Biographical Note

 

Eloesser (Leo D.) 1881-1976

 

            Thoracic surgeon and innovator in providing rural and wartime health care. b. San Francisco, 1881 to Arthur and Molly Heynemann Eloesser.  He graduated, with honors, a Bachelor of Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1900 and in 1907 received his M.D. summa cum laude from the University of Heidelberg. He worked as a Volunteer Assistant at the Surgical Clinic in Heidelberg in 1906, Assistant at the Cancer Institute in Heidelberg during 1906-07, a Volunteer Assistant at the Royal Surgical Clinic ib Kiel during 1908-09 and as a Volunteer Assistant at Augusta Hospital in Berlin during 1909.

 

            Returning to San Francisco in 1910, he worked as an Assistant in Surgery at the University of California. He then accepted a clinical internship at the San Francisco City and County Hospital and in 1912 was invited to join the faculty as an Instructor at the new Stanford School of Medicine.

 

            With the onset of World War I, he took a leave of absence from his academic appointment to work in Germany as Surgeon to Reserve Hospital Ettlingen and Reserve Hospitals III, IV, V Karlsruhe in 1915-16. After the entrance of the United States into the conflict in 1917, he returned to America where he served as a Major in the United States Army Medical Corps as Chief of Amputation and Orthopedic Services at Letterman Hospital in San Francisco during 1918-19.

 

            This was the first of numerous such leaves that richly supplemented a career that eventually culminated in his appointment as Chief of Service at the Stanford Division of San Francisco County Hospital in 1938.  Chief among these were involvements in Moscow ; where he established the first Russian Thoracic Surgery clinic in 1935-36 ; in Barcelona as the Head, Mobile Surgical Unit, Republican Spanish Army under the auspices of the West Coast Hospital Unit of the Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy during the Spanish Civil War 1937-38 ; in Argentina as part of a teacher exchange program between Stanford University and Buenos Aires University Hospital in 1943 ; and in Mexico during the same year to lecture and demonstrate new techniques in thoracic surgery.

 

            Among his contributions to the development of medical practice are numerous articles and techniques related to his primary specialties of pulmonary surgery, orthopedic surgery and bronchial disease.

 

            Eloesser retired in 1945 to work for the United Nations Rehabilitation and Relief Administration (UNRRA) and UNICEF in various capacities related to the development of rural health care in China until 1949. These included a term as director of the Bethune International Peace Hospital and Medical School in Hsi Ching (Yenan).

 

            His last years were spent in Tacamburo, Michoacan, Mexico until his death in 1976. He there continued his efforts to develop solutions to rural medical problems by using indigenous resources to combat the high incidence of tuberculosis and infant death, including support of teaching and surgical activities at the Pabellon de Cirugia of the Sanitario de Huipulco, al Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias and the establishment of a curriculum to train rural midwives.
