Biographical note

Herbert Merton Greene was born October 5, 1878 in Mitchell County, North Carolina. He attended publicschools in North Carolina and Washington.

Out of a class of 17, Greene was among the University of Oregon Medical School class of 1904graduates. After serving his internship at Multnomah County Hospital, the North Pacific Sanitarium, andDr. Coffey Hospital, Greene completed post-graduate work at the Vanderbilt Clinic in New York.

In addition to serving as chief surgeon at Camp Lewis during World War I, Greene had a private practicein rural Lacrosse, WA before returning to Portland in 1918. From 1918 until his retirement in 1957,Greene taught at the medical school, maintained a private practice in the Medical Arts Building, and ran asmall business out of his home, selling barbicide and pharmaceutical preparations.

Greene was also very active in the community with organizations such as the Freemasons and the Anglo-Saxon Christian Association. Among other accomplishments, Greene developed the Greene specialpuncture needle, which was designed to minimize trauma associated with spinal taps.

He died in 1962 at the age of 87 after a long struggle with deteriorating health and diminished eyesight- the after effects of radiation exposure from his time as operator of the first x-ray machine on the WestCoast, back in 1898.
