J Am Med Assoc, Feb 1941; 116: 793: Correspondence: DR. GEORGE GOODFELLOW OF TOMBSTONE. Jan. 28, 1941. To the Editor:—In the Student Section, January 25, page 352, is a paragraph about Dr. George Goodfellow of Tombstone, Ariz. I would like to add to that. In 1889-1891, while he was practicing at Tombstone, I was a contract surgeon at Bisbee, 28 miles away. During that time we not infrequently operated together, and I went to Tombstone a number of times to assist him in operations. I can testify to the fact that he was a rapid and a skilful surgeon, many times doing major operations alone. I am certain that he did the first operation for the removal of a prostate, which operation was done in Tucson, and my recollection was confirmed last fall in a conversation I had with Dr. Jeremiah Metzger of Tucson. I remember one case of his in which he removed a spleen because of a gunshot wound, which operation he did entirely alone; undoubtedly the patient would have lived had he been able to see the patient a little sooner but the patient had to ride 8 miles and was white from loss of blood. I feel that one cannot say too much for him as a great surgeon. Thomas Darlington, M.D., New York.
