Henry Wendt, 1933 - 2024
Obituary

Henry Wendt, born on July 19, 1933, in Neptune City, NJ, passed away on April 11, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for generations. Raised in Sands Point and Tuxedo Park NY, Henry embarked on a journey after graduating from Princeton University in 1955, starting his career as a salesperson for Smith, Kline & French, an American pharmaceutical company. His dedication and strategic acumen propelled him through various roles within the corporation, spanning locations such as Hawaii, Montreal, Tokyo, and Philadelphia, ultimately culminating in his appointment as President and CEO in 1976.
 
As CEO, Henry implemented a transformative 3-point strategy, reshaping the company's trajectory through strategic divestments and a focus on core products. This foresight laid the groundwork for the historic merger in 1989 with the UK-based Beecham Company, resulting in the formation of SmithKline Beecham (SKB). This was the largest cross-border merger of its time, and heralded the birth of a truly transnational corporation that would redefine global competition in the pharmaceutical industry. Under Henry's leadership, SKB emerged as the world’s second largest pharmaceutical company, both in prescription and over-the-counter drugs, solidifying its position as a global powerhouse.
 
Henry was more than just a businessperson; he was a visionary who recognised the significance of the evolving nature of transnational corporations. In his book, Global Embrace, published in 1993, he described a transition from the era of multinationals to the rise of transnational enterprises, painting a picture of a world where corporate operations transcended national borders in the pursuit of progress and prosperity. Henry's conceptualisation of transnational entities diverged from traditional multinationals primarily in their ownership structure. Unlike their predecessors, transnational corporations boasted a shareholder base that spanned the globe, marking a departure from the conventional reliance on temporary global marketing strategies like foreign branches, offshore acquisitions, joint ventures, or licensing agreements. This distinction emphasised a shift towards a more interconnected and globally oriented business paradigm. Henry's work not only explored market dynamics and competitive strategies but also explored the broader societal implications of this emerging corporate model, advocating for policies that fostered international cooperation and celebrated cultural diversity.

Henry Wendt's influence reached far beyond the boardroom, embodying integrity, moral fortitude, and an unwavering commitment to his country. His life epitomised timeless values of fairness, honesty, and optimism, evident in his many achievements and philanthropic endeavours. His diverse interests mirrored his commitment to improving society, seen through initiatives such as establishing academic chairs, sponsoring educational programmes, and funding research laboratories nationwide. A polymath, Henry found fulfilment in exploration, whether navigating the seas or delving into the realms of knowledge. Through ventures like the Quivira Estate Vineyards and Winery and his contributions to academia and research, his enduring impact continues to inspire future generations. In his passing, Henry Wendt leaves behind a rich legacy of leadership, generosity, and foresight that will echo through the years, serving as a powerful testament to the impact an individual can have on shaping a better world.

Understanding Medical Abortion: Procedures and Risks

Women opt for an abortion due to multiple causes. If the gestation is unwanted, there are issues in the growth of the fetus or the life of the mom is in danger because of the pregnancy. The pregnancy can be terminated in two forms. One is by a Surgical Abortion, and the other is by a Medical Abortion.

People prefer medical abortion because of less invasiveness and is possible in the privacy of a home. It is affordable in comparison to traditional surgical abortion. Let us discuss in detail the complete procedure of a medical abortion.

Medical Abortion 

It is also known as an abortion pill but involves taking two medicines needing no surgery or anesthesia.

There are 2 kinds of Medical Abortion.

  1. Methotrexate & Misoprostol
  2. Mifepristone and Misoprostol

 

Methotrexate & Misoprostol (MTX) 


Within the first 49 days of her pregnancy, the patient will take this medication. Oral administration of "Methotrexate" is the first medication. After three to seven days, the second medicine, "Misoprostol," is to be given either orally or vaginally. These medications force the fetus to evacuate itself in hours or days through squeezes and bleeding. In addition, antibiotics are provided to avoid any infections.

Mifepristone and Misoprostol 


Another name for the Abortion Pill approach is RU-486. The patient takes a drug named Mifepristone, which stops Progesterone and stops the pregnancy from growing any further.

The patient then receives a Misoprostol tablet about 36 to 72 hours later. It forms the uterine contractions that lead to the fetus's advanced removal from the body. This procedure can take a few hours or days to complete.

 

Some Adverse Effects 


These are some side effects of the Abortion pill:

  • Infections- Medicinal abortion procedure also has a risk of some infections. So, the doctors prescribe antibiotics along with abortion pills.
  • Cramping and heavy bleeding- The cramping will be painful with a risk of much heavier bleeding. It may need a medical professional's help.
  • Vomiting and diarrhea- The patient can vomit and loose stools as the pills are very strong medications. They have side effects that can be temporary.
  • Nausea- The patients may feel sick and uncomfortable. They might feel dizzy and vomiting.
  • 8 to 10% failure rate- This abortion procedure is effective but still has a failure rate of eight to ten percent. In case of an unsuccessful abortion, a surgical procedure is required for the patient.
  • Non-eligibility- If the patient has ovarian mass, high B.P., or Intrauterine devices, then this abortion procedure may not be advisable due to the health risks involved.
  • Not for patients with chronic diseases- Some patients are suffering previously from chronic diseases like liver, kidney, or bowel disease. Medicinal abortion is not advisable for such patients.
  • Plenty of bed rest- The procedure can sometimes take a toll on the health and overall well-being. It is temporary, and one may need bed rest for a few days to recover.
  • Not suitable for some patients- This medication is not suitable for patients with a history of ectopic pregnancy where the fetus develops outside the uterus and will not grow further.

How can you prepare yourself before a medicinal termination? 


These are some things you can consider before coming to the Abortion Pill Clinic for having an unwanted pregnancy termination.

  1. Knowledge about the procedure
  2. Awareness about the Abortion Legislation in your State
  3. Consideration of finances, affordability, and coverage
  4. Confide in trustworthy people
  5. Arrange for pads, painkillers, water, and food
  6. Bringing along a supporting loved one
  7. Arrangements for things to divert attention
  8. Counseling before and after the procedure
  9. Be confident about your decision
  10. Follow-ups after the procedure


Conclusion 


Medicinal abortion is generally a safe procedure with fewer side effects than many over-the-counter medicines. However, in some patients, the adverse effects might be severe and need immediate medical attention. Orlando Women's Center is an Advanced Abortion Pill Clinic with a supportive staff and a non-judgemental environment. In the case of having a medicinal abortion, you get treatment with compassion and respect in a comfortable environment. Contact us to know more.
