Charles C. Bass, M.D.
If ever a Hollywood movie about a hard working doctor/scientist who helped humanity could make money, it would be about Dr. Bass. Some say he was the first to take a microscope across the Mississippi. Others say he was a crackpot who was so far wrong he was dangerous. He was an expert, self taught, in the diseases of quail, because he wanted to make sure the covies he knew as a kid would still be there for his grandchildren. An original conservationist. He ran a medical school in New Orleans. Before air conditioning. When he hit 65 years old, he retired as few men do. He worked as hard or harder. In the years following his retirement, his most fruitful research was done. He learned beyond doubt what causes tooth decay and gum disease. More importantly, he then learned how to prevent the disease entirely. Further, he designed the proper tools for his theory.
