The entity that we now recognize as Wayne State University began as the Detroit Medical College in 1868. The new
college was started by a group of practitioners who saw
the need to propagate the science and art of medicine for
the ensuing generations. The new entity solely grew over
Detroit College of Medicine, 1868
the years and became closely related to the area hospitals.
As is typical of the American way of commercial competition, there were even two
medical schools for a short while during the early 20th century, which quickly became restored to one school as the competing hospitals recognized the need to develop and nurture one excellent institution for teaching medicine.
During the late 1800’s and early part of the 20th century, poor people in Detroit
were cared for by St. Mary’s Hospital, which was located right across the street
from the First Precinct on St. Antoine Street. During the early part of the 20 th century, the hard-working cosmopolitan citizens who originated from many different
European countries were mostly Catholic and supported the Catholic Church
Archdiocesan of Detroit which funded the provision of care to the needy by St.
Mary’s Hospital.
About the time that World War I broke out, the mayor and
the city council of Detroit recognized the overwhelming need
for the city to become involved in the care of their needy citizens. This resulted in the construction of the Detroit Receiving Hospital which opened in 1916. The supervision of care
of the patients treated at the Detroit Receiving Hospital was

provided by University faculty who volunteered their services to the education of students and residents and the care of patients with multiple medical problems while they also maintained their private practices within
the city. Meanwhile, the total university with multiple schools evolved as part of
the City of Detroit Public School System. The name “Wayne State University”

pays homage to General Anthony Wayne, who played an important role in defending Detroit during the 1700s. The close relationship between the Detroit Receiving
Hospital and the Wayne University Medical School grew over the years. Meanwhile, the very large and important Harper Hospital and Grace Hospital, with both
its downtown and northwest branch, became strong care centers independent of the
Wayne University.

During the 1970s, many recognized the synergism of having the major private hospitals within
the central city becoming more closely related to what was now Wayne State University after the
city transferred the Wayne University to the State in the 1950s. This synergism has resulted in the
close 21st century relationship between the Detroit Medical Center and the Wayne State University.
Mike Ilitch was born on the west side of Detroit in 1929. His parents Sotir and Sultana were Macedonian immigrants who taught Mike and his siblings the value of hard work, honesty, fair play,
and ambition. He received early education in the Detroit system and attended Cooley High
School. He starred on the baseball team as the Cooley Cardinals were leaders during this high
school tenure for the west side Detroit Public School baseball season. He played alongside future
Major League Baseball stars Joe Ginsburg, catcher, and Bill Roman, 1st base. During his high
school years, his athletic prowess was appreciated by the local baseball scouts, and he was offered
a bonus to sign with the Detroit Tigers. Shortly thereafter, he was called to serve Uncle Sam, and
he spent the next four years in the US Marine Corps. While in the service, he continued to hone his
baseball skills and played baseball for his base teams, who competed with the teams from other
bases. During his stint in the military, he enjoyed cooking for his colleagues. Following discharge
in 1952, he accepted a bonus to sign with the Detroit Tigers and became a member of their farm
system. He spent a number of years playing second base for the Tampa Smokers among other
teams, but his baseball career ended when he sustained a broken leg. During
his time in the Detroit Tigers farm system, he continued to enjoy cooking and
would cook for his teammates. Following his tour with the Detroit Tigers
Farm System, Mr. Ilitch became involved with a number of activities as he
continued to search for his true love. His numerous jobs over the next few
years included working for a cement company. He also worked as a door-todoor salesman for a dinnerware company and he sold aluminum awnings.

During the previous ten years, he was always amazed how you could take water
and dough and have it converted into a wonderful end-product.
During these years, he met the love of his life, Marian Bayoff, who was an airline hostess for Delta. They wedded in 1955 and produced seven wonderful children, Denise, Ron, Michael Jr., Lisa, Atanas, Christopher, and Carole, most of
Mike & Marian Ilitch
whom continue to be involved in the current Ilitch empire. Mike and Marian
opened up their first pizzeria in Garden City in 1959. This prospered and led to additional pizzerias being opened with the first Ilitch franchise being granted in 1962. His early upbringing taught
him the value of integrity and industry, which he expected to see in all of the managers of his franchise units that carried the Ilitch name. Mike would sometimes show up at one of the new franchises unannounced and unrecognized as the individual who owned the franchise. He praised
those who provided an outstanding product and tried to remediate those individuals who provided a product that was not up to his standard. When remediation failed, he quickly found a new
person to take over that franchise. During these years, he followed all of the principles that he
learned from his immigrant parents.
During the 1990s, two very shy individuals, Dr. Donald Weaver (WSUGS 1979) and Mr. Michael
Ilitch befriended each other. This friendship grew, and in the 21st century, Dr. Weaver was invited
by Mr. Ilitch to allow the members of the department of surgery to view a Tigers ball game from
the Ilitch suite, which is directly behind home plate. This allowed the faculty members and surgical residents to meet some famous Tigers including Mr. Willie Horton and Mr. Al Kaline. This
friendship culminated recently when Mr. Ilitch announced a major donation to the Wayne State
University Department of Surgery, which will henceforth be known as the Wayne State University
Michael and Marian Ilitch Department of Surgery. This generous donation to the department will
allow for Dr. Weaver and subsequent chairmen to upgrade many aspects of the department and
hopefully sets the stage for other Detroit leaders to support the School of Medicine and be recognized by having their names attached to major departments within the medical school The department of surgery becomes the first department in the medical school to be named after a Detroit
leader and benefactor. The following is the press release recognizing this wonderful donation.

Ilitches Donate $8.5M to Wayne State University
to Aid Surgical Innovation
By John Gallagher and David Jesse
Detroit Free Press Staff Writers
Pizza and entertainment entrepreneurs Michael and Marian Ilitch donated $8.5
million to the Department of Surgery at the School of Medicine at Wayne State
University to create the Ilitch Chair for Surgical Innovation.
The money will establish an unrestricted fund to support research and development in surgical technologies.
(Left to right) Valerie M. Parisi, School of Medicine dean; Marian
Donald W. Weaver, Department of Surgery chair; Michael
“Michael and Marian Ilitch have made a transformative investment in the De- Ilitch;
Ilitch; M. Roy Wilson, Wayne State University President
partment of Surgery at our medical school,” WSU President M. Roy Wilson said
in a news release. “Their commitment will help continue the department’s legacy of achievement. It also will advance
research, which will inform the future of surgery and position Wayne State as a leader in health care innovation.”
Surgical innovations under way within the department include the development of the world’s first patient-specific
surgical simulator, the school said in a news release announcing the gift. This technology will enable a surgeon to practice procedures on a 3D replica constructed from a patient’s CT scans. With practice, surgeons can identify the best
approach for treatment and discover potential problems before making an incision. This simulation platform also may
be used to design and test virtual models of medical devices, which can then be 3D printed as physical prototypes.
Other devices under development by the department include a “robotic finger with eyes” that will work inside the abdomen of a patient and send what it “sees” and “feels” directly to the surgeon’s finger.
The Ilitches’ gift will support similar technological advances, WSU said in the news release.
“We’ve made this gift to support the life-saving work of Dr. Weaver and his team at Wayne State University,” said
Michael Ilitch. “We think of this as an investment in the future of health care that will support a great educational institution and benefit the people of Detroit, the state of Michigan and beyond.”
In recognition of the gift, Wayne State University will name the department the Michael and Marian Ilitch Department
of Surgery.
“This gift is also about advancing Detroit as a center for health care innovation,” added Marian Ilitch. “Our community
is rightfully proud of Detroit’s growing reputation as a center for high-tech health care. We are happy that our gift will
help spur even more local innovation in this field, while attracting new people, companies, and jobs to Detroit and
Southeast Michigan.”

One of the many benefits of the close relationship between the Ilitch Dynasty and the Department of Surgery is the opportunity to enjoy Tiger baseball from the suite directly behind home plate. Many of the residents, faculty, and friends had the opportunity to see our Tigers defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pictured are some of the attendees.

The Midwest Surgical Association held it’s 57th annual meeting at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac
Island. As usual, the WSU Department of Surgery contributed significantly to this meeting.
During the Sunday evening session, Dr. Furrukh Jabbar (WSUGS 2013) presented a paper, “The
Diagnostic and Surgical Challenges of Massive Localized Lymphedema.” Dr. Jabbar has just completed his oncology fellowship and is establishing his practice in southeast Kentucky in the Appalachian Regional Health Care System. His hospital is located in the City of Hazard. His coauthors
were Dr. Ziyad Hammoudeh (WSUGS 2013) who is in the last year of his plastic surgical fellowship
at the Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Rebecca Bachusz (WSUGS) who is in the last year of her plastic surgical
fellowship at Indiana University. Other coauthors were Dr. Anna Ledgerwood (WSUGS 1972) and
Dr. Charlie Lucas (WSU/GS 1962/67). Dr. Jabbar was also a coauthor of the paper, “Does Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy Reduce Readmissions?” which was presented by Dr. JA Parikh from
the St. John Providence Hospital.
During the Monday morning lecture, Dr. David Hoyt, the Director of the American College of Surgeons, delivered the Dr. Scott Woods Memorial Lecture. Dr.
Hoyt provided a 2014 update of the activities of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Scott Woods (WSU/GS 1954/60) was a long-term supporter of the department of surgery, the WSU Medical School, the American College of Surgeons, and
for many years covered one night a month on the Emergency Surgical Service at
the Detroit Receiving Hospital. Mrs. Bette Woods was there to hear the memorial
lecture along with her grandson, JJ Woods.
Dr. Scott Woods
Dr. Jonathan Saxe (WSUGS 1990), a coauthor, presented a paper, “Outcomes
and Charges Associated Without Patient Inguinal Hernia Repair According to the Method of Anesthesia and Surgical Approach.” Jonathan is actively involved with the Acute Care Services at the
Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
Dr. Alicia Olson (WSUGS 2015) presented a paper at the Monday session entitled,
“Phosphatidylcholine and the Intestinal Mucous Flair; In-Vitro Efficacy Against Clostridium Difficile Associated PMM Activation.” Her sponsor and coauthor was Dr. Larry Diebel (WSU/GS
1980/86) and their technician, Mr. David Liberati.

Dr. Arthur Carlin (WSU/GS 1991/98) who spent several years on the WSU surgical faculty before
going to the Henry Ford Hospital, was very active in the discussion of many papers presented at the
meeting.
Dr. Robert Allaben (WSU 1956), a long-term private practice surgeon at Harper Hospital before
becoming a full-time faculty member within the department of surgery, arrived Monday in order to
make his contributions at the meeting and mingle with some of his old colleagues. Bob was present
with his wife, Joan, who was a long-time supervisor of the Harper Hospital Operating Room Services.
Most important of all, Dr. James Tyburski (WSUGS 1992) assumed the Office of
Presidency of the Midwest Surgical Association at the Tuesday business meeting.
Accompanying Dr. Tyburski was his wife, Julie, one of our former Detroit Receiving

REPORTS FROM THE OUTFIELD
DR. WILLIAM CIROCCO REMEMBERS HIS
PROFESSOR, DR. YVAN SILVA
I have a small but precious collection of LP vinyl albums and in that collection is
“Talk to Me” autographed by the ‘Singing Surgeon’ himself, Dr. Yvan J. Silva. The
August 2014 WSU Department of Surgery newsletter included a feature on Dr. Silva
who has received many teaching awards at multiple institutions during his long career in surgical education, and rightfully so.
Dr. Yvan Silva
Dr. Silva led one of the small groups of WSU medical students (perhaps 10 of us)
during our 3rd year surgical clerkship at Receiving. As 3rd year students, we were called
“wedges,” as in “I need a wedge to ….(fill in the blank).” I still recall the explanation of the
name given by a 2nd year preliminary general surgery resident from Indiana destined for the
WSU Orthopedics residency one night at Receiving—the wedge is the lowest form of (or most
primitive) tool. Naïve and nervous, this was our introduction to the field of surgery. We
would meet Dr. Silva in a conference room at Receiving Hospital and discuss various cases we
were involved with and go over multiple choice questions from our exams, among other activities. It was a rare time when we could relax and interact with a faculty member and not be concerned about being ‘correct’ or on top of our game if we weren’t sure of a given disease process
or associated operative strategy. It was also a time when to discuss topics or have conversations which were not necessarily in the medical student surgical curriculum.
Dr. Silva was quite generous with his time and I believe looked forward to our discussions
outside of the realm of the surgical disciplines. In fact, he had our student group out to a local
Middle Eastern restaurant which included music, singing, and entertainment by belly dancers.
It was fascinating to see that surgeons can have multiple talents and a wide range of interests
outside of the OR. While Dr. Walt may have preferred expeditions to the DSO, opera, or other
more conventional cultural pursuits, belly dancing and crooning was just right for Dr. Silva. It
was also interesting to see the ‘lighter’ side of a surgical faculty member and as students we

could certainly appreciate some time away from the constant drone of medical
education and the pursuit of good exam scores and grades.
Now, as a surgical faculty member in an academic institution, I couldn’t imagine taking my students to see a belly dancer (I guess it could be billed as an anatomy lesson of sorts), however, I do see the significance of displaying the wellDr. William Corocco
rounded surgeon with activities and experiences which go beyond textbooks and (WSU SOM 1983)
the operating theatre. Perhaps it was a simpler era 30 years ago, but the ability to
connect with our students, either on far-reaching subjects or outside of the usual healthcare
setting, is valuable.
Dr. Silva certainly exemplified the “generosity of spirit” that he mentions in his ‘Cyber Memoir.’ Furthermore, he acknowledges the ability of musicians to “give more than they receive
and get less than they deserve.” Both sentiments certainly fit Dr. Silva. He goes on to note his
great love for the City of Detroit, “Speak well of her or say nothing at all.” Dr. Walt may have
championed the “surgeon as scholar” but the “surgeon as singer” also has its merits. Thank
you, Dr. Silva! You have certainly raised the bar for surgical faculty trying to fill the mentor
role of our medical students and surgical residents.

WAYNE STATE SURGICAL SOCIETY
The Wayne State Surgical Society (WSSS) was established during the tenure of Dr. Walt as the
chairman of the Department of Surgery. WSSS was designed to create closer contact between
the current faculty and residents with the former resident members in order to create a living
family of all of the WSU Department of Surgery. The WSSS also supports department activities.
Charter/Life Membership in the WSSS is attained by a donation of $1,000 per year for ten years
or $10,000 prior to ten years. Annual membership is attained by a donation of $200 per year.
WSSS supports a visiting lecturer each fall and co-sponsors the annual reception of the department at the annual meeting of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Lisa Flynn
(WSU/GS/VS1993/98/99) passed the baton of presidency to Dr. Mark A. Herman (WSU/GS
1994/2001) at the WSSS Gathering during the American College of Surgeons meeting in October 2012. Members of the WSSS are listed on the next page. Dr. Herman hopes that all former
residents will become lifetime members of the WSSS and participate in the annual sponsored
lectureship and the annual reunion at the American College of Surgeons meeting.

AN OPERATION A YEAR FOR WSU
January 1, 2014 through
December 31, 2014
The WSU department of Surgery has instituted a new group of alumni who are remembering their training by donating the proceeds of one operation a year to the department. Those who join this new effort will be recognized herein as annual contributors.
We hope that all of you will remember the department by donating one operation, regardless of difficulty or reimbursement, to the department to help train your replacements. Please send you donation to the Wayne State Surgical Society in care of Dr.
Charles E. Lucas at Detroit Receiving Hospital, 4201 St. Antoine Street (Room 2V), Detroit, MI, 48201.
