Timeline

1964

He was a writer, known for Bethune (1964), Doctor Bethune (1939) and Heart of Spain (1937).

1931

In 1931, while visiting a sanatorium in Prescott, Arizona, he performed a phrenicectomy on actress Renée Adorée, who was a patient there at the time being treated for tuberculosis. This involved making an incision at the base of the neck and removing part of the phrenic nerve, which causes the diaphragm to rise. The procedure partially depresses the lung, allowing it to rest in hopes of expediting healing to the lung, a similar goal of the pneumothorax procedure he had developed and successfully treated himself with. However, Adoree died of tuberculosis in Los Angeles in 1933.

1926

In 1926, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. While the standard treatment was long periods of rest, he invented a device that artificially induced pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, and had this done on himself in the hopes that his diseased lung would rest and heal itself by not functioning for a time. This was a radical, new treatment at the time, but his lung made a full recovery.
