black belt in aikido,
      and subsequently taught it. Although he had no religious training,
      during the Second World War he once filled in as a rabbi on a
      troopship going to Europe when he learned it had chaplains, but no
      rabbi. He also had taught himself psychiatry and while at
      Hahnemann developed educational programs for young people; the
      first, for gifted high-school students, began in 1961. He later
      added programs for disadvantaged youth, for young people with
      emotional problems, and one for college dropouts. On retiring, he
      set up the Satinsky Institute for Human Resource Development to
      continue this work, which he ran until his death at 84 years.
   2.  Dr. Victor P. Satinsky (inventor of the Satinsky clamp used in
      cardiac surgery, among many other things) used to say about his
      tough training programs, "If you don't like it, don't come." MIS
      personnel and executives who are unqualified or uncomfortable with
      the rigor required in such demanding clinical environments should
      find positions elsewhere, in simpler settings, rather than engage
      in politics that obstructs technology used to improve patient care.

      Babel Fish - so it will be enjoyably inaccurate but gets the data
      across !!!

*Victor Paul satinskya - Doctor Of the revival*

Transfer: O.I. Of blinnikov 
<http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=ru_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.medico.ru%2fcgi-bin%2fmedatlas%2fuserpage.pl%3fpid%3d3>

 Although surgical obshchestvenost' and television audience knows Victor 
satinskiy as the inventor of clamp (Satinsky clamp), utilized in the 
vascular surgery, his family and numerous students, on whom it had an 
effect, they knew it as the extraordinarily gifted person, who had an 
effect on our fates by the most different means.
Victor Paul satinskya (Victor Paul Satinsky), or the "uncle of vetches" 
-- so we him called in our family, it were borne in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania, in 1912. Its parents were David satinskya and Anna partsel 
Satinski (Anna Purcell Satinsky). David immigrated from Russia and was 
joined to his parents, who were already here. It was the independent 
owner in the family, where the majority of her members were butchers, 
packed money into the cinematography and textile. Both, David and Anna, 
died, when vetch there were 6 years, both aunts and uncles shared 
responsibility on further training and support of their nephews and 
nieces. My grand-dad and grandmother took under the guardianships by 
Vicat and his 2 brothers. Another brother even 2 sisters lived by a 
number, after the adjacent door together with another uncle and the 
aunt. In all there were 19 Satinskikh under these two roofs -- 
sufficiently for two baseball commands and infinite mischievousness.
My father also of vetches they were yearlings and as all other children, 
was considered itself twins Satinskimi. They called themselves Victor 
aleks and Aleks Victor in order to tangle its teachers. Inquisitiveness 
and creation of Vicat appeared from the early age. He indicated that 
when it took away into the clouds, my father was that gyroscope, which 
made possible for it to land. In 15 years of vetches it already appeared 
itself as adolescent with the tendency toward the poetry. The amorous 
poems, dedicated to their class-mate, forced her parents to interfere 
and even to transfer their daughter into another class. Tendency toward 
the poetry remained in Vicat considerably longer than the teenage period 
and became his passion during entire life. During the day of its 83- 
anniversary, it is exact in yr to death from lymphoma, it wrote the 
following:

"Limericks for Eighty-Three":

I am a man who just turned eighty-three
and one who loves life so desparately
For a birthday gift
and a real uplift
I'.d like a re- runes of my history.
Ah, life, some people will say
Is a prison in every which way
Thought not guilty of crime
I'.ll do double time
For I Love Every Single Day!
Its nice to have reached eighty-three
With a life full of joie de vivre
And I Own That I'.m Greedy
and remarkably needy
Of stretching chronology.
Today I'.m Eighty-three
Not a very nice place to be
For I Say In all Truth
I prefer my old youth
But I Can'.t Fight Chronology.
At least I reached eighty-three
And I'.m Glad That Was Meant To Be
But I'.d Put Up A purse
For the digits ' reverse
and thus place old age behind Me.

  Vicat's life was rich and saturated, since it glorifies it in its 
verses. In 19 years it fell on the strips of the local newspaper, when 
opposition with the envious rival cost it knife injury. It entered 
into the university of Pennsylvania in 1930 without the clear ideas 
about its future career. Its uncle Jules (Uncle Jules), doctor, 
convinced him of the fact that the medical profession will be stable 
occupation and not will so suffer from the economic injuries, so of the 
shaken the country in the years depressions. Vetches were obtained the 
degree of the baccalaureate of the university of Pennsylvania in 1934 
and the medical degree Jefferson Medical College in 1938. The general 
internal studies department (general internship) it passed in Mt. Sinai 
Hospital (later than Southern Division of Albert Einstein Medical 
Center) since its interest in the surgery bloomed, it began to work 
house surgeon together with Harry Koster, MD at crown Heights Hospital 
in brooklyn, NY. later it with the appreciation noted that the fact that 
in its instruction Harry Koster emphasized the importance of surgical 
simplicity and effectiveness.
After work to New York it returned into Mt. Sinai for continuing the 
surgical instruction. During 2-1 world war of vetches it served in the 
army and appeared itself both in the battlefield and beyond its limits. 
Being Lieutenant 34th General Hospital Division, that was being rested 
in England, it was pomoshnikom Lieutenant Colonel William B Schaefer in 
the surgery. Soon after D -Day (debarkation of allies), Schaefer, after 
opening the chest of the ranennogo soldier, revealed splinter in its 
heart and it was ready to leave it there, when it interfered vetches. 
With the support to Vicat the senior officer successfully removed 
splinter. Vicat's interest thus was conceived in the cardiovascular 
surgery. Vicat's sincerity appeared also during his work on warship. It 
revealed that aboard the ship there are protestanskiy and Catholic 
kapelany, but not there was rabbi. Vetches raised this question itself 
began to conduct services. Many years later, during the services 
according to the departed members of family, we could be convinced of 
the tunefulness of its voice and the witticism.
After demobilization in Vicat was two possibilities: to be joined to the 
surgical departments in University of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann 
Hospitals in philadelphia. Vdokhnovlennyy by its friend, by cardiologist 
William Likoff, he selected Hahnemann in order to work together with 
Charles Philamore Bailey, as leader by breast surgery in this institute. 
Because of support Dr. Bailey of surgical innovations in the breast 
surgery, vetches it found beneficial mail for the discoveries and the 
experiments. Between 1946 and 1954 it directed all its clinical efforts 
to cardiac surgery.
It not long worked in California and then it returned to Philadelphia in 
order to become director for the studies in Hahnemann'.s cardiovascular 
institute c 1961 on 1977. In this time to its merits can be attributed 
30 significant medical innovations, including new operations and 
improvement of those existing technician. One of the interferences, 
which it helped to develop via experiments was coronary shunting. Famous 
clamp Of satinskogo now conventional tool in the vascular surgery. 
Although the majority of the khardiokhirurgicheskikh work of Vicat were 
made in Philadelphia, it so left its track, also, on West coast. For the 
duration of the 5- summer period of its work by director Cardiovascular 
Research at temple Hospital in Los To anzhelese, it closely was friends 
with actor Walter Matthau and was supported acquaintance with Hank 
Greenberg, with player into baseball. In our family archives the letters 
from both friends of Vicat are stored.
Among the numerous enthusiasm and the interests of Vicat there were 
drawing, the game on the clarinet, rolling on the scooters. He wrote not 
only verses, but also plays, which were played in London. At the age of 
80 years it deserved black belt into aykido and trained others for this 
fight. Vetches he frequently indicated that, although it became an 
orphan in the early years, it was brought up with the thought about the 
fact that it must pay back to society, that it made for the elongation 
with its length of career up to the withdrawal to leisure.
Human capabilities for creation struck it. It and itself was unusually 
creative nature, and it brought up creation in others. Being the 
practicing surgeon, it independently studied psychiatry and then there 
was associate dean and director in Hahnemann'.s institute for human 
resource development. This tyuey intstitut were included 40 programs for 
different groups -- for those, who left college, gifted students, who be 
late, children and adolescents with the psychological problems. After 
withdrawal with respect to the age from Hahnemann into 1977, he formed 
Satinsky Institute for Human Resource Development, particular academic 
school litsenzirovannuyu Pennsylvania Board of Education and intended 
for the gifted, but not managing adolescents. Under the management by 
Vicat the students passed the treatment, directed toward the removal of 
the emotional blocks, which impede instruction and stimulating to the 
independent occupations.
Many graduates of this institute, after becoming successful 
professionals, store appreciation vetch for the spark of success, 
zazhennuyu in them. So, as our large family it influenced Vicat's life, 
so and it influenced our fates and fates of many its students. Many 
members of the family Of satinskikh work in the region of public health. 
And all we have the salient example of man with many talents and 
infinite energy, capable of realizing them. The councils of Vicat, 
inverted to us and students, always reflected his unique optimism. For 
it not there was such concept as error. It related to the failure as to 
the position and it frequently resembled to us that everything in the 
life is experiment. /(To him there was no such thing as a mistake. He 
regarded failure as an attitude and often reminded us that everything in 
life is an experiment)./
