ΓΑΒΟΚ CITY WELCOMES . . .
Newest Doctor
,\ιι laiuaro was Riven ur,
jerald C. Shingleton when he
•pened his Live· Oak street *»1 —
it·»· l<»r the first time im the
Homing ot Oct. liti. barely
ditr months ago; but within η
ι·\ν hours word passed thiough
the town that he is young,
nviier o| a couple ol' sports
;ars and an airplane.
These introductory remarks
were true; but in coming weeks
lie became a familiar person
age in Tabor City, walking ur
ririving informally about, chat
ting over a cup of cofPei with
iie»ly-made fMenus, or receiv- ,
ing patients in bis office?
Known to bu· few are the1
details loniprising the bio-1
graphv of this 30-vear oiddoct
i>r.
I
He is a native of Wilson, the
son ol \V \\\ Shingleton, .<
funei'al director. Following ι
Gerald Shingleton's graduation
from Wilson High, he enrolled |
at Duke University. His col-1
legt· career was interrupted by
a stint m the Navy Aii Force |
which began in 15141.
In service he was not assign
ed to medical duties: instead he
chose to be a specialist i'.i i
charge ot launching and land
ma a ι reran aboard carriers.
"At that time I was interested
in aviation," he explained, "but
not in flying." By the time ol
his discharge from the Navy
in lit-Jfi. he had attained the
rank of Lt. Commander.
He returned to Duke and a
year later received a bachelor's
degree in pre-med, and in 1950
was awarded a M. D. degree
from the Duke Medical School.
Dr. Shingleton's internship
was served in Philadelphia's
Jefferson Hospital for the first
year, and then a year of post
er, ideate training in surgery-at
Baptist Hospital of Bowman
Gray S.hool of Medicine Win
ston-Salem.
The next six years were spent
by the doctor in private prac
tict—four years in Georgia and
a couple in this stale.
Then the bid came for him
to establish a practice in Tabor
City in a building formerly us
ed by Dr. Phillip Zulick. 10
Live Oak street.
On Tuesday night. Feb. 7.
Dr. Shingleton attended the
staff meeting of the Columbus
County Memorial Hospital and
was named a member of the
staff and granted membership
in the Columbus County Medi
cal Society.
Only recently he was grant
< ii a medical license to practice
.ο South Carolina.
