Biographical NoteReturn to Top
John J. Bonica (1917-1994) was a professor and founding chairman for the University of Washington Department of Anesthesiology. Of the 41 books Bonica wrote and edited, his most well-known contribution to the medical field being the second edition of The Management of Pain (1990). The majority of his publications focused on pain research and therapy.
Emigrating from Filicudi, Italy in 1928, Bonica received his Bachelor’s degree from New York University (1938) and his medical degree from Marquette University (1942). While attending medical school, Bonica was a world champion light heavyweight wrestler, going by the name Johnny “Bull” Walker (1941). Shortly after graduating, Bonica married Emma Louise Baldetti (1942).
At St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York, Bonica specialized in anesthesiology. During World War II, he led the anesthesiology section at the Madigan Army Hospital in Fort Lewis, Washington. After the war, Bonica worked at Tacoma General and Pierce hospitals as the Chief of Anesthesia. He began teaching anatomy at the University of Washington in 1948 and anesthesiology in 1955. In recognition of Bonica and Baldetti’s contributions, the University of Washington established an endowed professorship in their name.
