Travell, my mother, was born on 17 December 1901, in her parents' home in a fashionable section of lower New York City. She decided to study medicine at an early age; in this she was inspired by her father, Willard Travell, MD, who was at first a general practitioner. Willard Travell soon became interested in the relief of pain through physical medicine and x-ray therapy, fields in which he is recognized as an early pioneer. Janet Travell's mother, Janet Davidson Travell, was beautiful and talented.

She played the piano, sang lullabies to her 2 daughters, and entertained artists, writers, and musicians in her evenings-at-home. My mother's older sister, Ginny, also studied medicine. She became Virginia T. Weeks, MD, a respected pediatrician who practiced most of her life in Brooklyn Heights.My mother was nicknamed “Bobby” because her sister couldn't say “baby.” She was a tomboy who climbed trees and hit tennis balls against a fence in the back yard at 27 East 11th Street.

The back yard was home to a great-horned hoot owl, a partridge, an eel, baby chickens, and a snapping turtle. These were animals that the Travells had brought back to Manhattan from their summer home, 120 acres of farmland with an old Colonial house and outbuildings in the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts. The summer home remains in the family to this day. 1 Janet's sister, Virginia, and their father, Willard Travell, admire the tall hollyhocks at the family's Merryfield Farm, Sheffield, Massachusetts, in the summer of 1936.(Photo courtesy of the author)After graduating from the Brearley School, my mother attended Wellesley College, the alma mater of her mother and sister, where she majored in inorganic chemistry. In her junior year, she was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society and, at her graduation in 1922, she was named a Durant Scholar.

She was also the winner of several college singles tennis championships and of many doubles titles with Ginny. In 1926, she received her MD degree from the Cornell University Medical College in New York City, where she graduated at the head of her class. That summer and fall, Janet took an extensive tour of Europe “to attain some perspective” on herself. Then, from January 1927 through December 1928, she interned at the Cornell Medical Division of the New York Hospital, where she was “the only woman doctor on its staff.”The Travells moved from 11th Street to 40 Fifth Avenue, and then on to 9 West 16th Street, a 5-story brownstone situated conveniently catty-corner across from the old New York Hospital, where my mother was house physician for the last 6 months of her internship. My grandmother, Janet Davidson Travell, supervised the remodeling of the family's new home.

The front stoop was removed and an elevator was added shortly before my grandmother died of a myocardial infarction in the fall of 1928. My parents were married less than a year later, in June 1929.Bobby Travell had been introduced to her future husband—the dashing John W.G.

“Jack” Powell, a Southern gentleman, Wall Street banker, and talented college athlete—at a white-tie ball in February 1927 at the Hotel Astor. She wrote in her autobiography, Office Hours: Day and Night, published in 1968, that they “fell in love on the dance floor that night” and have “danced through life together ever since”. After their wedding, Jack Powell moved into 9 West 16th Street with his wife and widowed father-in-law. Willard Travell began to practice medicine in a suite of offices on the ground floor, and my mother soon joined him. 2 Jack and Janet Powell with their pets, at the Paul M.

The girls are (left to right) Janet and Virginia.(Photo courtesy of the author)From 1936 to 1945, my mother “served as assistant, then associate, visiting cardiologist at Sea View Hospital in Staten Island, and, under a fellowship grant from the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, she studied arterial disease at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City from 1939 to 1941. There she became absorbed in the study of new pain-relieving techniques.” Later, she joined the staff of the hospital “and, at the time of her White House appointment, was an associate physician in Beth Israel's cardiovascular research unit. After working as a cardiologist, with particular emphasis upon chest pain, she moved into the field of orthopedic medicine, where she specialized in the relief of musculoskeletal pain.”My mother wrote in her autobiography that “the Cardiac Consultation Service at Sea View, the city hospital for tuberculosis on Staten Island to which I was appointed in 1936, supplied the conditions that crystallized my emerging interest in muscular pain. Most patients there had life-threatening pulmonary disease, but some of them complained more about devastating pain in their shoulders and arms than about their major illness.
