George Goodfellow, M.D.
In the 1880's, years before Arizona became a state and many years before
physicians were licensed in Arizona, George Goodfellow, M.D. was a Tombstone
physician well known for treating famous gunfighters such as Doc Holliday,
Morgan and Virgil Earp and Billy Clanton.
After graduating with honors from the Wooster University School of Medicine in
1876, Dr. Goodfellow moved to Prescott, Arizona. Working only briefly as a
physician at a mine, he quit to become an Army surgeon at Fort Lowell. By 1879,
Dr. Goodfellow, now a resident of Tombstone, had a notorious reputation for his
drinking and temper and was often called upon to treat wounds and injuries
brought on by his own hand and gun. As a surgeon, he also treated gun shot
wounds, often inflicted after a fight over cards.
In addition to surgical duties, Dr. Goodfellow cared for injured miners,
delivered babies, performed appendectomies and set broken bones. He spent time
researching cures for tuberculosis and other epidemics, and published several
medical opinions on rattlesnake and Gila monster bites in the Scientific
American and Southern California Practitioner.
In 1891, Dr. Goodfellow moved to Tucson where he served as head surgeon for the
Southern Pacific Railroad and became the Arizona Territory Health Officer. Seven
years later, he joined the U.S. Army as General William Shafer's personal
physician. Dr. Goodfellow went on to serve in all the major battles of the
Spanish American War and acted as the interpreter and negotiator during the
Spanish surrender. After establishing a successful practice in San Francisco,
Dr. Goodfellow died of what is described as "multiple neuritis" in 1910 at the
age of 54.
