Abstract

Harvey Cushing (1869-1939), considered the founder of neurosurgery as a specialty in the United States, was one of the great doctors of the 20th century. In addition to his successful clinical practice, he was a pioneer in research and advances in various fields of medicine (anesthesiology, endocrinology, evidence-based medicine, history of medicine, and of course neurosurgery). He was also a family man, father of five children, athlete, cartoonist and lover of literature and writing.
