Commissioned in 1959, Martin is a beloved, long-time member of the Cornell Medical Center Pediatric Radiology Department. Martin’s knack for juggling forceps and yodeling in a surprisingly deep baritone keeps young patients smiling and calm despite intimidating, clattering CAT, PET and MRI scanning machinery. Parents and staff alike regularly comment that Martin’s hijinks happily distract them from the life-threatening diseases being fought.

Martin also enjoys paintballing, philately, and volunteering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
