Among other achievements by Dr. Jackson was passage of the Federal Caustic Poison Act of 1927, esophageal dilatation in kids, and treatment of many poor children without pay.
Perhaps the one thing Dr. Jackson was mistaken on was the discouragement of high tracheostomies or cricothyrodotomies back in 1921.
Of note, Dr. Jackson's foreign body collection (2000+ items) is now owned by the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia... a fantastic museum I may add.
