Dr. John F. Murray, retired Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care at San Francisco General Hospital died at the age of 92 after contracting COVID-19.\r\n<\/p>

Murray is reportedly survived by his wife, novelist Diane Johnson, two children, four stepchildren and 14 grandchildren.\r\n<\/p>

A longtime Bay Area pulmonary physician credited with diagnosing a lung disease known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) died of the same illness on Tuesday in Paris.\r\n<\/p>

Murray, retired former Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care at San Francisco General Hospital, died at his home at the age of 92. \r\n<\/p>

The UC San Francisco School of Medicine, where he served as Professor of Medicine emeritus, on Wednesday confirmed Murray\u2019s death with a remembrance on its website.\r\n<\/p>

Murray served as the Chief of Pulmonology from 1966-1989 at San Francisco General Hospital and also worked as the chief of the hospital\u2019s medical staff.\r\n<\/p>

The graduate of Stanford University and Stanford Medical School also conducted a successful research programme focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of acute lung injury\/ARDS.\r\n<\/p>

\u201cI have long admired Dr. Murray. He had an enormous influence on the careers of many young physicians, very much including my own,\u201d said Talmadge E. King, Jr., dean of the UCSF School of Medicine in a statement. \r\n<\/p>

\u201cI admired his keen intellect, amazing skill as a professor of medicine, and his unique ability to present (in his writings and public presentations) difficult topics in a clear and concise manner.\u201d\r\n<\/p>

After his retirement, Murray spent time in Paris but returned to the United States annually during the summer to serve as an attending physician in the MICU and teach future physicians at UCSF. \r\n<\/p>

Aside from diagnosing ARDS, Dr. Murray is also credited with making significant contributions to the fields of tuberculosis and HIV\/Aids.\r\n<\/p>

At UCSF, Dr. Murray founded the intensive care unit and established a national model for the division still used today.\r\n<\/p>
