Product Description
Dr. Mavis Kelsey's career spanned some of the most astounding years in the development of medicine as a profession. One of the pioneers of multi-specialty clinics. Kelsey is a founder of the prominent Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston. His story is quintessentially the story of how medicine developed from a single-doctor, home-visit practice to the mega-business, high-tech system it now is, especially in urban areas. Mavis Kelsey's training included general medical education at the University of Texas in Galveston, internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York, work on staff at Scott and White in Temple, and a residency at Ire Mayo Clinic, where he was impressed by the benefits of the clinic organization. After serving in World War II, he returned to Rochester to join the staff and participate in the innovative studies then being done at the Mayo, becoming particularly involved with research on metabolic disorders and the use of radio iodine tracers in diagnosing them. As a specialist in endocrinology, Kelsey moved to Houston in 1949. With partners William D. Seybold and William V. Leary, he welcomed the challenge of serving the country's fastest growing urban population.
