Dr. Howard Jones 2017
Hi, I am Dr.Howard Jones. I was born December, 30, 1910. I am a gynecologist. I was Henrietta lacks doctor and helped diagnose her, and my official diagnosis was “Epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix, stage 1" (142). I helped establish her tumor as "malignant" (155). I gave Henrietta the same treatment as a "white patient"(147). I am a professor at John Hopkins and eastern Virginia medical school. I founded the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine in Norfolk, Virginia. I am married to my beautiful wife, Georgeanna.
