NOTES
Harvey Williams Cushing (1869-1939) was an American surgeon known as the father of modern neurosurgery. Educated at Yale University and Harvard Medical School, he pioneered safer brain surgery techniques and helped establish neurosurgery as a distinct medical field. He also identified Cushing’s disease and won the Pulitzer Prize for his biography of Sir William Osler.
