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.” CURRAN NURSERY WEST ENT) HEADQUARTERS FOR QUALITY SHRUBS — TREES — SEED FERTILIZER 23B5 Sewell Rd.
