Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 2/2/2007 - 2/3/2007 9. An abstract from a conference paper written by Michael Berger in 2007. "A 20th century pediatrician and the emergence of modern day pediatrics". The Proceedings of the 16th Annual History of Medicine Days, March 30th and 31st, 2007 Health Sciences Centre, Calgary, AB. Michael is the grandson of Lyon Pearlman. In 1922, in the midst of increasing infant mortality and the rampant spread of infectious disease, a small, but dedicated group of physicians founded the Canadian Pediatric Society in Toronto. Surprisingly, there was tremendous reluctance on the part of the Canadian medical establishment, comprised chiefly of academics and internists, in recognizing pediatrics as a distinct medical specialty. However, the early pediatricians were steadfast in their belief that the needs of a child were diverse, that children were susceptible to a different category of diseases and they required a continuum of care from infancy through to adolescence. They believed that only those trained to recognize these issues were qualified to nurture the growth and development of Canadian children. Dr. Lyon Pearlman, a pioneering Ottawa area pediatrician from 1938-1989, is an excellent example of an early practitioner who initiated changes at both the local and national level and helped to establish pediatrics as a specialty that integrates clinical, psychological and social issues in the management of illness. This paper will highlight some of his major contributions and place them within the context of the emergence of modern pediatrics. 10. Dr. Pearlman was fluent in Yiddish.
