Ambrose Howell Storck was a surgeon. He graduated from Tulane Medical School in 1925 and
performed his
internship and residencies at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, 1926-1931. In the latter year he
joined the Tulane
faculty, started a private surgical practice, and continued his affiliation with Charity Hospital, along
with other area
hospitals. He was commissioned as a Major in the U.S. Army Medical Reserve in 1940 and served in
the
Professional Service Division, Surgical Branch, Surgeon General's Office; as Consultant in General
Surgery, Office
of Chief Surgeon, European Theatre of Operations; and as Chief of Surgical Service, DeWitt General
Hospital in
Auburn, California. Following World War II, Dr. Storck served as Consultant in General Surgery for
the Veterans
Administration in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, 1946-1954. He was an active member of several
local,
national, and international professional organizations, as well as several New Orleans civic and social
groups. Dr.
Storck authored numerous articles in various medical journals.
His papers were accessioned in March, 1985, after being abandoned in a Tulane Medical Center
building scheduled
for demolition.
The papers include correspondence, reports, manuscripts, and reprints of articles from various
medical journals.
They are arranged into series as follows: Personal, Tulane University, Military, Veterans
Administration,
Organizations, Manuscripts, and Reprints. Generally, the first five series include primarily
correspondence and
reports. Some of the manuscript files also include correspondence relative to that project. One
manuscript, the
Anesthesia Death Rate study, is included because Dr. Storck participated in the project. A second,
First Aid for
Soldiers, is of uncertain origin; Dr. Storck may have merely reviewed the work as part of his
responsibilities in the
E.T.O.
Correspondents include Alton Ochsner, Michael Debakey, Loyal Davis, Rufus Harris, and deLesseps S.
Morrison.
