Obituary
?b?Colette Perras, M.D.
?i?Camirand?/i?, ?i?Andr?/i? ?i?M.D.?/i?
?/b?Dr. Colette Perras, as a young Montreal physician, chose to become a plastic surgeon. She went to New York City to train at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and at the Memorial Center under the supervision of prominent surgeons such as Webster, Pack, Adair, Little, and Hayes Martin.
She came back as a professor at the University of Montreal and was named chief of plastic surgery at the Hotel Dieu Hospital in 1970. She was a diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. She was invited as a speaker all over the world and took part in many publications, including chapters of prestigious textbooks on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
She was a pioneer as a woman and an inspiration for the new generation of women physicians. As a teacher for trainees, she had no equal and very high expectations (Blair Rogers once told me she was the toughest chief resident he ever knew), but at the same time she was most generous. Her only preoccupation was always perfection.
Besides, she could have been a concert pianist, claiming it was partly responsible for her tremendous hand skills. She studied to become an airplane pilot, was an accomplished art collector, was a world champion at skeet shooting, and still holds the world record for the largest tuna ever fished(men and women).
On May 14, 1994, cancer overcame this power of nature, and Canada as well as the world of plastic surgery lost one of its pride. She will never be replaced.
