American physician (b. Jan. 18, 1921, Chicago, Ill.—d. June 19, 2003, Seattle, Wash.), revolutionized kidney dialysis by creating in 1960 the Scribner shunt, a device that allowed patients to receive long-term dialysis. Sewn into arteries and veins, the shunt eliminated the progressive damage caused by repeated insertion of tubes from the dialysis machine directly into blood vessels, the method previously used. Scribner also oversaw the creation of committees to determine which patients would receive dialysis and thereby laid the foundations for bioethics committees. In 2002 he was awarded the Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research.
