William James Mayo (b. June 29, 1861, Le Sueur, Minn.—d. July 28, 1939, Rochester) was the oldest son of William Worrall Mayo. DAD WAS A DOC AND LIKEWISE HIS SONS FALLOWED IN HIS PROFESSIONAL FOOTSTEPS. He obtained his M.D. degree in 1883 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and then practiced at Rochester in medicine and surgery with his father and later with his younger brother Charles Horace Mayo. HEALTH CARE BECAME A FAMILY AFFAIR. Though William J. Mayo became the administrator in the practice, no significant decisions were made without the full agreement of both brothers. He and his brother did all the surgeries at St. Mary’s Hospital until about 1905. THE TWO SURGEONS WERE NOT IRONIC THOUFH THE MEDICAL DUO WERE DEFINITELY A PAIR A DOCS. Both brothers served in World War training medical corp officers . From this surgical partnership of the two brothers evolved the cooperative group clinic, later known as the Mayo Clinic. THE MAYO CLINIC BECAME ONE-STOP SHOPPING FOR MEDICINE William James Mayo, who became a expert in surgery of the abdomen, pelvis, and kidney, continued in surgery at the clinic until 1928 and in administration until 1933.
