B6 FRED PLUM, 86 Neurologist advocated for right to die by Emma Brown


Fred Plum, 86, a neurologist who was one of the world’s fore- most authorities on coma and consciousness and a fierce ad- vocate for patients’ right to die, died June 11 at a hospice in Man- hattan. He had primary progres- sive aphasia, a form of dementia. Dr. Plum was the former head of neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York- Presbyterian Hospital, and his re- search on comatose patients helped build a foundation for their diagnosis and treatment long before technologies emerged that allow doctors to measure brain activity. In the early 1970s, he helped coin the term “persistent vegeta- tive state” to describe comatose patients who appear to be awake and aware but are in fact un- conscious. Such cases have be- come more common as medical technology has helped critically injured patients survive. They raise difficult moral and legal questions about whether and how long an unresponsive person should be kept alive. Dr. Plum testified as an expert witness in several important court cases that helped establish precedents for allowing a pa- tient’s medical treatment to be discontinued. “He felt very strongly that peo- ple should die with dignity and control the end of their lives as much as possible and that lives should not be extended beyond the point where a person could feel his own humanity,” said his wife, Susan Butler Plum. Dr. Plum also spoke out about


the value of living wills, which al- low people to give instructions for their medical treatment should they become unconscious or unable to make decisions. In 1994, he cared for Richard M. Nixon when the former presi- dent had a stroke. Nixon died less than a week after the stroke, hav- ing made clear before he became unconscious that he did not want heroic lifesaving measures if he were brain-injured, Dr. Plum told the New York Times. “This was his last chance to ex- ercise moral leadership, and he did it,” Dr. Plum said. “Mr. Nixon made it apparent that persons of high order and dignity and posi- tion were quite able to sit back on the oars and make a decision that if they could not lead, if they could not contribute, and if they could not participate in society, then it was not worth living.” Fred Plum was born Jan. 10,


1924, in Atlantic City, where his father, a former world champion trapshooter, owned a chain of drugstores. He decided to study medicine after his sister died of polio. After graduating from Dart- mouth College in 1944, he re- ceived a medical degree from Cornell University in 1947 and worked during the Korean War at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Queens, N.Y. He then moved to Seattle, where he became chief of the neurology department at the

University of Washington. There, he and colleague Je-


rome Posner worked to figure out how best to examine, diagnose and treat the unconscious victims of head traumas and drug over- doses. In 1966, they published their findings in “The Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma,” a practical guide for doctors that has be- come a seminal text in the field and is in its fourth edition. In the early 1960s, he returned to Cornell to replace his mentor, Harold Wolff, as head neurolo- gist. A decade later, he and a Scot- tish neurosurgeon named Bryan Jennett coined the term “persis- tent vegetative state.” They also developed a standard way to measure and define a coma’s se- verity based on a patient’s move- ments and physical responses. The Glasgow Coma Scale is still used today. In 1975, Dr. Plum was the ex-


pert witness in the headline-mak- ing case of Karen Ann Quinlan, who had become unconscious af- ter mixing tranquilizers with al- coholic drinks. In one of the first cases testing a patient’s right to die, the hospital caring for Quin- lan refused her parents’ request to end her active medical care. A court ruled that she could be re- moved from her ventilator; she lived for nearly a decade before dying in 1985. Dr. Plum was also an expert witness in a 1990 Supreme Court case in which the parents of Nan- cy Cruzan, who had entered a persistent vegetative state after a


GONTRAN LAMBERTY, 82 Health program research chief


Gontran Lamberty, 82, who spent 25 years as director of a federal health research program on mothers and children, died June 5 at the Copper Ridge nurs- ing facility in Sykesville, Md. He had Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Lamberty directed the Ma- ternal and Child Health Re- search Program within the Health Resources and Services Administration from 1977 until his retirement in 2002. The mul- tidisciplinary public health pro- gram investigated pediatric and obstetric health and the delivery of health-care services to moth- ers and children. Gontran Lamberty was born in Añasco, Puerto Rico, and served in the Navy from 1948 to 1952. He received an associate’s degree from Mitchell College in New London, Conn., in 1954 and a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Wesleyan College in 1956. He received a master’s degree in sociology from the University


of Connecticut in 1958 and a doc- torate in public health from Johns Hopkins University in 1977. Dr. Lamberty worked in health research and statistics in Con- necticut before becoming chief of the behavioral sciences section of the D.C. Health Department’s health education division in 1964. He joined the old Department


of Health, Education and Welfare as a public health analyst in 1967. Dr. Lamberty, who lived in Co- lumbia, was a volunteer fund- raiser for the Boy Scouts. He en- joyed photography and some- times exhibited his work at galleries and in art shows. Survivors include his wife of 43 years, Esther Milagros Lam- berty-Martinez of Columbia; two sons, Gontran Miguel Lamberty of Elkridge and Dr. Phillip Lam- berty of Pittsburgh; and five grandchildren.

practice of medicine is about pre- serving the brain. “We are our minds,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1994. “The brain is the self.” His first marriage, to Jean

La Guardia Airport once asked for help finding a summer job for his 15-year-old son, and Dr. Plum wrote his name on the taxi driv- er’s brown lunch bag before hop- ping out to catch his flight. The son ended up volunteering
