Synopsis

It was a balmy early September evening in 1998. The event was the annual fund-raiser for the Missouri Delta Medical Center, and I was the guest of honor; to receive a meritorious service award and recognition for services performed as a surgeon for more than four decades, as well as my work in various community projects and promotions. This was the second annual fund-raising event sponsored by the Missouri Delta Medical Center Foundation. The first one, the year before, had paid tribute to Judge Marshall Craig, a distinguished circuit court jurist, a legal icon in our region, and an all-American basketball player at the University of Missouri during his college days. It was my privilege to introduce the out-of-town special guests in attendance that had come to honor Judge Craig. The president of the University of Missouri, Dr. George Russell, originally from Bertrand, Missouri, a small town just east of Sikeston, and the renowned coach of the University of Missouri Tigers basketball team for more than twenty-five years, Coach Norman Stewart, had traveled down from Columbia, Missouri, to help honor Judge Craig.

About this title

About the Author:

About the Author Dr. Heeb grew up poor but didn't know it in Chaffee, Missouri, a town of three thousand in Southeast Missouri. After serving in the navy from 1945 to 1946, he realized if he was ever going to be successful, it was up to him and no one else. With a wanton academic high-school record, through hard work, persistence, and the grace of God, he earned a BS in science, magna cum laude, in three years from Southeast Missouri State University. Dr. Heeb entered medical school at the University of Missouri and received an MD degree with honors from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. After completing a surgical residency at the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis, he earned board certification in general surgery and was accepted as a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. From a practice of surgery in Sikeston, Missouri, a community of less than twenty thousand, he experienced many exciting and unusual cases. He attained national status in the American Cancer Society and American College of Surgeons, as well as numerous state organizations. Dr. Heeb has published numerous surgical articles in national surgical journals, as well as articles related to doctor-patient relationships. He resides at Kentucky Lake and Cape Coral, Florida. He retired on November 9, 2008, after over fifty years as a general surgeon, but still advises friends with medical and surgical problems. Sailing with friends in Florida is still enjoyed.
