In the spring of 1987, nearly 350 individuals gathered in a hotel
in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D. C. , to
participate in a two-day medical symposium devoted to the topic of
liver diseases. A small minority of this group had been attracted
by what promised to be an outstanding Continuing Medical Education
course. The remainder, however, although obviously interested in
the content of the symposium, had come primarily to honor a man
who, over the years, had profoundly touched them, personally or
professionally, for the course had been conceived as a tribute to
an exceptional man of medicine, a man with remarkable scholarly and
personal attributes: Hyman J. Zimmerman. Dr. Zimmerman, referred to
affectionately by all as Hy, was born in 1914 in Rochester, New
York, the city in which he received both his early schooling and
his undergraduate education. In the late 1930s, he moved to Palo
Alto to begin his medical education at Stanford University, from
which he graduated cum laude in 1942, having spent an additional
year acquiring a masters degree and as World War II in
bacteriology. Almost immediately thereafter, he entered military
service, was in progress, was assigned to duty in France. Soon
after his arrival, he was made chief of an Army field hospital. A
major medical problem plaguing U. S. troops at the time was viral
hepatitis, which resulted in a deluge of patients admitted to his
hospital.
