HISTORY
Thomas Anthony Dooley was born in St. Louis January 17, 1927, the first of three sons born to Thomas and Agnes Dooley. Thomas Sr. was general manager of an American Car and Foundry plant. Dooley attended grade school at St. Roch's and Barat Hall. Later, he took private piano lessons and soloed with many orchestras in St. Louis. His family urged him to consider a career as a concert pianist and enrolled him in the Julliard School of Music during his teens, but by this time he intended to pursue a medical career. From 1940-1944, Dooley attended St. Louis University High School where he developed into a swimming and track star. (WHMC collection #SL 54, Sell, Mary Anne, Diaries and Social Calendars, 1941-1944 contains references to Dooley from this period.) After high school, Dooley began his undergraduate studies at Notre Dame University.
A brother from his mother's first marriage, Earle Manzelman, Jr., who died in battle during World War II, had inspired in Dooley a strong sense of patriotism. He interrupted his undergraduate studies by enlisting in the United States Navy as a Medical Corpsmen in 1944. Dooley received an honorable discharge from the Navy on July 19, 1946, whereupon he enlisted in the Naval Reserves. He resumed his studies at Notre Dame, earning extra money by playing piano in supper clubs and night clubs, and by conducting Greyhound tours through New Orleans, Denver, and New York in the summer. Dooley's father, Thomas Dooley, Jr., died in November 1948.
Dooley received his Doctor of Medicine degree from St. Louis University in 1953 and accepted a medical internship as a lieutenant in the Navy. He then volunteered for duty aboard the U.S.S. Montague, a cargo ship used to transport refugees from North to South Vietnam.
In May 1954, the Geneva Treaty divided Vietnam at the 17th parallel into two political zones. People north of the 17th parallel lived under the Viet Minh government, and those south of the 17th parallel lived under the government of Ngo Dinh Diem. Anyone living in one zone who wished to go to another zone was given three hundred days and aid in making this transfer. Hanoi and Haiphong remained free zones until May 1955.
In August 1954, Dooley transferred to Task Force Ninety, a unit participating in the evacuation of over 600,000 North Vietnamese known as the "Passage to Freedom." Here Dooley served as a French interpreter and medical officer for a Preventative Medicine Unit in Haiphong. Dooley eventually oversaw the building and maintenance of refugee camps in Haiphong until May 1955, when the Viet Minh took over the city.
Dooley returned to the United States later in 1955 and published his first book, a Vietnam memoir, entitled Deliver Us From Evil (1956). The book climbed the best-seller lists and appeared in a condensed form in Reader's Digest, which also reprinted it in eleven languages. Also in 1955, the United States Chamber of Commerce listed Dooley among the ten "Outstanding Men of America." Dooley became the youngest United States Navy Medical Corps officer in history to receive the Navy's Legion of Merit. The Navy selected Dooley to give lectures in the United States about its "Passage to Freedom" work. Dooley also received the highest national decoration of the South Vietnamese government.
In 1956, Dooley resigned from the Navy and persuaded the International Rescue Committee to sponsor bush hospitals in Southeast Asia. With proceeds from Deliver Us From Evil, Dooley and three former Navy corpsmen, established a hospital at Nam Tha, a village five miles south of the China border in Laos. In an article entitled "Why I'm A Jungle Medic," printed in Think magazine, June 1958, Dooley said they chose Laos because the country, with 3,000,000 people, had only one "bonafide" doctor.
St. Patrick's hospital in Nam Tha consisted of a surgical ward with fifteen beds, a medical ward with mats for thirty people, an operating room, and an out-patient clinic. Dooley's team constructed the buildings in the style of the indigenous architecture, using bamboo and thatch. The hospital had no electricity, x-ray equipment, plumbing, or air-conditioning. Dooley treated about one hundred patients a day for such diseases as tuberculosis, malnutrition, diptheria, dysentery, pneumonia, small-pox, and burns.
In October 1957, Dooley and his staff turned St. Patrick's over to the government of Laos, to be run by Dooley trained Laotians. During his stay in Nam Tha, Dooley wrote a second book, The Edge of Tomorrow (1958), another best-seller, which told how his five-man team started a jungle hospital in the Kingdom of Laos.
In November 1957, under the auspices of the International Rescue Committee, and with the help of Dr. Peter Commanduras of George Washington Medical School, Dooley started the Medical International Cooperation Organization, or MEDICO. MEDICO sought to provide person-to-person medical service to the villagers of foreign lands. A non-sectarian group, it wanted to build, stock, supply, and train staff for small hospitals along the Iron and Bamboo curtains. After sixteen months, MEDICO planned to turn over the hospitals to the host country's government. The organization received hundreds of thousands of dollars in medicine and supplies from pharmaceutical houses throughout the United States. MEDICO also received money from private donations.
Early in 1958, Dooley established his second hospital in Laos at Muong Sing near the China border. By this time, Dooley had become a notable celebrity and hero to many. He appeared on Arthur Godfrey's radio show, Jack Paar's Tonight Show, and Ralph Edwards' This Is Your Life. Time, Life, and Look profiled him, and KMOX Radio in St. Louis gave Dooley his own Sunday night broadcast from Laos entitled "That Free Men May Live."
Dooley's fund-raising lectures inspired many people in the United States to organize in support of MEDICO. High school students organized "Duds for Dooley Days." Teresa Gallagher, a secretary for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in New York, and Dooley's volunteer secretary, organized New York secretaries to ship "Dooley Kits" full of soap, toothpaste, and lollipops to the people in Laos. Gallagher's "disc team" secretaries also spent after-hours work time transcribing Dooley's correspondence from Sound Scriber dictaphone discs he used to facilitate answering his large volume of mail.
In August 1959, Dooley underwent chest surgery for melanoma, a rapidly spreading form of cancer. The Columbia Broadcasting System filmed the three hour operation at New York's Memorial Hospital. Dooley announced afterward, "I am not going to quit. I will continue to guide and lead my hospitals until my back, my brain, my blood and my bones collapse." Dooley returned to the lecture circuit in October, raising one million dollars for MEDICO. On Christmas day in 1959, Dooley flew back to his hospital in Muong Sing.
In 1960, Dooley published his third book, The Night They Burned the Mountain (1960). The book tells of MEDICO's founding and Dooley's struggle against cancer while helping the sick in Laos. In April of that same year, CBS televised Biography of a Cancer, a one-hour documentary including Howard K. Smith's interviews with Dooley and the actual filming of Dooley's cancer operation.
In June 1960, Dooley received an honorary Doctor of Science from Notre Dame University. Seven months later, Dooley flew back to New York Memorial Hospital. The cancer had spread to his lungs, liver, spleen, heart, and brain. Dooley died January 18, 1961, one day after his thirty-fourth birthday. His funeral was held January 23, 1961, at the St. Louis Cathedral. Reverend Leo C. Byrne, Bishop of St. Louis, said the Mass.
Dooley was buried beside his father in Calvary Cemetery. On May 27, 1961, Congress authorized the issuance of a commemorative gold medal to honor Dooley and his work. President Kennedy presented the medal to Dooley's mother, Agnes Dooley, at a White House ceremony on June 7, 1962. Kennedy commended Dooley for providing a model of American compassion before the rest of the world.
Without its charismatic fund-raiser, MEDICO's contributions decreased, forcing the organization to close four hospitals before the end of 1961, including Dooley's hospital in Muong Sing. In March 1962, MEDICO merged with the food distribution agency CARE. MEDICO maintained its name to recognize Dooley's work, but ceased to exist as a separate agency.
In September 1961, Verne Chaney, a Monterey, California chest surgeon and former director of MEDICO's Asian programs, enlisted the support of Dooley's relatives and associates, and started the Thomas A. Dooley Foundation. During Chaney's tenure as director, however, foundation members disagreed with him over its fiscal management. Chaney attributed the disagreements to a lack of objectivity among the foundation members.
In the summer of 1970, Teresa Gallagher, a charter member of the Thomas A. Dooley Foundation, and other members of the Foundation, left to establish the Tom Dooley Heritage, a voluntary agency founded to carry on Dooley's work. The Heritage built and maintained Tom Dooley Hospital, a forty bed bush hospital at Ban Nam Yao in northeastern Thailand twenty miles from the Laos border. The hospital served Thai villagers and Laotian refugees.
In the mid-1970s, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, an order of priests that worked with Dooley in Laos, began an effort to have Dooley canonized. Reverend Maynard Kegler, O.M.I., director of King's House of Retreats in Buffalo, Minnesota, became the American promoter of the Dr. Thomas A. Dooley Cause. Father Kegler gathered statements from more than thirty people who believed in Dooley's sainthood. The Vatican required a search for Dooley documents, a definitive Dooley biography, and evidence of two Dooley miracles.
Kegler's sainthood investigation revealed Dooley's connection with the Central Intelligence Agency. Through the Freedom of Information Act, Kegler obtained nearly five hundred CIA documents he said revealed that Dooley kept the agency posted on troop movements and villager sentiments around his Laotian hospitals. Despite the revelation, Dooley's cause was accepted for consideration by the Vatican.
Tom Dooley's legacy of medical service endured into the 1980s. The Tom Dooley Heritage, under the leadership of Teresa Gallagher, continued to maintain a Dooley Memorial Hospital in Thailand and distributed funds, clothing and medicine to Asian hospitals and orphanages. Verne Chaney continued to raise funds for the Dooley Foundation-INTERMED projects, including a "Goats For Kids" program intended to solicit contributions to buy goats for undernourished children in Africa. Several film projects on Tom Dooley's life also remained in the planning stages.
