Ralph A. Kinsella Sr., M.D.(’11), was the first to demonstrate that salicylates, such as aspirin, have anti-inflammatory effects. He also made a major contribution to the understanding of the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. Following a fruitful career investigating streptococcal infection and endocarditis , Dr. Ralph A. Kinsella Sr., returned to St. Louis in 1919 to establish a research institute at Jewish Hospital. In 1919, Ralph A. Kinsella Sr., M.D.(’11), joins the School of Medicine as a professor in the department of medicine. He receives a federal grant to study infectious diseases. To help investigate the influenza pandemic, he recruits recent School of Medicine graduate Goronwy O. Broun Sr., M.D.(’18), whose sister died from the virus. Together they discover the factors responsible for hemorrhaging in severe cases. He returned to SLU in 1924 as professor of experimental medicine and the physician-in-chief of the newly constructed St. Mary’s Hospital. Together with his friend and collaborator, Dr. Goronwy Broun, he would go on to publish seminal works in inflammatory arthritis, bacterial endocarditis, and St. Louis Encephalitis. In 1924, Kinsella, also known as “Big Red,” is appointed director of the department of medicine and physician-in-chief of the University Hospitals, which consists of St. Mary’s Hospital, St Mary’s Infirmary and Mt. St. Rose Hospital. Associated hospitals include Alexian Brothers, St. Anthony’s and St. John’s. Broun, who left the school to work with some of the most famous virologists of the time, returns to the University and becomes the first full-time faculty member in the department. [Broun notes the] legendary diagnostic skills of his director and teacher, Dr. Ralph Kinsella. He said Dr. Kinsella could walk into the room of a complex and challenging patient and “smell” the diagnosis. The residents under Dr. Kinsella were well trained and masters of physical diagnosis. Ralph produced a slew of Kinsella physicians – Ralph Jr. (endocrinologist and chief of staff at City Hospital), Edward (gastroenterologist at St. Mary’s) and Peter (pulmonologist at St. Mary’s). A generation of nurses at St. Mary’s would help young trainees distinguish the Drs. Kinsella as “Endoscopy Ed” and “Pulmonary Pete.” Ralph Jr. and Peter married physicians as well: Margaret Boyle, M.D., and Maria Stack, M.D., respectively.(primary source: slu.edu)-[edited bio by: RCS]
