In Memoriam
John M. Henry, M.D.
W
by Michael Baxter, MD
hen the young Urologist arrived at Reading Hospital in May
of 1994, I smiled to myself when I saw his name, John Henry,
and wondered if he would work as hard as his namesake, the
sledgehammering railroad worker of American folklore who in a contest
defeated the machine brought in to replace him. It did not take long to see
that indeed this young surgeon was himself something special. I frequently
heard comments regarding his unmatched productivity and his incredible
surgical talents whether employing traditional or the newly developed robotic
techniques. Indeed it was not an overstatement to say that John was " a gifted
surgeon. " Throughout his career, John's reputation was unsurpassed as he served
for many years as the Division Chief of Urology at Reading Hospital. John was
also a member of the Berks County Medical Society.
John was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Franklin and Marshall College
and earned his medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He
completed his internship and residency in general surgery followed by his
Urology training all at the University of Pennsylvania. He was a founding and
practicing physician at the Center for Urological Care of Berks County. In
his " free time " he enjoyed a wide range of outdoor activities with family and
friends.
I always found John engaging whether at hospital meetings, social events or
working out at our local gym. He had a reputation though for being succinct,
answering one younger patient's questions about his surprising BPH (benign
prostatic hypertrophy) symptoms with the response " too much testosterone. "
What male is going to question that explanation?
John was indeed a leader for high quality advanced medical care in our
community. At age 59, he has left us much too soon, a tragic loss especially
for his wife Jill, his children, other family and friends. He will be sadly missed
but fondly remembered by countless grateful patients and his many admiring
colleagues.
