Life
Joseph Garland's father and grandfather were general practitioners in Gloucester, Massachusetts . Garland received his degree from Harvard Medical School in 1919. He then focused his endeavors on pediatrics . From 1923 to 1954 he was a member of the Massachusetts General Hospital . In 1933 he published a case report with Edward Franklin Bland and Paul Dudley White about a three-month-old infant who died of left ventricular failure. The autopsy revealed that the left coronary artery was malformed and arose from the pulmonary artery. Because of this initial description, the malformation is now called Bland-White-Garland syndrome . From 1938 on he was a member of the editorial board of the New England Journal of Medicine . In 1947 he actually joined the editorial team of this journal with the intention of dedicating half of his working hours to it. However, at the same time the acting editor, Robert Nason Nye , fell ill and Garland took over the post entirely. During the next 20 years he played a major role in making the New England Journal of Medicine one of the most important medical journals in the world.
In 1953 Garland was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
