The Passing of Harvey Cushing *
نویسنده
چکیده
A great loss has been suffered by our profession, and it is fitting that this Society should pause in its clinical proceedings to pay tribute to Harvey Cushing. In his character and his career was the stuff of which inspiring tradition is made. At the opening of the Montreal Neurological Institute five years ago he was guest speaker and a biographical sketcht appeared in our Foundation Volume. As a young man Cushing brought to Yale a fine inheritance of family tradition in medicine, but he was an undergraduate like other undergraduates and played baseball with a right good will. Many a distinguished surgeon of today can remember being startled out of a day-dream, while he held a retractor in the operating room of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, by the sudden exdamation. from Cushing's lips-"-Eyes on the ball!" From Yale he went to the Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts General Hospital, and, finally, to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, a determined and intense young man with finely chiselled, ascetic features. What a place the Hopkins was at the time of his arrival in 1 896!
