Dr. THOMAS DOOLEY III
American physician and humanitarian. (1927 - 1961)
"The brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations, and service to humanity is the best work of life."
—Tom Dooley
• Served as a physician in the US Navy and afterward became famous for his humanitarian and anti-communist political activities in South East Asia and the United States.
• He was forced to leave the Navy due to the discovery of his sexuality, which the Navy investigated.
• Dooley and three former Navy corpsmen established a hospital near Luang Namtha, Laos.
• He founded the Medical International Cooperation Organization (MEDICO) under the auspices of which he built hospitals at Nam Tha, Muong Sing, and Ban Houei Sa, and also a clinic in Vang Vieng.
• He also worked for the CIA, collecting information about the movements of Chinese troops, which embroiled him in controversy.
• Returning to the US for cancer treatment in 1959, his surgery for melanoma was televised on CBS in April of 1960.
Tom was born at St. Ann's Hospital on January 17, 1927, weighing in at a hefty twelve pounds.
Growing up the Dooley boys were required to dress in a jacket and tie for dinner, served promptly at 6:30 PM. The family employed a cook, a maid, and a chauffeur-houseman named Norvell Simpson who tended to their dinner table in a starched white jacket.
In grade school, Tommy Dooley studied French and received instruction in the fine arts.
The Dooleys summered at a former estate on Green Lake in Wisconsin. Home movies from 1936 and 1937 provide the first recorded evidence of Tom Dooley's performing self: Tommy always occupies the center of the frame, blowing kisses in grand gestures to the sky, dangling a big fish from the dock, or beaming from atop a fine-looking horse.
In 1940 Tom Dooley entered Saint Louis University High School, the oldest school west of the Mississippi. Dooley focused his energies on the highly elaborate milieu of St. Louis Catholic society, becoming the male equivalent of a debutante.
To many of his acquaintances, he represented an odd mixture of extrovert and loner, capable of swaggering into a party to immediately commandeer the piano (once he even played from the back of a pickup truck moving down Grand Avenue) and just as suddenly disappear. At his senior prom, held at the exclusive Missouri Athletic Club, Dooley convinced some male friends to ditch their dates and join him for a dip in the club's pool.
The University of Notre Dame not only was the most prestigious Catholic college in America but also offered extensive opportunities to combine military training and service with the pursuit of higher education. Dooley was accepted for admission and enrolled for the 1944 winter semester.
He left without his degree in 1948 after being admitted to the medical school of Saint Louis University; premedical students of that era were often admitted after three years and Dooley's wealth of St. Louis connections may have compensated for an indifferent undergraduate record.
June 1948 Tom Dooley sailed for Paris as a reward from his parents for gaining admission to medical school. Tom had planned to travel with a Notre Dame friend, but "then something came up which was not very nice" and he wound up living alone in a Paris apartment but frequently hosting "numerous other fellows" he had met along the way.
Dooley attended a few lectures at the Sorbonne, but mostly he traveled as a young American socialite. A friend noticed a trait Dooley refined to perfection: an ability to travel in first-class splendor on virtually no money.
After deciding that he wanted to become a physician, Tom obtained his parents' grudging permission to enlist as a U.S. Navy medical corpsman with only two semesters of college work completed. He was in training at the Great Lakes Naval Station when word arrived that his half-brother Earle had been killed in Germany in 1944, at the battle of Hurtgen Forest.
Tom Dooley began his medical career tending to the broken bodies of servicemen returned from combat to the naval hospital at St. Albans, in Queens, New York, and later the Marine Hospital at San Diego.
The enormously popular chanteuse Hildegarde was rehearsing one afternoon for a performance when she saw a young man wheeling a piano across the stage of the Empire Room in Chicago, comically wiping feigned sweat from his brow.
Dooley was able to appear in Hildegarde's chorus line because, while still in his teens, he had become a highly spirited participant in the homosexual subcultures of the American armed forces, the Catholic Church, and various urban centers including New York and Chicago. Hildegarde was herself a devout Catholic with a large gay following: her campy nightclub act was rife with allusions to "Kinsey's whimseys" (after 1948) and other euphemisms for homosexuals in currency among entertainers of the period. Allan Berube, the chronicler of gay life in World War II, noted that "although nightclub entertainment was never publicly identified as gay, such performers as Hildegarde and Tallulah Bankhead attracted a devoted gay following, sometimes dropping veiled hints or singing lyrics with double meanings directed at their admirers."
From the time that Dooley's homosexuality was first discussed publicly in 1989, it has been widely assumed that he must have suffered terribly for his sexuality. In fact, from his adolescence onward, Tom Dooley made little effort to conceal his sexuality. He made frequent passes at male acquaintances.
Tom had a sexual relationship with a young cleric that was anything but secretive. A gay friend who served with Dooley as a marine corpsman recalled that far from being confused or tormented by his sexuality, Tom confidently exploited his appeal to gay officers to receive choice assignments.
Returning to Notre Dame in 1946 Dooley; he enjoyed boasting about the many circumcision procedures he had performed as a pharmacist's mate.
For his internship, he rejoined the navy. Working in Bethesda, Maryland as a hospital intern in 1952, Dooley was picked up by a German airline steward who took him to the home of one of the leading Washington homosexuals. Dooley quickly became a favorite of the group which included theater people and musicians. Dooley was described within gay circles as "mesmerizing" and "one of the most charming people you would ever want to meet." The topic of Dooley's homosexuality remained hidden from public scrutiny; this was the mid-1950s after all. Another source revealed that Dooley regarded his homosexuality "as a gift," that homosexual relations were, for him, a way to elevate the gray existence of those not so blessed with charm and good looks.
Dooley received his Doctor of Medicine degree from St. Louis University in 1953.
In May 1954 he was assigned as a Medical Officer and worked in the evacuation of Haiphong. There he witnessed the suffering of more than 600,000 refugees from North to South Vietnam.
In August 1954, Dooley transferred to a unit participating in the evacuation of over 600,000 North Vietnamese known as the "Passage to Freedom." Here Dooley served as a French interpreter and medical officer for a Preventative Medicine Unit in Haiphong. Dooley eventually oversaw the building and maintenance of refugee camps in Haiphong until May 1955, when the Viet Minh took over the city.
Dooley returned to the United States later in 1955 and published his first book, a Vietnam memoir, entitled Deliver Us From Evil (1956). The book climbed the best-seller lists and appeared in a condensed form in Reader's Digest, which also reprinted it in eleven languages. He became the youngest United States Navy Medical Corps officer in history to receive the Navy's Legion of Merit. Dooley also received the highest national decoration of the South Vietnamese government.
Dooley's Navy career came to an end on March 28, 1956. Under investigation for homosexual activity by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), he was forced to resign. Reports of his homosexuality had been circulating since the summer of 1954; it was rumored that he had seduced the son of an admiral during a stay at Yokosuka, Japan, just before shipping out to Vietnam. The ONI probe began in January 1956. By March of that year, they had compiled a convincing dossier on Dooley, including sex acts with informants, and were about to proceed against him when he abruptly resigned. Randy Shilts, who outed Dooley in a book in 1989 on homosexuals in the military, believed that Dooley led a deliberately closeted life because he adhered strictly to the teachings of the Church. Yet it has been reported that Dooley was an extraordinarily active gay man who was considered one of the great sex symbols of his era — a figure well-known in sophisticated gay circles as far-flung as Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and the capitals of Southeast Asia.
In 1956, Dooley resigned from the Navy and persuaded the International Rescue Committee to sponsor bush hospitals in Southeast Asia. Donating the royalties from Deliver Us From Evil, Dooley and three former Navy corpsmen, established a hospital at Nam Tha, a village five miles south of the China border in Laos. Dooley said they chose Laos because the country, with 3,000,000 people, had only one "bonafide" doctor. St. Patrick's hospital in Nam Tha consisted of a surgical ward with 15 beds, a medical ward with mats for 30 people, an operating room, and an out-patient clinic. The hospital had no electricity, x-ray equipment, plumbing, or air-conditioning. Dooley treated about 100 patients a day for such diseases as tuberculosis, malnutrition, diphtheria, dysentery, pneumonia, small-pox, and burns.
In October 1957, Dooley and his staff turned St. Patrick's over to the government of Laos, to be run by Dooley-trained Laotians. During his stay in Nam Tha, Dooley wrote a second book, The Edge of Tomorrow.
That year, Dooley started the Medical International Cooperation Organization or MEDICO. A non-sectarian group, it wanted to build, stock, supply, and train staff for small hospitals along the Iron and Bamboo curtains. The organization received hundreds of thousands of dollars in medicine and supplies from pharmaceutical houses throughout the United States.
Early in 1958, Dooley established his second hospital in Laos at Muong Sing near the China border.
In August 1959, Dooley underwent chest surgery for melanoma, a rapidly spreading form of cancer. Dooley announced afterward, "I am not going to quit. I will continue to guide and lead my hospitals until my back, my brain, my blood, and my bones collapse." Dooley returned to the lecture circuit in October, raising one million dollars for MEDICO.
In 1960, Dooley published his third book, The Night They Burned the Mountain (1960). In June 1960, Dooley received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Notre Dame University. Seven months later, Dooley flew back to New York Memorial Hospital. Cancer had spread to his lungs, liver, spleen, heart, and brain. Dr. Tom Dooley died January 18, 1961, one day after his thirty-fourth birthday.
Men and women of all faiths have followed his dedicated example to humanity by offering their services in various areas of spiritual and material needs. The heroic and virtuous example of this young doctor, his services to mankind, and more especially acceptance of suffering, sickness, and death have served as a great inspiration to many.
