Will Camp Sealy, MD, Professor Emeritus of Surgery, Duke University 1984 and Mercer University 1992, was born in Roberta, Georgia, in 1912. A 1936 medical graduate of Emory University, he was in surgical residency training at Duke University from 1936 to 1942. During the next 4 years as an army surgeon in World War II, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and, in the European theater, made chief of surgery of the 121st General Hospital and later the 128th Evacuation Hospital. After the war, he rejoined the surgical faculty at Duke. In 1950, he became chairman of the division of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, where in the ensuing years he made a number of important initial observations and significant contributions. Among these were studies on the serious paradoxical hypertension that may follow repair of coarctation of the aorta, and on the combined use of hypothermia and perfusion for open heart surgical procedures. In more recent years, his initiation and landmark studies of the surgical treatment of certain cardiac arrythmias have gained him worldwide recognition and opened one of the last frontiers of cardiac surgery.
