Harold Chope. His self-limited illness consisting of pneumonia and erythema nodosum after accidental laboratory exposure to Coccidioides greatly contributed to the determination that San Joaquin Valley fever was caused by the fungus. Chope received his MD at Stanford in 1931 and went on to an MPH (1933) and PhD (1940), both from Harvard and became a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford in 1955. He had a remarkable career in public health and in 1970 the name of the San Mateo County General Hospital was changed to the Harold C. Chope Community Hospital. The name subsequently reverted back to the original in 1989 (but was subsequently changed once again, this time to the San Mateo County Medical Center). Chope lived from 1904 to 1976.
