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.
