Discussion

After the patient completed his show, he returned to the Statler Hotel, where Daniel E. Cohn, a young physician covering for the usual senior hotel doctor, diagnosed acute appendicitis. On October 25, 1926, Dr. Charles S. Kennedy, Chief of Surgery at Grace Hospital in Detroit, operated the patient, discovering acute gangrenous appendicitis with peritonitis. A few days later Dr. Kennedy reoperated because of suspected ileus or obstruction. He died on Sunday, October 31, with the cause of death listed as "diffuse streptococcal peritonitis."

Who was our mystery patient?

Rudolf Valentino
Charlie Chaplin
Ehrich Weiss

Porto, the city of our congress

Overlooking the Douro River, Porto is one of the most ancient European cities, It was born and developed from the northern bank of this river during the Middle Ages. One of the most significant aspects of Porto and its historical centre is its landscape, combining harmony with the urban structure and presenting a frame of rare beauty. The city was classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.
When discovering Porto, you will find many surprises. Besides its welcoming and conservative environment, Porto is also contemporany and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants and leisure and shopping areas.

For more information please visit the Porto tourism official website.
