Philip Eugene Bernatz (April 18, 1921 - October 6, 2010) was an eminent American physician and thoracic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, and an international authority on the diagnosis and treatment of thymoma and other tumors of the chest. Bernatz was born on April 18, 1921 in Decorah, Iowa, as one of four children of Frank and Martha (née Hanson) Bernatz, and he died on October 6, 2010, in Rochester, Minnesota. ==Education and military service== Bernatz was educated in public schools in Decorah, and he entered the University of Iowa (UI) in 1939. Bernatz received his B.A. degree as a member of Phi Beta Kappa in 1942, and was then enrolled in an accelerated wartime medical school curriculum at UI. He was awarded the M.D. in 1944 after being inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.〔''Op cit.'', reference 1.〕 Bernatz immediately received a military commission as a Lieutenant J.G. (O2) in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps, and he served overseas as a general medical officer in combat zones in the Pacific theater of operations. Bernatz returned to the United States after cessation of hostilities at the end of 1945 to continue his postgraduate medical education. However, that experience was interrupted in 1952 when he was recalled to active duty in the Navy during the Korean Conflict. Bernatz served an additional 24 months as a naval surgeon in Korea, completing his tour of duty in 1954 at the rank of Lieutenant Commander (O4). Bernatz was awarded the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal; the World War II Victory Medal; the Korean Service Medal; and the Korean Defense Service Medal.
