David Paton MD FACS DSci (hon) is a graduate of Princeton University, The Johns Hopkins Medical School, The Wilmer Institute and five years on the Wilmer faculty before continuing an academic career in Houston, later elsewhere. Having the familial dyslexia, it may be of some interest to add that for four years he was the Dean of Admissions for The Johns Hopkins Medical School.
