McKenzie biography

This series contains documents created and collected by Morley in the research and writing of his book Kenneth George McKenzie 1892-1964: the Founding of Canadian Neurosurgery published in 2004 [1]. Included are extensive interview notes with various colleagues that either worked or trained with Dr. McKenzie at the Toronto General Hospital including John Scott, Harry Botterell, Charlie Drake, Norman Delarue and Ted Dewar. There are also interview notes with some of McKenzie’s daughters and granddaughters. Most files contain notes compiled by Morley from primary research which is supplemented by correspondence. While there is not a complete manuscript there are some drafts of chapters.

Also included in this series are original medical records belonging to McKenzie that Morley had preserved. Most relate to a specific patient whose case is discussed in the book and described in the section The First Hemispherectomy for Epilepsy (p. 113 – 118). Records include original correspondence, examination reports, surgical and conference reports, photographs, X-rays, and microscopic slide specimens. Also included are drafts of an unpublished paper by McKenzie discussing this case. Finally, there is documentation on two other clinical cases discussed in the book: Spasmatic Torticollis p.66-70 which includes an original manuscript of a paper written with Harvey Cushing (1924) and; Spinal Tumor (p.70-74) which is documented by original medical reports. There is a third medical case file but its direct relation to the cases discussed in the book is unclear. Finally, a compilation book of McKenzie’s publications has been preserved here. This was passed to Morley by McKenzie’s son, Fred McKenzie.

All Morley’s records for the book are found in B2006-0011/004 while McKenzie patient records are found in B2006-0011/005.
