Because of his pioneer work as a early twentieth century brain surgeon, who performed more than 2,000 brain surgeries during his four-decade professional career, many refer to Dr. Harvey Cushing (1869-1939), a Cleveland native and the fourth generation of doctors in his family, America's first neurosurgeon. Yale University Medical Library is named for him. In addition to being a pioneer neursurgeon, Cushing was also an accomplished author, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1926 for the biography he wrote of Dr. William Osler, often referred to as the Father of Modern Medicine. | Source: Yale University, Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical LibraryDownload Original File
