James Tait Goodrich (April 16, 1946 – March 30, 2020) was an American neurosurgeon. He was the director of the Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery and Professor of Clinical Neurological Surgery, Pediatrics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.[1]
Background
Goodrich was born in Oregon[2] and received his undergraduate degree from University of California Irvine and his masters, PhD, and MD from Columbia University. He did his residency at New York–Presbyterian Hospital.[1] He served as a Marine in the Vietnam War.[3]
Career
He was best known for his 2004 and 2016 separations of conjoined twins.[2][4] He developed his own multi-stage approach to separate craniopagus twins, like those of Jadon and Anias McDonald. In 2004, he gained attention when he operated on Carl and Clarence Aguirre, twins who shared brain tissue. During a 27 hour surgery, Dr. Goodrich led a team of 40 doctors to separate them when they were 13 months old.
Goodrich was also an historian of medicine, and distinguished collector of antiquarian medical and scientific books. In 1982, he was elected a member of the American Osler Society,[5] an organization of physicians and historians devoted to the celebration of the extraordinary humanistic, scientific, and bibliophilic achievements of Sir William Osler (1849-1919.) Goodrich often cited Osler as his role model.[citation needed] In 2018, he was awarded a Marquis Who's Who Lifetime Achievement Award.[6]
Awards and recognition
He was named to Best Doctors in America and was listed in the Guide to America's Top Surgeons by the Consumers Council of America and New York Magazine. He received the New York City Mayors Award in Science and Technology. He also received the Bronze Medal from the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has also received awards including the Mead-Johnson Award, the Roche Laboratories Award in Neuroscience and the Sir William Osler Medal. [7]
Death
Goodrich died in New York on March 30, 2020, of complications of COVID-19.[2] He is survived by his wife, Judy Loudin, and three sisters.[7]
