DR 3-4305 DECATUR
morial Hospital where he had
cancer surgery, the lean surg
eon demonstrated some more
medical. sophistication. Begin
ning at holster level he walked
the fingers of his right hand up
the wall.
The arm he was exercising
was affected by the surgery.
Time and plenty of hairbrush
therapy would mend it.
Underneath the fresh, white
shirt he wore was an ugly hole
in his chest that you could put
a fist into. He limped a little,
from the raw areas of his leg
where neat strips of skin had
been lifted to graft over his
chest wound.
“Some people think it’s a
gimmick to make money,” he
said, grinning, as he dressed
for a press conference.
It was the same old Dooley,
scarred up a bit, but only bodi
ly.
“Where there used to be a
chest bone, I have knees,” he
quipped.
The dapper young doctor,
who has been making strong
medicine for democracy in the
jungles of the tiny kingdom of
Laos, seemed calm in the face
of the deadly illness doctors
call “black cancer.”
“Be sure and get the name
right. It’s malignant melanoma.
It’s been reported as sarcoma.
But that is impossible.”
He said 50 per cent of persons
with his type of cancer live a
year, the other 50 per cent over
a year. How much over he did
n’t say.
Tom Dooley seemed glad to
be back in the City of the An
gels.
“We’ve been getting 400 to
500 letters a day since I’ve been
sick.” Forty per cent of them
he said, were from the Califor
nia area.
Dr. Dooley said nothing of
pain or of the uncertain future.
But this he did say as he walk
ed to the press conference:
“God has been good to me.
He has given me the most hid
eous, painful cancer at an ex
tremely young age.
“It’s a gift. He wants me to
use it. Thousands of people
know me. They follow me in
what I do.
“Now I have cancer, That’s
not important. It’s how I react
to cancer. These people will see
how I react.
“Thousands of women who
have tiny cancers think they
can’t do the dishes, can’t have
children, can’t go on. As a doc
tor I know this.
“Maybe they will say, ‘Well,
Tom Dooley is going back to the
stinking jungle. Maybe I can
do the dishes.’
“That is my new gift.”
Asked his plans, Dr. Dooley
said he was returning to Laos
and his hospital in Muong Sing
around December 1. And mean-,
while: “I have to give i 48
speeches in 37 cities in the next
six \yeeks.”
The 32-year-old surgeon said
that from the lecture tour, “I
can take care of 72,000 people,
including a thousand major sur
gical procedures.”
Dr. Dooley gave a brief re
port on MEDICO, the private
medical program he originated
to bring the mercy of medicine
to backward areas the world
over.
Besides his hospital in Laos,
there are similar medical teams
in Cambodia, Pakistan and
Kenya. Two other units, one to
Afghanistan, are preparing to
take the field.
MEDICO is also helping to
support Dr. Albert Schweitzer
in Africa, Dr. Gordon Sea-
graves in Burma, an eye surgi
cal team in India and surgical
teams in Jordan and Vietnam.
“All of this in the last 18
months from people sending me
nickles and dimes — $300,000,
all in small money.”
Dr. Dooley said MEDICO has
no foundation grants, no gov
ernment grants. Little people,
the medical profession and
pharmeceutical houses have
been its backers.
He told of those who help
make his work a going thing:
school children, young people’s
clubs, working men and wo
men the world over.
A school for blind children in
Bangkok, he said, sends him $7
a month.
“Over $16,000 came to help
pay my hospital bill. They said,
‘Here, this is for your hospital
bill.’ ”
But there was no hospital bill
for Dr., Tom Dooley. In fact, he
pays few bills. A large com
pany picks up the tab for his
air travel. On a lecture tour
it runs high. Hotels ask only
that he pay the tax.
“No one ever charges me for
anything. As a consequence, we
use all the money we receive
for MEDICO.
“I’m the only guy in the
whole world who can live six
months in a row without spend
ing a nickle. I’m a very lucky
guy.”
Cancer or no cancer, Dr. Doo
ley is anxious to return to Laos
and his “30 mat” hospital, his
two Texas corpsmen and 17
Lao medical trainees who have
learned to walk like his Texans.
There he will resume jungle
sick call for 100 Lao tribesmen
a day, people who know no
other doctor but Dooley.
“In no way is my hospital
air-conditioned or chrome-
plated. It’s a primitive hospit
al.”
The jungle physician invited
friends here to see his Muong
Sing hospital. He and his hos
pital were shown by John Da
ley over television station
KABC. The show is called, ap
propriately, “The Splendid
American.”
Said Dr. Dooley of John Da
ley and his film:
“He paid us a lovely chunk
of money that will run the hos
pital a year.”
Dooley told of how some of
the people, observing the surgi
cal lights used when he ope
rates, believe the light shining
into the wound has some cura
tive value.
So when the film crew
brought in its powerful light
ing, they could hardly shoot
footage because of the tribes
men coming up to put a sore
elbow or cut in front of the
lights.
During the press conference a
reporter offered the young sur
geon a cigarette. Replied Doo
ley, “No thanks, afraid of get
ting cancer.”
The jungle medicine man is
grateful for all prayers —
throughout the country and the
world — for his recovery and
for his work.
He told of a prayer crusade
in New York while he was un
dergoing surgery. A novena of
Masses were begun the day be
fore he had his operation.
On the ninth day, Dr. Dooley
hobbled out of the hospital,
hunched up and walking on a
cane, to attend Mass at St. Pat
rick’s cathedral unaware of the
concluding novena.
As he moved quietly and
slowly down the aisle, a group
of women taking part in the
novena spotted him. He said he
could see their mouths forming
words as if to say “a miracle.”
But no one said it..
Asked what has sustained
him throughout his trial and
what would sustain him now,
he replied simply:
“It’s what has always kept
me going — the luck of the
Irish, the grace of God and a
little sweat.”
