THE LIFE OF SIR WILLIAM OSLERVOL2 - HARVEY CUSH...

William Osler (1849-1919) is widely regarded as one of the most influential physicians of the
late 19th and early 20th century and a key figure in the history of medicine. Besides his
research activities and his dedicated scientific work  Osler s greatest contribution to the
medical world has been the system of residency which he developed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore  thus introducing a new and deeply humanistic approach to the strictly scientific
realm of traditional medicine. Harvey Cushing (1869-1939)  a former student and close friend of
Osler s and a pioneer of neurosurgery  has himself become an icon of modern medicine. He was
one of the first physicians to use X-rays for diagnosing brain tumours and he developed
revolutionary methods of blood pressure measurement. He also discovered Cushing s syndrome  the
first autoimmune disease identified in a human being. This monumental biography earned him the
Pulitzer Prize in 1926.
