Show nirayt DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MAY 17, 1979 WEEKLY REFLEX Dr. Noall Tanner Still Has Personal Touch Dr. Noall Tanner has seen tune and spreading malignancy he lived for more than medicine changes over the prominent physician for years and a community LONG THIS distance medicine is nothing new to Dr. Tanner, who regularly receives calls from patients in some seven western states. And even those distances pale when compared to the teenagers who were flown in from Paris, France earlier this year to have Dr. Tanner conduct simple tonsillectomies (their air fare was higher than the hospital and physicians fees). Why consult a family doctor hundreds and even thousands of miles away. WHEN YOURE around practicing medicine as long as I have," says Dr. Tanner, "you just naturally make lots of friends. And thats what makes the profession worthwhile for me." Dr. Tanner does not deal with just families, he frequently deals with generations. While strolling through the hospital recently a couple from Syracuse hailed Dr. Tanner in the hall. "We have never known any other doctor, said the man. He cared for my grandfather, my father, the wife and I, our and now were up children to see our grandchild whom Dr. Tanner operated on. He ' has been the family doctor through five generations." EVEN DR. Tanner, an optimist about his community and his work, could not have envisioned this kind of acceptance when he first began as a 1934 medical graduate of the University of Oregon. He returned to his hometown in Layton to join his father and his brother in a medical practice run from their own home. Davis County was a lot different then. Population was sparse, there were no paved roads that joined the county together, and at one point the Tanners were then only physicians between Lay-toand downtown Ogden.

St. Marks and LDS in the south. He practiced at McKay Dee Hospital for more than 35 years. If the country has changed, so has medicine. The sophistication of this profession has been enormous, he says. "Most doctors back then were not specialists, they had to do it all. There were no there were no antibiotics, tranquilizers, there were no cotton balls, there were no blood bank items, and there were no IV fluids. There were also no ambulances to take the really sick to the doctor or the hospital. TO INCREASE patient-comfo- rt and medical reliability, Dr. Tanner innew several troduced products and concepts to the northern Utah area. One he especially remembers is the gastric suction (nasal suc- tion) in common use today at Utah hospitals. (Innovation remains a cornerstone of his practice.

With the development ' of the Layton Hospital, the clinic built a modern structure west of Davis North, a new building now housing 28 doctors. 3-- YOU TRY to remember all the patients names, but it becomes impossible after awhile. But there are still patients who stand out in your mind, patients whom you take pride in caring for and whom you admire. One such patient was a Layton man who contracted cancer while still a young man. Dr. Tanner conducted five surgical operations on him, taking out much of the mans pelvis, abdomen, groin and leg tissue. That man had the will to live.
