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, he developed revolutionary methods of blood pressure measurement, and he discovered Cushing’s syndrome, the first autoimmune disease identified in a human being.
This monumental biography earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1926.
