This guy's accolades were off the chart.
Is considered the "father" of modern organ transplantation.
He was listed in a book of the 1000 most important people of the entire Millennium. Won just about everything but the Nobel Prize. Like Jonas Salk, I believe he will go down as an all-time Nobel whiff (can't win posthumously).
Absolutely played a major role in establishing the reputation of Pitt's medical center and was singularly responsible for making it the world epicenter for organ transplantation.
Helped author over 2200 academic publications which have been cited over 1000 times per year since 1985.
Most modern transplant surgeons can trace their linage of training back to him. 90% of all transplant centers are headed by Starzl-directly-trained surgeons, or second generation surgeons.
