He was on the board of trustees at Hopkins for nineteen years. The Friesinger Society was founded in 2000, and it endowed a chair in his name in 2005 at Vanderbilt. In 1960, he was the first to successfully use the Kouwenhoven defibrillator. His research activities, primarily funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), resulted in more than one hundred original publications in peer-reviewed journals, more than twenty-five chapters in textbooks, and the editing of two books. This account, written with authority and affection, reflects the man himself—brilliant, sensible, and insatiably curious. A lifelong learner here shares his knowledge one more time.view less
