Dr. Robert Nirschl, M.D., 84,of Chain Bridge Forest inMcLean is one of five peopleto win the 2017 Mayo Clinic
Distinguished Alumni Award last Octo-ber for his work in the international fieldof orthopedic medicine. The Mayo ClinicBoard of Trustees gives the award an-nually to acknowledge the contributionsof Mayo alumni to the field of medicine,including medical practice, research,education and administration. Nirschlcompleted his residency in orthopedicsurgery at the Mayo Clinic in 1963. Hewas a longtime orthopedic surgeon atVirginia Hospital Center.
“It’s a huge privilege and huge honorto be selected as distinguished alumni– there are 30,000 people who wentthrough the Mayo educational systemstarting around 1900. Looking back atthat legacy is a huge honor and then tobe honored by the group – it’s surrealstuff in a sense,” he said.
He said the Mayo brothers – Williamand Charles Mayo who developed theMayo Clinic – not only appreciated qual-ity care but they also understood that itrequired research and advancement ofmedicine. “So, this was not only doc-tors involved in delivering care, but alsodoing research to enhance the progres-sion of medical knowledge,” he said. “So,it’s quality care plus research plus educa-tion.”
Nirschl is a world-renowned expert ontennis elbow, known as epicondylitis, whichis a tendon overuse problem. During his 55-year career, he has been instrumental in theinitial recognition, treatment and investi-gation into the pathophysiology of this con-dition, and invented the Nirschl OperativeProcedure.
His work expanded not only to the elbow,but to the shoulder rotator cuff, the kneecap tendon, Achilles tendon in the lowerleg, Plantar Fasciitis in the foot, and all ofthe tendons.
“Tennis elbow is a failure of the tendonand the tendon, under duress, will mechani-cally break down. The blood supply to thetendon is altered so the blood vessels getsqueezed out,” he said.
DURING HIGH SCHOOL, he played ten-nis his senior year and picked it up againwhen he moved here and played at the Tuc-kahoe Recreation Club in McLean. Around1966, he got tennis elbow and read somearticles by orthopedic surgeons about theproblem. So, he started to do research andfound that what was available in worldmedicine was inadequate and erroneous.He looked into doing a different tennis el-
bow operation so he went to the cadaverlab at Georgetown University. There, he diddissection on the elbow and found that themalady of what was happening with tenniselbow was the tendon, which was hidden.
“None of the surgeries found where the
real problem was. I redesigned the wholesurgical approach to the elbow, tennis el-bow and golfer’s elbow. I found the shoul-der was involved and began to alter theshoulder surgery,” he said.
Nirschl’s research of sports techniques
produced new treatments for tendon in-juries of the shoulder, elbow and lowerextremities. The Nirschl operative pro-cedure for elbow tendinosis (tennis andgolfer’s elbow), as well as his classifica-tion of pain phases and microscopicevaluation with Virginia Hospital Cen-ter pathologist Russell Stay (1979) oftendon failed healing is now utilized byphysicians worldwide.
He said for 100 years, the failure oftendons was called tendonitis. “Thewhole idea was when we did analysisof the tissue, we found out there wereno inflammatory cells in the tissue, thiswas not an inflammatory problem,therefore we changed the name fromtendonitis to angio-fibroblastictendinosis. We found out this was a de-generative process rather than an in-flammatory process,” he said.
He started filming tennis stroke me-chanics of world-class tennis players onthe 1970 U.S. Davis Cup Team in Cleve-land and analyzing mechanics of notonly tennis but all sports. He comparedthese players to recreational tennis play-ers. With this information, he recog-nized injury-producing patterns and rec-ommended good stroke/sport mechan-ics, and accommodating equipment.
He’s worked with Donald Dell ofPotomac, a sports agent who repre-sented tennis players Arthur Ashe, IvanLendl, and Jimmy Connors. Through the
years, he’s operated on two Wimbledonchampions, 30 world-class tennis players,and one elite cricket player named SachinRamesh Tendulkar of India. All in all, he’soperated on roughly 11,000 people andconsulted with as many as 150,000 people.
Nirschl has given 500 talks (in eight for-eign countries); been published in 140medical magazines and journals; was themedical editor for World Tennis Magazinewhere he published 51 articles; and alsoproduced 10 videos on shoulder and elbowsurgical techniques.
“When I go to national meetings, peoplesay ‘thank you very much for what you did.’It’s been fascinating in a lot of ways when Ithink about it,” he said. He’s now taken acourse on how to write his memoirs, sothat’s on his to-do list.
Nirschl is the founder of the VirginiaSportsmedicine Institute and Nirschl Ortho-paedic Center for Sports Medicine and JointReconstruction (1974), and was the founder(1989) and director of the Nirschl Ortho-paedic Sports Medicine Fellowship programfor 25 years, where he trained and influ-enced orthopedic surgeons.
He’s mentored hundreds of medical stu-dents, family practice residents, orthopedicsurgery residents, family practice sports

Opinion
To the Editor:The following open letter was addressed to state
Sen. Steve Newman, chair of the Education andHealth Committee.
As graduates of Thomas JeffersonHigh School for Science and Tech-nology (TJHSST), we were deeplytroubled to read that the Education
and Health Committee of the Virginia StateSenate struck down Senate Bill 787, the pro-posal by state Sen. Scott Surovell to make theadmissions policies at Governor’s Schools suchas TJHSST more equitable. While debates will
continue about whetherSenator Surovell’s legisla-tion is the right instrument,its intent to significantly al-
ter Jefferson’s admissions procedure to accountfor class is sound. No serious action has beentaken on this issue at the state or local levelsince the school was designated as a magnetschool and that has to change. Outreach ef-forts have had modest success in the past, butthey are not enough to make Jefferson equi-table. For this reason, we strongly support theintent of the senator’s bill and ask the commit-tee to work with Senator Surovell to draft leg-islation to make progress on this urgent issue.
All of us attended Fairfax County PublicSchools. There’s one among us who still hasher yearbooks and class pictures from kinder-garten through 12th grade. And in those im-ages from schools like Saratoga ElementarySchool and Mark Twain Middle School are thesmiling faces of friends and classmates of allraces, as well as friends and classmates wholived in a nearby HUD housing development.None of the kids from that housing develop-ment made it into TJ, not one. And virtuallynone of the Black and Hispanic students inthose other photos were admitted either.
The racial and economic composition ofJefferson has been an annual news story justabout every year since it became a magnetschool, and it’s never good news. Last year, only17 Black and Hispanic students were admit-ted — 3.4 percent out of 490 students. Andonly eight students (1.6 percent) eligible forfree or reduced-price lunches (an indicator ofstudents living in low-income or poor families).This despite the fact that Fairfax County Pub-lic School students overall are 25.4 percentHispanic, 10.1 percent Black, and 29 percentare eligible for free or reduced-price lunches.
This disparity between Jefferson’s enrollmentand the racial and socioeconomic compositionof Fairfax County is unacceptable and easilyremedied. Countless elite institutions — espe-cially elite colleges — have modified their ad-missions procedures and requirements in re-cent years because they have realized that theirold criteria have long been leaving talent onthe table. They have softened their standard-ized testing requirements, engaged in admis-sions outreach, and sought out partners in highschools and middle schools to create a pipe-line of under-represented and low-income stu-dents to draw from. These students (whowould never have been admitted under the oldadmissions protocols) have thrived at theseelite institutions — often overperforming theirstandardized test scores. Yet Jefferson’s admis-
sions policies proceed ignorant of these devel-opments.
We live in a time when headlines and Twit-ter feeds constantly observe the pernicious ef-fects of systemic inequality and racism in thedaily lives of the poor and people of color. Andthe state of Virginia has a long legacy of rac-ism that the world was reminded of last yearduring and after the events that took place inCharlottesville. White supremacy is not justNazis marching in the streets; it also lies inmaintaining a high school that excludes thepoor, African-Americans, and Latinos, and thencalls itself the greatest, most meritocratic highschool in the country. You and the other 12members of the committee who struck downthis modest change to Jefferson’s admissionspolicies have voted to maintain a blatantly rac-ist and classist flagship school.
This is a shameful display when it wouldhave been so easy for you to answer the im-passioned requests of so many parents andalumni, as well as Senator Surovell. We un-derstand that the committee has framed itsobjections to this bill in terms of local rights.While in many cases local school boards arebest situated to make local educational deci-sions, when a board ignores a pressing issueaffecting its most vulnerable anddisempowered constituents over decades, thestate has an obligation to step in and remedythe injustice.
The one way that Jefferson, with the help ofthe Fairfax County School Board and the Vir-ginia legislature, could truly differentiate it-self is by showing that it is working deliber-ately and intentionally to combat the structuraland systematic racism and class privilege thatfeeds students into the school. Thousands ofschools and nonprofits around the countryhave already made meaningful change in thisarea, it’s time for Jefferson and those in chargeto take responsibility for this problem and dothe same.

Longfellow Team on World StageFour seventh graders from Longfellow Middle School – Joshua John,Elliott J. Lee, Daniel Lian, and Anisha Talreja – won the National Litera-ture Competition on Jan. 31, 2018 at Central Connecticut State Univer-sity. Not only did they place first in their preliminary heat, but they wenton to win the USA national finals and will be the American representa-tives at the Kids Literature Quiz World Championships in Auckland, NewZealand this coming July.
Excited chatter filled the room as girlsfrom ages 6-13 watched their pinewoodcars race down the track. This was theGirl Scouts Pinewood Derby, an eventand activity usually done by Cub Scouts(or Boy Scouts) but has now slowly beenintegrated within the Girl Scouts com-munity.
“It started as a journey project twoyears ago, where we only had one troopparticipate in it; about two years later[the troop] did it for the service unit –and now this is our second time doing itfor the service unit,” said McLean’s Troop1692 Leader Jennifer Schuette.
Schuette is a Teen Troop leader andhad her team of young teenage girls leadthe event where 105 girls from all levelsof Girl Scouts raced their cars on thewooden track. Alicia Gonzalez, a SeniorGirl Scout for Troop 1692, was eager toshowcase young girls being exposed tothe STEM field by participating in thisderby. “It’s a great way to connect STEMwith creativity to these younger girls;We’ve had an incredible turnout here
today. We feel that anything the CubScouts can do, [Girl Scouts] can too – sowe wanted to give the Girl Scouts theopportunity.”
At the end of the derby, held inMcLean, two of the three winners wereDaisies, Girl Scouts who are between theages of 5-7 years.

Flu season is in full swing and,according to the latest statis-tics from the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention,
it’s packing a powerful punch. Accord-ing to the most recent CDC report, theflu is widespread in most states, andhealthcare providers report an uptickin influenza-related hospitalizationsand deaths.
While The thought of eating mightbe unappealing to someone who isbattling the flu, nutritionists andhealth care providers say certain nu-trients are essential for keeping upone’s strength. Soothing and healingingredients are key allies when fight-ing this season’s virus.
“The thing you need most is water,” saidSara Ducey, professor of Nutrition and Foodat Montgomery College. “You need suffi-cient water to bring nutrients to your cellsand take away the waste. As you hydrate itgives your immune system more of a boost.”
Protein, says Ducey, will help one’s bodybuild and maintain strength. “It’s importantfor supporting the immune system and forhelping your body breakdown medicineslike Tylenol,” she said. “One of the best
sources for protein when you have the fluis real, bone-based soup, not ramen noodlesthat have chicken flavoring.”
Bone broths, like those made fromchicken or beef, offer hydration, protein andamino acids, added Ducey. Broth can besipped or used as the base for a soup. “It’s anatural healing and restorative food,” shesaid. “At this point, everyone can assumethat they’re going to get the flu and pre-pare some bone-based broth ahead of timeand keep it on hand in the freezer. You canalso buy boxes of it.”
Fresh ginger can work as an anti-inflam-matory, soothe an upset stomach and boostone’s immune system, says nutritionist
Debbie Hynes of Practical Ayurveda. “Warmwater with grated ginger and honey cansoothe a sore throat or upset stomach,” shesaid.
Foods that are high in Vitamin C like or-ange juice, particularly a variety that con-tains pulp, can boost your immune system,says Ducey. “It’s a powerful antioxidantwhich is important for keeping your musclesstrong especially when you’re sick.”
Garlic is another ingredient that Hyneslikes to include in flu-fighting recipes. “Ithas antibacterial properties, especially whenit’s raw,” she said. “I add it to chicken brothalong with chili flakes to sip when some-one in my family has a stuffy head. Thecombination can clear the sinuses. And ifyou can stand to eat it, raw garlic has thestrongest antibacterial properties.”
Turmeric works as an anti-inflammatoryand antioxidant, says Hynes. “It’s beenknown for those properties in Chinese medi-cine for centuries,” she said.
Ducey uses the spice in a creamy drinkshe creates called Golden Milk. “I take a cupof milk, a teaspoon or two of honey and alittle black pepper and put it in the micro-wave to warm it,” she said. “You can usealmond or coconut milk if you can’t toler-ate dairy. Turmeric is very poorly absorbedby the body, so adding a little black pepperhelps absorb it. It sounds bizarre, but it’sstrangely comforting.”

medicine fellows, and post-graduate or-thopedic sports medicine fellows. Two ofhis fellows, Francis O’Connor, M.D. andRobert Wilder, M.D., have become chairmenof medical school departments.
Nirschl was the first doctor in the coun-try in 1974 to put Nautilus exercise ma-chines in a physical therapy unit. He devel-oped an education program with 45 gradu-ate orthopedic surgeons who spent a yearlearning about non-surgical and surgicaltechniques.
He is the original faculty director of thePrimary Care Sports Medicine Fellowshipfor the Uniformed Services University of theHealth Sciences in Bethesda, Md., the medi-cal school for the military. “They take fourdoctors a year and they have formed fam-ily practice sports medicine programs atmilitary installations around the world,” hesaid.
He was a founding member of the U.S.Tennis Association’s Sports Science Commit-tee (1988), and he was appointed orthope-dic consultant to the President’s Council onPhysical Fitness and Sport during theReagan years (1982-89).
Nirschl was born and raised in South Mil-waukee, Wisc.; he studied for two years atCollege of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts(1951-53), then transferred to MarquetteUniversity in Milwaukee, but did not com-plete his bachelor’s degree.
He graduated from the Medical Collegeof Wisconsin (1958), then interned for oneyear at St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, North-ern Minnesota (1958-59). He also earneda master’s degree in orthopaedic surgeryfrom the University of Minnesota (1963-66).
He completed his residency in orthope-dic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in 1963, wasan orthopedic surgeon and Lieutenant Com-mander in the U.S. Navy for several years,and then came to Washington, D.C., in 1965and worked at Georgetown UniversityMedical Center as well as in private prac-tice associated with Virginia Hospital Cen-ter, then called Arlington Hospital.
OVER THE YEARS, he became the teamphysician for the Bishop O’Connell andYorktown High School football teams, andworked with W.T. Woodson, Charles County,Md., and was team physician forMarymount University.
He has been recognized as one of thearea’s “Top Doctors” for many years inWashingtonian and Northern Virginiamagazines, and has been listed in top doc-tors in America by the Consumers’ ResearchCouncil of America. Today, 55 years later,he is still practicing medicine three days aweek, doing consultations and second opin-ions, but has stopped doing surgery. “Thereare a lot of patients who show up for sec-ond opinions so I use my experience andwisdom,” he said.
A parishioner of St. Agnes Church in Ar-lington, he said the concepts of Catholicismand the concepts of the Mayo Clinic aresimilar — and that is to do what’s in thebest interest of the patient. “You want todo what’s good for society and mankind andfor your patients, so Catholicism plays amajor role in that,” he said.
For his legacy, he hopes to be rememberedfavorably. “My start was on the elbow andshoulder, and also the alteration and un-derstanding of tendon failure and develop-ment of rehabilitation programs and theeducation of young doctors. And also de-livering clinical care, to be able to be ofsome help to the patient population. Thelegacy of trying to deliver quality and cut-ting-edge care and medical research on thebasis of what we’ve learned,” he said.
He ended by adding: “One of my mostimportant ‘Nirschlisms’ for young doctorsis, No. 1, you identify the pathology cor-rectly; No. 2, you deal with it in an appro-priate manner; No. 3, you leave the goodstuff alone; and No. 4, you get the hell outof there when something bad happens.That’s my advice to young surgeons whenthey’re doing an operation.”
Nirschl is married to wife Mary Ann for59 years; the couple has three grown chil-dren: daughters Suzanne and Julie, and sonRobert C.

Kenny Lourie is an Advertising Representative forThe Potomac Almanac & The Connection Newspapers.
By KENNETH B. LOURIE
Nearly nine years into a “13 month totwo-year” prognosis, I can hardly believe mygood fortune. And though I rarely look a gift-oncologist in the stethoscope, I am happynonetheless to count my blessings as I con-tinue to look ahead rather than stress behind,and try not think about what was said andwhen.
At the initial “Team Lourie” meeting withmy oncologist, I was told that there was nocure for lung cancer. I could be treatedthough. As to whether I might live beyondtwo years, I remember my oncologistresponding to our desperate query by say-ing: “Could you be the one? Sure.”Reassuring it wasn’t, but hopeful? It sort ofwas.
As the years have passed and research intolung cancer has grown, an interim step to acure has evolved: treating lung cancer as achronic (has opposed to acute/dire) disease,similar to diabetes, as an example. Not as yetcurable, but manageable over a longer periodof time. A disease with which, I’m fond ofsaying, one can live. Live beyond the applica-ble word because, I have to tell you, at thebeginning of my treatment, based on whatmy oncologist had described, living was along way from what he was anticipating myoutcome would be. Nevertheless, I begantreatment the following week and the rest ishistory you regular readers have been privy tosince June of ‘09 when I first published a “ca-ncer” column (as I call them).
Feb. 20, 2018 will be nine years since myinternal medicine office called me at workwith the results of my previous week’s biopsy.He said the tumor was malignant. I rememberasking him what that meant. (Duh!). He saidhe’d rather let the oncologist answer anyquestions and referred me to the doctor, thesame doctor with whom I’ve been a patientall these years. Sure enough, a week later weheard the news: non-small cell lung cancer,stage IV. And I’ve been up to my whatsis inreal or imagined anxiety ever since.
And I’m still present and accounted for asare more and more of us previously-characterized-as-terminal, non-small cell lungcancer “diagnosees.” We are not just patientsany more. We are survivors, surviving longerthan ever before. We are not cured but nei-ther are we dying. Our treatments are modi-fied when the results warrant it and life con-tinues to go on. As much as a cure would be,and continues to be, the goal, life continues,relatively normally, for many of us. It’sunlikely however, that we’ll ever get out fromunderneath the weight of our cancer diagno-sis. Rather than dying from it though, we’renow able to live with it months/years longerthan many patients previously diagnosedwithin the disease.
So what’s the next step? Maybe a bigger,bouncier, longer step than before, but morethan likely, more of the same, moving for-ward, one step at a time. To one whose pre-sent was hardly a given nine years ago andwhose future seemed like a taken – away,being able now to actually live in the presentwithout fearing/forfeiting the future is theopposite scenario many of us lung cancerpatients, especially those of as staged as IV,ever imagined. Day by day was the best wecould muster.
Now we’re mustering months and yearsand living longer more fulfilling lives. We’renot victims anymore nor are we victimized byour circumstances. We’re advocating andbeing advocated for. We don’t exactly havelung cancer on the run, but we may have iton the trot. I don’t know if I’ll live to see acure but I have lived long enough to havegiven myself a nickname, one which I’m mostproud to have earned.
