Harvey Williams Cushing (April 8, 1869 – October 7, 1939) was an American neurosurgeon, pathologist, and writer. Cushing was commissioned as a major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps on May 5, 1917. He was director of the U.S. base hospital attached to the British Expeditionary Force in France. Cushing also served as the head of a surgical unit in a French military hospital outside of Paris. Cushing experimented with the use of electromagnets to extract metallic shrapnel fragments that were lodged within the brain. On June 6, 1918, he was was assigned as senior consultant in neurological surgery for the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. He treated Lieutenant Edward Revere Osler, who was fatally wounded during the third battle of Ypres. Lieutenant Osler was the son of Sir William Osler. A pioneer of brain surgery, he was the first exclusive neurosurgeon and the first person to describe Cushing's disease. Cushing developed many of the basic surgical techniques for operating on the brain. This established him as one of the foremost leaders and experts in the field. Under his influence neurosurgery became a new and autonomous surgical discipline. Cushing authored the Pulitzer prize-winning biography, Life of Sir William Osler. More
