Publishers Description: Written as a series of brief, lively vignettes, Mayo Roots covers more than a century of key events and personalities. The story begins with the horse-and-buggy practice of Dr William Worrall Mayo. It continues with the remarkable accomplishments of his sons, Drs William and Charles Mayo, whose expertise in the operating room drew physicians and patients from around the world to Rochester, Minnesota. Generously illustrated, Mayo Roots introduces you to Mayos physicians, scientists and administrators, and also to people as diverse as President Franklin Roosevelt, aviator Charles Lindbergh and researcher Madame Marie Curie, who have played a role in Mayos ongoing quest "to heal the sick and advance the science."
