1922–2008

Dr Paul Found died at home in Kelowna on 16 March 2008.

Dr Norman Found, Paul Found’s father, graduated from the University of Toronto in 1919. Norman was a medical missionary in Korea from 1921 to 1935. Paul was born in Seoul and completed grade 7 there. In 1935 the family left Korea and traveled via the Trans-Siberian Railway, a great adventure for 12-year-old Paul. The family spent the summer in Vienna, where Dr Found enrolled in postgraduate studies.

Paul completed his higher edu­cation in Toronto. He entered the University of Toronto Medical School Accelerated Wartime Program and graduated in February 1945. Following graduation and internship, Paul was posted to Fredericton Military Hospital and was discharged in August 1945.

In Toronto, he completed an ENT certification program, with a further year of training at Shaughnessy Military Hospital in Vancouver. He joined Dr L.A.C. Panton in Kelowna in September 1950 and remained in active practice until 1987. 

Paul loved playing tennis, which he learned as a child in Korea. He continued to play with his friends until he was diagnosed with myelody­splasia in 2006. During the winter he enjoyed cross-county skiing with Dr John Harland.

Paul was an avid reader and was very interested in history and world affairs. One of his major interests was genealogy. 

Paul and his wife, Betty, enjoyed traveling the world and made two trips to Korea.

Paul is survived by Betty and by his loving family Janice (Colin), Elaine (Rick), Valerie (Robin), and grandchildren Michael, Katharine, Bradley, and Della.

Above is the information needed to cite this article in your paper or presentation. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommends the following citation style, which is the now nearly universally accepted citation style for scientific papers:
Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL, Marion DW, Palmer AM, Schiding JK, et al. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients. N Engl J Med. 2002;347:284-7.

About the ICMJE and citation styles

The ICMJE is small group of editors of general medical journals who first met informally in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1978 to establish guidelines for the format of manuscripts submitted to their journals. The group became known as the Vancouver Group. Its requirements for manuscripts, including formats for bibliographic references developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), were first published in 1979. The Vancouver Group expanded and evolved into the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which meets annually. The ICMJE created the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals to help authors and editors create and distribute accurate, clear, easily accessible reports of biomedical studies.

An alternate version of ICMJE style is to additionally list the month an issue number, but since most journals use continuous pagination, the shorter form provides sufficient information to locate the reference. The NLM now lists all authors.

BCMJ standard citation style is a slight modification of the ICMJE/NLM style, as follows:

  • Only the first three authors are listed, followed by "et al."
  • There is no period after the journal name.
  • Page numbers are not abbreviated.
