RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Champ Lyons, MD The Ochsner Years: 1945–1950 JF Ochsner Journal JO Ochsner J FD O. P. Jindal Global University SP 163 OP 167 VO 9 IS 3 A1 Trotter, Michael C. YR 2009 UL http://www.ochsnerjournal.org/content/9/3/163.abstract AB Since its founding, the Ochsner Clinic Foundation has been associated with many “giants” in their respective fields. A hallmark of these associations has been the selection of individuals based on superior ability and integrity. Champ Lyons was a staff surgeon at Ochsner from 1945 to 1950. His time in New Orleans was the final step to the pinnacle of a brilliant, yet brief, surgical career. This bright shining star of American surgery influenced, and was influenced by, Ochsner.
