Mark Goodwin tells us the story of his friend Dr. Sarah Sullivan "Sully" Johnson, a great cardiologist. In 1978, at only 36 years old, she was named the Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Loyola University Medical Center.
She trained countless fellows at Loyola before going into private practice.
She developed an appendiceal tumor, for which she had 10 years of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries – and eventually succumbed.
Mark misses her – and wishes that today people demand the highest level of radiation safety in the cath lab.
