Jimmie C. Holland belongs to the medical record as a figure whose work changed what could be treated.
The record lists Jimmie C. Holland as American psychiatrist (1928-2017).
Jimmie C. Holland was born at Forney in 1928. Her recorded nationality is United States. She trained at Baylor University and Weill Cornell Medicine.
Antibiotics, imaging and the randomised trial defined twentieth-century medicine; evidence replaced authority as the standard.
Her posts were held at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
The recorded fields of work are psycho-oncology, oncology and psychiatry.
Medicine advances against a moving target, and its successes are counted in lives rather than papers.
That the work was done from United States matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Jimmie C. Holland died in 2017, aged 89. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
