John Stiger, DO,John Stiger, DO,John Stiger, DO,John Stiger, DO, has been continuing his efforts to collect the wonderful stories of the history of the osteopathic

profession in Oregon. You can assist in this endeavor by submitting your story online at www.opso.org, or email

[email protected]. In his most recent interview, Dr. Stiger speaks with John Aaronson, DO.

One of the enjoyable aspects of this history project has been getting acquainted with and listening to the stories

of the DOs who practiced outside the city of Portland in the state of Oregon. I recently had the pleasure of inter-

viewing John Aaronson, DO John Aaronson, DOJohn Aaronson, DOJohn Aaronson, DO and his wife Carol at their lovely home in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Dr. Aaronson is a

lively ninety year old, still practicing OMT once a week at nearby Canyonville and every other week in Central

Point, Oregon. This is his story.

John was born into an osteopathic family in California. His father, a Kirksville graduate, worked until he was 84

then shortly thereafter passed away. John entered the University of California but flunked out and was drafted

into the US Navy. He became a corpsman, and was shipped to Hawaii where he was scheduled to enter the war

at Guam. Because he was quite proficient with paperwork he became a clerk instead and stayed in Hawaii while

his unit shipped for Guam where most of the men he trained with lost their lives.

He was then approached and asked if he would like to become a doctor, and after he spent the night deliberat-

ing, he embarked on his new career. He was sent to Gonzaga University to complete his premed and while there,

his skill as a trumpeter allowed him to form a band that was so good, they had a weekly radio broadcast playing

dance music. Premed completed, he was accepted at the Medical College of Virginia to be trained as an

MD. About that time WW II was over and as soon as he could, he transferred to Kirksville and graduated in 1949.

On July 30, over 1,500 attendees, including Governor John Kitzhaber, MD, assembled in

Lebanon, OR to celebrate the opening of Oregons newest medical school, COMP-

Northwest and recognize the 107 new osteopathic medical students at the Convocation

and White Coat Ceremony. Philip Pumerantz, PhD, LHD (Hon.) president of WesternU

presided over the Convocation and praised the work of many stakeholders, including the

states osteopathic community, the people of Lebanon and the mid-Willamette Valley,

who have embraced the school and Made us feel a part of the family from the moment

we broke ground.

He interned at Burbank Osteopathic

Hospital, where he began his career

as an anesthesiologist. Apparently,

his trainers got him started adminis-

tering anesthesia and once he be-

came proficient they would leave

the hospital turning the responsibili-

ties over to intern Aaronson! Addi-

tionally he had all of the usual re-

sponsibilities of a DO intern in those

days which included everything or

anything that might happen in the

hospital while the intern was on du-

ty.

After completing his internship he

decided to settle in Milwaukie, Ore-

gon and for a brief time he prac-ticed there until he injured his back

while constructing his own clinic

building. He needed surgery so he

returned to Burbank and had the

required procedure. While recover-

ing, he was contacted by a Dr. Falk

Sr. who had a practice and hospital

in Canyonville, Oregon. Upon arriv-

ing in Canyonville, Dr. Falk informed

him that he would be in charge for

the next month. In that month he

delivered babies, set bones, and

attended to injured loggers. He

even had to perform an emergency

appendectomy; something he had

seen performed but had never

done. (One hears the old adage

see one, do one, teach one men-

tioned in the process of training

young doctors but until now I always

thought it was some kind of legend.)

If that were not enough he didnt

have an anesthesiologist present so

one of the OR nurses gave the an-

esthetic under Dr. Aaronsons su-

pervision the patient lived! He

served in Canyonville from 1952 to

1967. In addition to his duties of

house anesthesiologist for the sur-

geon Dr. Falk, he enjoyed OB and

delivered an estimated 2,000 ba-

bies, all while seeing an average of

60 patients a day! Additionally he

served on the school board, was

team physician for the local high

school football team, and active inthe Oregon Osteopathic Association

including a term as the Association

president.

Following Canyonville, Dr. Aaronson

and his second wife Carol moved

back to Los Angeles, where he prac-

ticed anesthesiology almost exclu-

sively. When time permitted he also

continued his work as a GP and of

course, continued to play his trum-

pet. Not long after their daughter

was born he witnessed an alterca-

tion on one of LAs freeways which

convinced him to leave LA at once.

That night coincidently, he received

a call from Max Flowers, DO in Cen-

tral Point who asked if he would be

interested in a position in Central

Point at the local Crater General

Hospital. It didnt take the family

long to move to Central Point. Dr.

Aaronson worked as a GP and anes-

thesiologist there until 1994.

To enhance his skills he often took

courses in various subjects: a ma-

nipulation course in Arizona, a car-

diology course with emphasis on

interpretation of EKGs in Chicago,

etc. He also invited prospective

medical students to shadow him

while he saw his patients.

In 1994 he decided to retire and he

and his wife built their dream home

in the little town of Myrtle

Creek. He unretired shortly there-

after and practiced with a nursepractitioner providing OMT skills

and GP work besides. After 6 years

of this he slowed down to his pre-

sent pace.

When asked what was the most re-

warding part of his career as an

Osteopathic Physician he stated

that the satisfaction of being able to

help nearly all of his patients in one

way or another. OMT often provid-

ed instant results that were very

much appreciated. His biggest dis-

appointment was when he had to

stop his general medical practice. If

he could he would still be working

full time. His advice to young doc-

tors Go for it. Learn OMT well, it

can be a very rewarding and unique

service you can offer your patients!

Ceremony, and in a special presentation, awarded Karen Nichols, DOKaren Nichols, DOKaren Nichols, DOKaren Nichols, DO, im-

mediate past president of the AOA with an honorary degree from WesternU.

Dr. Nichols delivered the White Coat Ceremony Keynote Address. Dr. Nich-

ols spoke about the importance of caring for patients and how the relation-

ships that students will develop with their peers and others throughout their

career will be the most meaningful. Dr. Nichols welcomed the students to

the osteopathic professions stating, You are dedicating yourself to this

new and wonderful profession. We are here to dedicate your 107 minds,

your 107 pairs of hands to this huge task ahead of you, adding, The most

important thing were going to do today is to dedicate 107 hearts.

As the students introduced themselves to the audience, members of the osteopathic

community presented each student with their white coat, signifying the commence-

ment of their medical training. COMP-Northwest Executive Associate Dean PaulaPaulaPaulaPaula

Crone, DOCrone, DOCrone, DOCrone, DO led the presentation of the students and provided encouraging words for

the historic inaugural class. Grow and mature into the physician that you are to be-

come, she said. I applaud you for taking on this lifes work.

Upon presentation of the white coats, Oregon Senator Alan Bates, DOAlan Bates, DOAlan Bates, DOAlan Bates, DO, led studentsthrough the Pledge of Commitment. Following the presentation, several osteopathic

physicians, organizations and advocates for the profession who were instrumental in

the development of COMP-Northwest, were honored with the Founders Medal.

As the Convocation keynote speaker, Governor Kitzhaber reflected

on his entry into the medical field and into politics. The Governor

revealed that upon first entering into the political arena, though he

practiced medicine, he had no interest in healthcare policy. Howev-

er, in 1985, when 4,300 people were dropped from the Medicaid

program as what was described as just an accounting exercise, as

an emergency room physician, Dr. Kitzhaber saw the real life effects

of this change. He talked about the influx of patients into the ERwho lost insurance coverage and he saw for the first time the wide-

spread effects of changes in health care policy. These werent the

faceless numbers that were discussed in a committee, but 4,300

individuals, each with a unique story and need to access the

healthcare system.

Addressing the students, Governor Kitzhaber explained, It will take the next generation of physicians to move

health care reform forward, away from a system of sick care to one that values prevention and the promotion of

health. He further explained how it is the responsibility of all new physicians to be leaders in the change and to-

gether, they can change the face of healthcare. Quoting Bobby Kennedy he explained, Few will have the great-

ness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. Pictures and more infor-

mation from the event can be found at www.westernu.edu

Tribute to Stanley Schiowitz by Greg Esmer, DO

Stanley Schiowitz, D.O.Stanley Schiowitz, D.O.Stanley Schiowitz, D.O.Stanley Schiowitz, D.O. passed away at the age of 88 on June 27, 2011. I first met

Dr. Schiowitz several years ago when we invited him out to Portland to lead a CME

conference for the NWAO and OPSO. In his distinctly Brooklyn way with the English

language, he confessed that hed never been to Oregon and that anything outside

of Yonkers was west of the civilized world. A gifted storyteller, Dr. Schiowitz spoke of

his family doc and boyhood idol whod helped him get into medical school. Two

years into his training, he learned that his hero was a DO and that he himself was

studying in a DO school. Upon learning this, his response was, Whats a DO? He

had assumed that all physicians incorporated Osteopathic Principles into their care.

Ironically, Dr. Schiowitz went on to become a pioneer in the Osteopathic profession.

The originator of Facilitated Positional Release, he taught his Osteopathic Manual

Medicine approach to countless physicians throughout the country. A founder of

the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and the first Chair of the Depart-

ment of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, he later became Dean of the college

in 1992. Dr. Schiowitz received numerous awards, including the Distinguished Ser-

vice Certificate, the highest award granted by the American Osteopathic Association.

As we invited Dr. Schiowitz back time and again, I came to know Stanley as a joyful spirit eager to share what he

knew with a wink and a wry grin, hoping to be of some service to his fellow Osteopathic Physicians. Dr. Schiowitz

kept his instructions simple without becoming simplistic. Find it, fix it, and get the hell out of there, he would

say. Over and above his skillful instruction in Osteopathic Manual Treatment, Dr. Schiowitz revealed some of the

Osteopathic history that hed lived through. He recounted the story of the eminent DOs of his day disagreeing over

the draft Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology, ultimately many disagreements over principle remained unre-

solved. Nonetheless this glossary has gone on to become a primary source for testing in medical school and

board certification. Dr. Schiowitz underscored that while Osteopathic Medicine offers different visions for restor-

ing health to our patients, there has never been uniform agreement on how best to bring this about. To study theOsteopathic Manual Medicine that Dr. Schiowitz revealed was not simply to memorize the Osteopathic Canon, but

to continue to invent our profession anew, while learning from those who came before. It is this wisdom that I

found to be of particular comfort and this legacy that I hope to carry forward. A true inspiration and mentor, Stan-

ley Schiowitz will be deeply missed.

After his wife of 59 years passed away, Dr. Schiowitz helped fund a lecture series concerning Jewish Women in

her name. Donations can be made to Temple Israel for the Lilian Schiowitz Fund, (108 Old Mill Rd, Great Neck,

NY 11023) or to a charity of your choice.

Wayne Centrone, N.D. with a young patient.

In the heart of the Atacama, the driest desert on earth

(averaging less than 2 inches of rainfall a year), lies the

town of Ica, Peru. On the night of Aug 15, 2007, shortly

before midnight, Ica and the surrounding region was

devastated by an 8.0 earthquake, leaving 519 people dead,

58,581 houses and 14 hospitals destroyed, according to

Peruvian Government assessment.

Nearly four years later, on July 9 th, 2011, shortly before

midnight, the 25 members of Team Peru 2011, gathered at

the Lima airport, climbed aboard a highway bus, and

headed south on the Pan American Highway for the 6-

hour trip to Ica. Our destination was Scripture UnionsCasa Girasoles, a home for abused, abandoned and

orphaned boys, built in 2008, which would serve as our

base of operation for the week.

Team Peru 2011 was a project of Health Bridges

International and was organized by Wayne Centrone,

N.D., Executive Director. The team included 5

physicians, 3 medical students, several nurses, and other

volunteers essential to the success of our mission. In Ica,

our team grew with 15 Peruvian volunteers including an

optometrist, 3 dentists, a physician, and a medical student,plus 3 Peace Corp volunteers. Our intention was to

provide medical outreach and hope to families still living

in tents and temporary structures amidst the piles of

rubble still present 4 years after the earthquake.

TEAM PERU 2011

The earthquake caused the roof and walls to

collapse during a midnight mass, killing nearly150people.

Part of our clinic is under the awning. Open til' dark.

More than 150 families call this area home.

The first day in Ica was spent recovering from

a day and night of travel, acclimating to our

surroundings, and organizing the more than 25

large bags and suitcases of clothes, supplies,

equipment donated by Fred Meyers Stores,

and medicines, including $7500 worth of

medicines and supplies in the Ready Relief

Box provided by the American Osteopathic

Foundation and Heart to Heart International.

For the next four and a half days we functioned

like a M.A.S.H unit, providing non-stop patient

care at a new location each day. As a result of

one weeks activity, Team Peru 2011 recorded

902 general and pediatric medical visits, 221

dental visits (extractions, fillings, cleanings,

etc.), more than 700 eye exams and 160

patients in need of cataract surgery were

identified, more than 750 toothbrushes weredispensed as part of Health Education talks on:

Nutrition, Healthy Pregnancies, Dental Care,

Tooth Brushing, HIV/AIDS prevention, Hand

Washing which were available for everyone.

Four classes of Neonatal Resuscitation were

provided to Ministry of Health clinics and staff

with over 70 attendees (physicians, nurses,

midwives, etc.), and a 3 hour Introduction to

Osteopathic Principles and Practice workshop

was provided to nearly 50 physical therapy

students training at Alas Peruanas University in

Ica, and eyeglasses are being prepared for 22

formerly homeless boys living at Casa

Over the years, I have participated in numerous

medical outreach projects in third world countries. I

do it to remind myself why I went into medicine.

Nothing quite compares to the expression of the joy,

relief, and gratitude, when a laborer, no longer in

pain, grabs you in a spontaneous bear hug; or the

85-year old woman, who gets off the treatment table

giggling and does a little dance to express her joy.

I have encouraged the medical and pre-medical

students that I mentor to participate in outreach

projects like this, but, I always caution them to be

prepared to have their heart broken and their life

changed forever. I believe the hardened heart

leads to an insensitive and uncaring physician, while

a broken heart can expand, leading to a more

sensitive and caring physician. I believe the students

lives will be changed by experiencing first hand, the

desperate condition in which the rest of the world

lives and seeing the difference they can make as an

osteopathic physician.

Eager first time volunteer, Cody Talbot, is a Clinical

Intern at Osteopathic Advantage in Portland Oregon.

He took a year off after college to learn the business,

language, and culture of medicine, and to prepare

for osteopathic medical school. This trip was a

graduation gift from his parents. In Peru, he learned

about caring and service and how he can make adifference by just showing up. His life is changing.

Martin Peters, a veteran Team Peru volunteer, is a

third year osteopathic medical student at ATSU/

SOMA doing an OMM rotation at Osteopathic

Advantage. He has had his heart broken before. On

this trip, Martin said a little girl, who worked all day

in the market helping her parents eke out a living,

asked him "What do children do in your country?"

He told her that they go to school and they play. She

questioned further ifchildren worked like she did.He didnt want to tell her that children in the U.S.

spend their days playing video games, watching

television and talking on cell phones. He didnt

know how to respond to her question. Finally, and

again, with a broken heart, Martin told her that

children are allowed to be . . . children.
