Philip Mininberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philip M. Mininberg[1] (c. 1889 - 1951) was "an obstetrician, who owned and operated Brooklyn Doctors Hospital, formerly the Borough Park Maternity Hospital."[2] He also owned a nurses' residence across the street.[3]

"The application of" adrenalin on a boy described as "born dead" was "first made on babies by Dr. Philip Mininberg."[4][5]

Early life[]

Mininberg[6] was born in the Ukraine and "brought to the United States as a child." He "received his medical diploma from New York University in 1915."[2][7]

Career[]

In 1923, Mininberg "successfully revived by unusual means" a baby boy (a twin to a girl) "born apparently dead."[5] The key was that he "pierced the chest wall" and "injected a solution of adrenalin directly into the heart."[8] That baby was more than two pounds; in 1949, the technique was used on a 15 oz premature infant.[9]

Mininberg "practiced medicine in Brooklyn" beginning 1915. The last 28 years of his life he "owned and operated" Brooklyn Doctors Hospital (formerly Boro Park Maternity Hospital).[2]

Family[]

He was survived by his wife, their three children, four sisters, and a grandson.[2]
