Obituary - Surgeon Dies of Heart Attack While He Is Operating, Louisville Courier-Journal (November 24, 1956)
Another Tries Unsuccessfully To Revive Him
Dr. Charles Hugh Maguire, 46, suffered a fatal heart attack at 9 a.m. yesterday while performing an operation in St. Joseph infirmary.
When the surgeon collapsed, he was placed on an operating table. Another surgeon, a chest specialist, opened Dr. Maguire's chest cavity and massaged the stricken physician's heart for 25 minutes in an unsuccessful effort to revive him.
Dr. Maguire's patient was a nurse who had assisted him in many operations. She was suffering from varicose veins. Dr. Maguire had just made the incision when he collapsed.
Nurse Doing Well
Two other surgeons took over the operation and completed it. The nurse is doing well.
Dr. George F. Dwyer, Jefferson County coroner, later gave a verdict of heart attack as the cause of Dr. Maguire's death.
Dr. Maguire, of 1420 St. James Court, suspected he had a mild heart ailment and was awaiting test results from a heart specialist who had told him to "take it easy."
Dr. Maguire was a native of Jacksonville, Fla. He spent his youth in Williamsburg and Louisville. He attended Cumberland College, Williamsburg, and was a University of Kentucky graduate. He completed his medical studies at the University of Louisville in 1936.
Member of Many Organizations
He served as chief of surgery at St. Joseph Infirmary from 1949 to 1953 and was on the hospital's staff. He was a professor of surgery at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
Dr. Maguire was a member of the American Board of Surgery, the Southeastern, Southern, and Central Surgical associations, and American Association for The Surgery of Trauman.
He was a diplomat of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the local, state and American medical associations, and about 15 other medical groups.
He belong to Alpha Omega Alpha, honorary medical society, and Alpha Kappa Kappa and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He was a member of the Pendennis Club.
