John Blair Deaver was born on July 25, 1855 near the village of Buck, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Joshua Montgomery and Elizabeth (Moore) Deaver.
The family was largely of Scots-Irish descent, and seems to have been medically inclined. John's father was a country doctor, and two of his three brothers also entered the profession.
Deaver attended Nottingham Academy near his home and matriculated in America's first medical school, the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1878. Following internship at the Germantown Hospital and the Philadelphia Children's Hospital, he emarked in clinical practice. Shortly thereafter he became attached to his alma mater in the Department of Anatomy, a well-recognized stepping-stone into surgery.
From 1880 to 1899 Deaver was associated with the anatomy department of the University of Pennsylvania, for most of the period as assistant professor of "applied anatomy. " In this capacity he was influenced by Agnew and Ashhurst and developed a keen interest in surgery. In 1886 he also became one of the surgeons of the German (later the Lankenau) Hospital, where he was made chief of the surgical department in 1896. When the analogous post at Pennsylvania was awarded to J. William White in 1899, Deaver resigned at that institution, but in 1911 returned as professor of the practice of surgery.
In 1918 he succeeded White as John Rhea Barton Professor of Surgery, finally retiring from this chair as professor emeritus in 1922. He continued in his hospital service, however, until shortly before his death.
His career began at a time when aseptic procedures were being adopted, and when abdominal surgery was consequently making rapid progress. He was not a pioneer in introducing new operations, but was one of the first to develop certain procedures - notably appendectomy - and to insist upon prompt surgical interference. Indeed he was one of that group which included other leaders like the Mayos, who moved surgery from the periphery of medical practice to its very center. In Deaver's case, he owed his achievement to two factors in addition to technical skill; first, great physical endurance, and, second, a zest for clinical teaching and demonstrations.
He probably performed more operations than did any man before or since his time in Philadelphia, and always seemed tireless. In 1911, for example, he performed sixteen serious operations in succession before the American Medical Association - working continuously for six hours. He enjoyed demonstrations and talks before medical groups, and was noted for incisive comments on such occasions. His famous Saturday afternoon clinics at the German Hospital attracted large professional audiences, and he was eventually in demand for medical meetings all over the country.
He was elected president of the Inter-State Post Graduate Medical Association of North America, and also of the American College of Surgeons (1921-1922). In addition to some 250 papers, he was the author of a number of major works, including Surgical Anatomy; A Treatise on Appendicitis (1896), which went through four editions, the last two, published in 1905 and 1913 respectively, being entitled "Appendicitis; Its History, Anatomy, Clinical Aetiology, Pathology . .. Treatment; Enlargement of the Prostate" (1905), with A. P. C. Ashhurst; Surgery of the Upper Abdomen (1909-1913), also with Ashhurst; and Excursions into Surgical Subjects (1923).
Deaver died at his home in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, in his seventy-seventh year, his death being occasioned by an obscure anemia, for which no cause could be found at the autopsy.
John Blair Deaver is remembered most for his approach during appendectomy, which involves a vertical incision in the right lower quadrant and subsequent medial retraction of the rectus muscle. He was accorded many honors including that of President of the American College of Surgeons, the practice of surgery was his total commitment - that, and writing five books and almost 250 articles. He is also responsible for introducing the use of the word “pathology” to mean pathologic findings or lesion rather than the study.

Quotations: Deaver often uttered the phrase, “an inch and a half, a minute and a half, a week and a half” to mean, respectively, the length of the incision, the time it took to perform the operation, and the duration of the hospital stay. “Cut well, get well, stay well, ” was another of his pet phrases.
Deaver became a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia in 1887, was a member and president of the American College of Surgeons and the Post Graduate Medical Association of North America, and a member of the American Surgical Association.
Deaver was a brilliant operator - rough-and-ready, and in his younger years "a great slasher. " He was criticized by some for being too "radical" in resorting to the knife.
As a practical man devoting himself exclusively to his profession, Deaver seems to have had few social or cultural interests. He was noted for his kindness to the poor, but was inclined to "soak the rich. " Entirely devoid of "front, " he took little interest in official position.
On December 13, 1889, Deaver married Caroline Randall, by whom he had four children.
