Abstract:
On his way to Strasbourg to work with Dr. Rene Leriche for a year, DeBakey recorded his activities and impressions as he traveled. These included his dislike for New York City, the company and cuisine on board the ship, his delight on seeing his fiancee, Diana Cooper, when she met his ship at Le Havre, and the high prices in Paris. He also related a humorous story of being brought beer when he inquired about a bath at his Paris hotel. The final entries are about his first days at Leriche's clinic, and include detailed information about Strasbourg and Leriche that DeBakey used several years later in an article titled "The Clinic of Professor Rene Leriche."
