Consulting Oto-Laryngologist: Dr. Dan McKenzie, whose
death unfortunately has to be recorded, had come to be regarded
by the staff with admiration and with affection. A leader in
his profession, he inspired confidence by his skill and his deep
and conscientious regard for the welfare of his patient. By his
staunch character he made fast friends of those daily associated
with him. His loss was therefore deeply felt by the members of
the staff with whom he worked.
Dr. Miller, who had previously acted as deputy during the
absence of Dr. McKenzie, and who was appointed to succeed him,
performed six mastoid operations and re-opened one mastoid. One
mastoid operation was performed by Dr. McKenzie before his
death.
