It was 1966 when Melvin Judkins, MD, class of 1947, LLU School of Medicine, introduced a greatly simplified technique for an existing medical procedure. This came to be called the Judkins Technique, and last week’s trivia challenge asked what this procedure was.
Answers of coronary angiography or coronary arteriography were accepted (it is called both on the LLU website), though I’m told by a cardiologist that angiography is the best term. Sherrefa Burchell, Bryan Solis, and Wanda R. Lewis, you are today’s three randomly selected winners. Please email pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.
The same year Judkins introduced his technique, 1966, ground was broken on campus for a new building. This week’s trivia challenge is to name that building.
Please email the correct answer to pr@llu.edu for the chance to become a random winner. For fun, if you like, offer a description of that unique building. Any delightful or funny word pictures you provide may be shared when the answer is revealed.
Submit your answer by midnight, Wednesday, Dec. 31. The answer will appear in the next issue of News of the Week, which will not be until Jan. 8. Happy holidays. Peace.
