He was 77. The cause was lung cancer, said a spokesperson for George Washington University, where since 1996 he had been a professor of pediatrics and the management of health policy. Before joining the university, Dr. Mullan served 23 years in the U.S. Public Health Service. He was an assistant surgeon general and director of the National Health Service Corps, which serves communities where health care is scarce or nonexistent. For three years, he practiced at a community medical clinic in New Mexico. While at GWU, Dr. Mullan was a writer and editor at the health policy journal Health Affairs. In his column, Narrative Matters, he often reflected on a system that, decades into his career, he considered still broken in its treatment of the disadvantaged. Fitzhugh Seumas MacManus Mullan, known as "Fitz," was born in Tampa on July 22, 1942)
