Dr. Marshall Strome's other son
Randy, 30, owns a sporting goods store
in Gresham, Ore:, just east of Portland.
He and his wife Chantalle are the par-
ents of 9-year-old Shannon.
Dr. Strome met his wife, the former
Deena Lazarov, in Detroit when he was
16 and she was attending Mumford
High School. "The best thing I ever did
in my whole life was marry Deena,"
said Strome.
Strome came to Cleveland after 20
years at Harvard Medical School, where
he was associate professor of otolaryn-
gology, and senior surgeon at Brigham
and Women's Hospitals in Boston,
where medical pioneer Dr. Harvey
Cushing once worked.
Strome was offered a chairmanship
at Columbia University but turned it
down because he and Deena decided
they would rather not live in New York.
Fifty-three people applied for the
Cleveland Clinic post Strome eventually
was given.
Through his own research, Strome
has developed two innovative surgical
instruments. The Strome Micro-
Choanal Atresia Set is used for repairing
defects in the back of the nose of babies,
and his Pediatric Cryosurgical Probe is a
freezing probe that can be used both for
the treatment of early cancers and for
treating children with small wart-like
growths in their voice box.
Strome's work has brought him
international recognition and honors.
He received the Medal of the City of
Paris in 1987, and four years later was
awarded the Sword of Saudi Arabia in
recognition of the treatment he
bestowed upon a patient.
Strome declined to reveal the identi-
ty of the person he treated because he
never gives out the names of patients.
He acknowledged it was someone "on
the level of" Saudi Arabia's King Fand,
and that his patient was indeed a mem-
ber of Saudi royalty. According to pub-
lished reports, several members of the
Saudi royal family have received treat-
ment or undergone surgery at the
