Abstract: This chapter describes Fisher’s career in Montreal (1950–1954) and his ultimate transfer to Boston. His family life, studies, accomplishments, and writings during this period are also described. Highlighted are his discoveries about carotid artery disease, transient loss of vision, transient episodes of brain ischemia, lacunar brain infarction and its mechanisms, brain embolism, and the distribution of atherosclerosis within the arteries that supply the brain. While in Montreal, Fisher became a productive researcher. His work on carotid artery disease and temporary episodes of eye and brain ischemia gained him widespread recognition. However, he eventually decided that the future of his stroke work was far brighter in Boston than if he stayed in Montreal, and so he eventually decided to return to Boston.
