Surgeon scored 1962 breakthrough with world's first coronary
care unit
Doctor who had served on HMCS Prince Robert in wartime later
maintained a thriving practice and taught generations of medical
students at the University of Toronto, writes Sandra Martin
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
Back in the early 1960s, when prescribing blood thinners was
the standard treatment for acute heart attacks, Robert (Bob)
MacMILLAN and his colleague Kenneth (Ken)
BROWN were disturbed
by the 40 per cent mortality rate in their recovering patients
at the Toronto General Hospital. Some of these patients, who
seemed very well when the night nurse checked on them, were found
dead the following morning. The cause seemed obvious: a disturbance
in the rhythm of the heart's electrical system, or ventricular
fibrillation. But what triggered the fatal imbalance remained
a mystery.
In 1962, the two doctors established the world's first coronary
care unit at Toronto General Hospital. Within a year they had
reduced the mortality rate by 10 per cent. The significance of
the coronary unit was "huge," said cardiologist Douglas
WIGLE,
a former colleague and now professor emeritus at the department
of medicine at the University of Toronto.
"Bob was a superb teacher with a very dry wit who made a point
of being charming and friendly to students when it was more typical
in those days for doctors to be austere and professorial," said
hematologist Michael
BAKER, an intern under Doctor
MacMILLAN in
the mid-1960s and now physician-in-chief at university health
network.
"I learned the technical aspects of cardiology from him but,
far more important, looking back, I learned the human side of
being a prominent physician," said Doctor
BAKER. "He was pleasant,
he had a sense of humour, he had a life outside the hospital
and he was interested in us as people."
Robert Laidlaw
MacMILLAN was born into a medical family in Toronto
during the First World War. His father, Robert Johnson
MacMILLAN,
was an anesthetist at the Wellesley Hospital and his mother,
Merle (née
LAIDLAW,) was a nurse. The family, which included
Bob's younger brother Hugh (who also became a distinguished doctor)
and his sister Mary, lived first on Admiral Road and then on
Dunvegan in Forest Hill.
When Bob was about 13, his father decided to spend a year in
Europe to complete his medical training, which had been truncated
by the war. The three children were sent to the Lycée Jacquard
in Switzerland, where they learned to ski and to speak French.
When the
MacMILLANs returned to Toronto, the boys enrolled at
University of Toronto Schools, then a boys-only elite private
academic institution. They were both burly and very athletic
and were known as Big Beef and Little Beef. Bob graduated in
1934 and went that fall to Trinity College in the University
of Toronto, where he played college rugby and hockey, and earned
an honours degree in biological and medical sciences in 1938 and
a medical degree three years later.
Meanwhile, an 18-year-old Welsh woman named Eluned (Lyn)
CAREY-
EVANS,
had graduated from Roedean School near Brighton in Sussex, and
set off on a tour of Canada in August of 1939, having been assured
by her grandfather, the former British prime minister David Lloyd
GEORGE, that fears of war breaking out were grossly exaggerated.
She was in Sault Ste. Marie on September 3, 1939, when British
prime minister Neville Chamberlain declared war on Germany.
Stranded without money, connections, or winter clothes, Lyn was
rescued by Friends of her family who arranged for her to stay
at St. Hilda's, the women's residence at Trinity College. The
university allowed her to attend medical classes (based on her
English qualifications) and that is how, coming out of the library
with her arms loaded with borrowed books, she literally ran into
Bob MacMILLAN, the older brother of her classmate Hugh. After
he got down on his hands and knees to retrieve her books, he
invited her for a milkshake, and that was that. "He was so funny
always; he was such an interesting person," she said in a telephone
interview late last week.
They were married three years later on Valentine's Day, 1942,
at Trinity College, with no member of her family able to cross
the Atlantic to attend the ceremony. By then, he had enlisted
in the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve. They made their
first home in Victoria, British Columbia, which they both loved,
but she returned to Toronto when he was posted overseas as a
surgeon lieutenant commander on HMCS Prince Robert. The ship,
which had been designed as a coastal ferry for Canadian National's
Vancouver-to-Alaska run, was the vessel that had carried King
George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the round trip from Vancouver
to Victoria as part of a Royal tour in May, 1939. It was then
converted to an armed merchant cruiser for convoy duty and escorted
Canadian troops to Hong Kong in October of 1941 for the ill-fated
defence of the British crown colony against the Japanese.
By the time Lt.-Cmdr.
MacMILLAN climbed aboard, Prince Robert
was an anti-aircraft cruiser. It sailed for Plymouth via the
Panama Canal, picking up a huge bunch of green bananas on route
which Bob decided to present to his in-laws as a getting-acquainted
gift. Their first sight of him, as he emerged on the station
platform in North Wales in 1943, was of a tall, husky man with
a red beard bent under the weight of his bounty of ripe bananas
a fruit they hadn't seen in years. They were charmed, according
to Lyn MacMILLAN who recollected that her family "ate bananas
until they were blue in the face."
Lt.-Cmdr. MacMILLAN remained on Prince Robert for the duration
of the war, during which the ship had more conversions and sailed
more operational miles than any other in the Royal Canadian Navy.
For much of the conflict she was the navy's largest and most
heavily armed ship, and later had a final life as a luxury ocean
liner.
While her husband was overseas, Mrs.
MacMILLAN gave birth to
their first child, the historian Margaret
MacMILLAN, now warden
of St. Antony's College, Oxford. Four more children followed,
Ann, a London-based Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcaster
Tom, a financier; Robert, a urologist; and David, an energy consultant.
After he was demobilized at the end of the Pacific War, Doctor
MacMILLAN
was joined by his growing family where he did post-graduate studies
in London and Oxford and qualified as a Member of the Royal College
of Physicians in 1947. The next year, the
MacMILLANs moved back
across the Atlantic so he could take up a position at Toronto
General Hospital as senior intern in hematology. He became a
Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Canada) in 1948 and
began his long career as a cardiologist on staff at the Toronto
General Hospital, initially doing work on blood clotting and
platelets.
In the early 1960s, Doctor
MacMILLAN and his colleague Doctor K.W.
BROWN decided to isolate and observe cardiac patients closely
to see if they could determine the factors contributing to high
mortality rates in supposedly recovering patients. Federal and
provincial governments provided research grants; a private donor,
Percy Gardiner, contributed the start-up funds to hire extra
nurses to monitor the patients on a 24-hour basis especially
in the critical 48-hour period after admission, and the Toronto
General Hospital supplied a small room containing four beds separated
by curtains.
When the unit opened on March 12, 1962, four patients were attached
to improvised electro-cardiogram machines to record every beat
of their hearts. Nurses became expert at recognizing complications
and instituting life-saving procedures while waiting for doctors
to arrive. After a year, this team approach and quick interventions
to adjust or restart heart-beat rhythms had reduced the death
rate by 10 per cent. The two doctors described their study in
an article in the medical journal The Lancet on August 17, 1963,
which enabled them to claim credit for establishing the first
coronary intensive-care unit in the world.
Despite this medical breakthrough and the fact that Doctor
MacMILLAN
remained co-director of the coronary unit (which quickly expanded
to eight beds) for the next decade, his calling was not primarily
as a researcher. Above all, he was a practitioner and a professor,
establishing an extensive private practice and teaching generations
of medical students at the Toronto General Hospital and the University
of Toronto. From his first position as a clinical teacher and
an assistant physician in 1952, he rose steadily through the
medical and academic ranks, becoming an assistant professor in
1965, an associate professor and senior staff physician in 1968 and
professor of medicine and head of the division of general internal
medicine at Toronto General Hospital in 1976. He had to retire
from teaching when he turned 65 in 1982, but maintained his medical
practice for another decade and served as a consultant to the
province's Workman's Compensation Board when he was even older.
Dr. MacMILLAN was also a fearless and accomplished traveller
and athlete who loved the outdoors. He delighted in canoeing,
scuba diving, hiking, camping and playing tennis and skiing in
remote locations only accessible by helicopter well into his
late 70s. In addition, he and his wife had an active country
life on a farm in Vaughan, Ontario, north of Toronto (which his
father had bought in 1934) where, among other activities, he
kept bees.
The MacMILLANs were at the farm in 2001 when he recognized that
he was having a heart attack and told his wife to drive him to
the local hospital - fast - where he read his own cardiogram
and diagnosed a clot in his heart. The next morning he had a
massive coronary. After several weeks in hospital he was transferred
to the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, where after six weeks
in residence and six months as an outpatient he gradually learned
to walk and talk again. "We had six happy years," said Mrs.
MacMILLAN.
At the beginning of this year, his health declined seriously
and he had to go into a special care unit.
Robert Laidlaw
MacMILLAN was born May 23, 1917, in Toronto. He
died of complications from heart disease on September 5, 2007
at East York General Hospital in Toronto. He was 90. He is survived
by his wife Lyn, five children, 12 grandchildren and his extended
family.

MORRISON,
Valerie
Dymoke (née
WHITE/WHYTE)
Valerie died peacefully in her ninetieth year on June 14, 2007
in Halifax with family by her side. She was born in Wisbech,
Cambridgeshire, England, the second daughter of T. Charles and
Grace Lillian
(CARLILE)
WHITE/WHYTE.
She was the dearly loved wife
of the late Doctor Allan Bruce
MORRISON, who died June 14, 1990.
Valerie was a graduate of The Royal College of Music, London,
receiving both ARCM and
GRSM degrees. During the war
years she was music mistress at Newcastle Church High School
(evacuated to Alnwick Castle) and later at Wisbech High School.
She met Allan, a Canadian soldier, when he visited, while on
leave, her sister at their home in Wisbech. After a brief wartime
courtship, they corresponded during his years of graduate study
at Columbia University. In 1948, she and Allan married a few
days after her arrival on the Aquitania at Pier 21. Valerie resumed
her teaching career in 1967, and derived great enjoyment from
her many piano students. Beyond her family, many dear Friends
and music, she took great pleasure in swimming. Surely no one
enjoyed the Waegwoltic pool more. She was unapologetic about
the time she spent writing poetry. As the youngest generation
observed, 'Grandma was an artist.' Valerie was predeceased by
her infant daughter Diana and her sister Heather. She is survived
by her sister Pamela, Southport, England; her four children,
Elizabeth (Daniel
HUGHES,)
Heather
(David
TRANT,) Victoria (Michael
MITCHELL) and Charles (Francesca;) her grandchildren Michael,
Stephanie, Katherine and Victoria
HUGHES,
Katie,
Emily,
William
and Pamela
TRANT,
Jeffrey and Emily
MITCHELL, and Jacqueline
MORRISON; honorary grandchildren, Tina
RICHICHI and Jonathan
HUGHES.
The family would like to acknowledge the kind attention
that Michelle McIntyre has given Valerie for many years, and
the unwavering support of Albert Doyle, who was her 'ever present
help in time of trouble'. More recently, the loving, expert care
provided by Cathy Rouse, Holly Bell and Denise Ruppe enabled
Valerie to remain at home until her final illness. We will always
remember their kindness. The family is also grateful to the staff
of 9 Lane at the QEII Health Sciences Centre for their compassionate
care of our mother. A memorial service will take place at the
Cathedral Church of All Saints (College St.) on Monday, the 18th
of June, 2007 at 2: 00 p.m. with a reception to follow in the
church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Dartmouth Boys and Girls Club, 60 Farrell Street, Dartmouth B3H 4B3.

Following graduation, he was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship

He was Canada's 'dean of labour journalists'
By James RUSK,
Page S8
In an era when reporters joined newspapers and often stayed on
a beat for life, Wilf
LIST of The Globe and Mail set the standard
for labour reporters.
Through his coverage of turbulent strikes in the 1950s and 1960s,
of internal problems in the labour movement and of the political
influence of labour at a time when it was much more powerful
force in society than today, he also became an important figure
himself.
That influence was the product of Mr.
LIST's reputation for fairness
and impartiality. "He understood the players and the issues,"
Canadian Auto Workers president Buzz Hargrove said yesterday.
In 1968, labour minister Bryce Mackasey cited Mr.
LIST's influence
when, the national railways reached a mediated agreement with
their non-operating employees on a new contract - before the
old one had expired, the first time that had happened since Confederation.
After the settlement, the minister told reporters that he had
appointed the mediator after Mr.
LIST wrote an article commenting
that bargaining between the unions and the railways had become
a ritual that made a mockery of collective bargaining.
That fit Mr.
LIST's view of his role. After a half-century as
a labour reporter, he told an industrial-relations conference
that newspapers "are one of the most effective media for both
union and management to get their case to the workers and the
people who may influence the employees."
Ian CARMAN, a former editor of Report on Business, said Mr.
LIST
was an invaluable reporter, one who was so good in covering labour
disputes that senior company executives sometimes found out the
details of a labour settlement at their company from their morning
paper. "He had the contacts, and wherever there was a labour
dispute or some kind of strike going on, he was able to get inside
with all the workers."
Like so many young people who came of age during the Depression,
Mr. LIST was forced to start working at a young age. His father
died when he was 14, and in 1934, Mr.
LIST left Harbord Collegiate
at 15 to work at the Spitzer and Mills advertising agency to
support his mother.
In 1942, he joined The Globe and Mail, and in the late 1940s,
took over the labour beat. He quickly established his credentials
as a top reporter - in the National Newspaper Awards of 1950,
he earned a citation of merit for news reporting. A year later,
he won an honourable mention, and in 1952, he became one of the
first Globe and Mail reporters to garner a National Newspaper
Award: first prize for feature writing with a series on labour
and sociological developments in Quebec, which was tied to the
coverage of a textile strike.
At the awards ceremony, Globe managing editor W.T.
MUNNS said
Mr. LIST had the coldly analytical approach necessary to impartial
reporting of labour issues.
Mr. LIST knew everyone in the Canadian and U.S. labour movements.
In 1962, he travelled to Washington to interview Jimmy Hoffa,
president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from
1957 until the mid-1960s. The grinding taping session lasted
three hours and produced a long and penetrating feature in The
Globe Magazine, plus a radio program that Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation radio put together from Mr.
LIST's reel-to-reel tapes.
His reputation for fairness stayed with him through his tenure
on the labour beat. In the early 1970s, he was held in such high
esteem that the Trudeau government offered him a seat on the
Anti-Inflation Board. Mr.
LIST turned Ottawa down, just as he
turned aside job offers from other publications. He remained
with The Globe until retiring in 1984.
After that, the United Steelworkers of America set up an annual
award for newspapers and named it after Mr.
LIST, "the dean of
labour journalists in Canada."
In retirement, he continued to write freelance articles for The
Globe and also found a new role in labour affairs as a member
of the Public Review Board, an impartial agency set up the Canadian
Auto Workers in 1985 to deal with member complaints against the
union. Mr.
LIST was active on the board for the remainder of
his life. Earlier this week, he participated in a conference
call regarding a board matter, said chairman Alan Borovoy.
Mr.
Borovoy said he so valued Mr.
LIST's experience, judgment
and impartiality that he sought his opinion even on cases that
the former reporter had not heard. "He commanded respect universally.
It was largely because everybody knew he would be fair."
Wilf LIST was born in Toronto on October 6, 1919. He died yesterday
at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre of heart problems. He was
88. He is survived by his wife, Ethel; children Marcy, Stephen,
Wendy and Cary; grandchildren Samara, Sarah and Shayna; and a
sister.
