Through new and astonishing capabilities of artificial intelligence, the editors of The American Surgeon have been able to step back in time and conduct a virtual interview with the most eponymous surgeon in history: Allen Oldfather Whipple. We caught up with Dr. Whipple on September 2nd, 1946, shortly after completing the final operation of his surgical career; not surprisingly, a pancreaticoduodenectomy.
