Description
Haematomyelia from Gunshot Wounds of the Spine. A Report of Two Cases, with Recovery following Symptoms of Hemilesion of the Cord.
by Harvey Cushing, MD.
Read by Edison McDaniels
Listen to history's first ever account of a gunshot wound to the spine.
On January 1st, 1896, Wilhelm Roentgen presented the first ever x-ray, an image of his wife Anna's left hand. Later that year, a young doctor by the name of Harvey Cushing—who would go on to become one of the most prolific surgeons in history and the father of modern neurosurgery, produced the image on the cover of this audiobook, the first ever clinical x-ray (they called them roentgenograms back then) of a gunshot wound to the neck and spine.
Harvey Cushing would go on to become the most noted neurosurgeon in the world and the father of modern brain surgery. He was relentless in his quest for perfection in everything he did. Along the way, his compassion, incredible powers of observation, profound stamina and fortitude, and an unrelenting tenacity in the face of even the most vexing clinical problems, all combined with a skill for writing that would have made him a world class author in whatever field he took up, led him to keep copious notes and diaries. He published many professional articles and several monographs in his lifetime. The one herein voiced was the first.
