H. Minor Nichols
1908-1979
Dr. H. Minor Nichols died on July 18, 1979, after a short illness. Though he had retired from practice in
1975, he will be remembered as the pioneer in hand surgery in Portland, Ore.
Dr. Nichols was born in Portland, Ore., and completed his undergraduate education at Yale University in 1930. He received his medical degree from the University of Oregon in 1934. He took a year of residency training in pathology at the University of Oregon and then a surgical residency at Abington Hospital, Abington, Pa., with additional work at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a master of medical science degree.
Early in his career as a general surgeon, Dr. Nichols was interested in all areas of surgery, including orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery. During World War II he had the opportunity to meet Dr. Sterling Bunnell, who stimulated his interest in hand surgery which continued throughout his life. He was a diplomat of the American Board of Surgery, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the Western Surgical Association, the Societe Internationale de Chirurgie, and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. He was elected to membership in the American Society for Surgery of the Hand in 1955.
As his practice in hand surgery grew, so did his interest in education. His Manual of Hand Injuries was published in 1955 and revised in 1960, and he wrote numerous articles for various publications on hand surgery. He was a clinical instructor in surgery at the University of Oregon and a consultant in hand surgery at Madigan Army Hospital, as well as a member of the Society of Medical Consultants to the Armed Forces. He made extensive trips as a guest lecturer to Australia, Japan, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, London, and France. He was an honorary member of the First Hand Club of England and the South American Orthopedic Society. He established a hand surgery fellowship for orthopedic surgery residents in Portland, Ore., in the early 1970s and conducted the program until his retirement from active practice.
Dr. Nichol's interests were many and varied. He particularly enjoyed hiking and boating. His many friends will miss his ready wit and keen sense of humor. - Mary R. McVay, M.D (The Journal of Hand Surgery: British & European Volume 1979 / 11 Vol. 4; Iss. 6)
