Details?[edit]

Dr. Mohs's first name appears variously in Google results as Frederic and Frederick (and somewhere in Wikipedia as Frederik), the date of his invention of the Mohs Procedure as 1936 and 1938, and the date of his death as 2002 and 2003. Here is an opportunity for someone who has a definitive biography of him (or at least an accurate set of vital statistics) to improve this article. Snezzy (talk) 01:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

   Still, Thomas W. C

Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, a UW-Madison researcher and surgeon who devised a skin cancer treatment in the 1930s that remains the global standard today, died Monday in Madison. He was 93.

As a UW-Madison medical student in the early 1930s, Mohs began experimenting with procedures and compounds that came to be known as "microscopically controlled surgery." Once it gained popularity, the process became known worldwide by the name it still carries: Mohs surgery. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.219.108 (talk) 23:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
