Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- The first successful removal of the parathyroid may have been carried out in 1928 by medical doctor Isaac Y Olch, whose intern had noticed elevated calcium levels in an elderly patient with muscle weakness. Prior to this surgery, patients with removed parathyroid gland typically died from muscular tetani.[3]
