William Dock was a controversial cardiologist credited with formulating "Sutton's Law," which states that during diagnosis a physician should use the test most likely to produce results.
Dr. William Dock (1898—October 17, 1990) was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., and obtained his degree from Rush Medical College in Chicago. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his service in France during World War I and worked at Stanford and Cornell afterward. After World War II he headed the department of medicine at Long Island College of Medicine (now Downstate) and worked at Brooklyn Veterans Hospital. He researched bed rest, refined cardiography, and published numerous papers on cardiology.
