Henry Brem, M.D.

Harvey Cushing was a fascinating person, he came from a family of prominent physicians and did his surgical residency training under William Stewart Halsted at Johns Hopkins Hospital.  He then went overseas to visit and train in the great surgical clinics in Europe and returned to Hopkins to join the faculty and become an instructor of surgery. He was the first person to successfully carry out brain tumor surgery. Cushing discovered the roll of the pituitary gland becoming the foundation for the field of endocrinology. He is also credited as the first to use the x-ray machine for a surgical procedure to extract a bullet from a patients skull. Although he was nominated thirty-eight times for the Nobel Prize, he never won. However, he did win a Pulitzer prize for his writings on William Osler. He is credited with opening up the field of brain surgery as a separate discipline, in a long and productive career and is considered the father of modern neurosurgery.
