When World War I began Thomas was sent overseas as a military surgeon, a posting that further established his conventional medical bona fides when he returned. Happily he returned in time to override Sara McClintock's conviction that attending college would doom daughter Barbara to a life of spinsterhood, and encourage his daughter to enroll at Cornell University. And the rest is Nobel History.
