Have you ever wondered about the answers to timeless questions about the Department of Anesthesiology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center?  Questions like:

1.  How did Marion T. Jenkins come to be called "Pepper"?

2.  Who played the role of Pepper Jenkins in the emergency room scene in the movie JFK?

3.  How did the Department gain it's World Class reputation?

4.  How many academic departmental chairmen served as residents or faculty in anesthesiology at UT Southwestern?

These questions and many more can be answered by reading Anesthesiology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas: The First Fifty Years by Dr. Adolph "Buddy" Giesecke.   Plus, you can enjoy over 130 pictures of life at Parkland and Southwestern through those fifty years.  Sixty percent of the book deals with the life and career of Pepper Jenkins.  Chapters on the history of the use of balanced salt solutions in surgical patients, and information on the assassination of JFK are included.  The remaining chapters describe the activities of the department under the chairmanship of Giesecke (1981-1992), Paul White (1992-1993), Ed "ERJ" Johnson (1993-1994) and Dennis Landers (1995-2001).  The history stops in 1998 because Pepper founded the department in 1948 and the first fifty years ended in 1998.  The final chapter entitled "The Jenkins Society" is a listing of all honorable former residents and faculty, and a few disreputable ones.  Dr. Giesecke has personally signed all copies.  Order your copy now; just print the Book order form, fill it out and return with payment.
