Harry Lee Parker: Games Lost and Won on the Playing Fields of Neurology
Harry Lee Parker (1894–1959) was an American and Irish neurologist who reported unique paroxysmal symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis,1 and wrote a book on clinical neurology popular enough to be reprinted 13 years after initial publication.2 Parker penned profiles of other physicians,3-5 but his biography has only been touched on briefly in obituaries,6,7 articles,1,8,9 and books.10-13 Following his advice that “a honeyed obituary is an insult to the dead (p. 596),”5 we will describe in detail the life of Dr.Reciprocal Development and Progressive Responsibility: The History of the Mayo Clinic Neurology Residency
The first Mayo Clinic neurology resident began training approximately 1 century ago. Over the subsequent 100 years, 639 budding specialists in diseases of the nervous system graduated from the Mayo Clinic Neurology Residency in Rochester, Minnesota. The history of the American residency has been thoroughly covered by Ludmerer in his 2014 book Let Me Heal,1 and a history of the Mayo Clinic Otolaryngology Residency Program was published in 2020.2 Mulder discussed education in the Mayo Clinic Department of Neurology as part of an overview of the history of the department in 1971.
