Clinoptikon Visual Guide to Anatomy for Patients

Coleman Connolly saw more Tuberculosis Patients than many as a physician in the 1950s to 1980s. He frequently operated on TB  patients as medications were not available or effective in the 1950s. At Anoka State Hospital he operated on mentally ill patients as well, apparently this was not the usual routine. More about the history of Tuberculosis here: http://www.umdnj.edu/ntbc/tbhistory.htm

These color plates are from a small Schering Drug Company sponsored book to explain tuberculosis and other lung diseases to patients. It was probably used frequently in a chest surgeon' office.

Fellow of American College of Chest Physicians 1951

This picture was taken in 1951 in Chicago and is labeled as FACCP. Coleman Connolly is standing in the front row, second from center isle wearing a bow tie and dark suit. This is a ceremony for candidates becoming Fellows in the American College of Chest Physicians. He never used "F.A.C.C.P." after his name as he considered it pretentious.

This room was also pictured in the collection of the Museum of Surgical Science with a similar number of probably doctors receiving fellowship designation. The Museum is affiliated with the International College of Surgeons so probably Fellows of American College of Surgery, "F.A.C.S.". If you know more please leave a comment.
