The Legacy of Harvey Cushing : Profiles of Patient Care

This beautifully illustrated book presents a stunning summary of Harvey Cushing's surgical experiences.

It features 800 of Harvey Cushing's drawings and photographs of patients, which were made between 1905 to 1930 and consequently stored untouched for over sixty years in the Yale University Library.

These images offer a rare glimpse at the very first recorded images of both disease and pathology.

The authors have correlated these images with medical records, which include Dr. Cushing's pre-operative and operative reports and post-operative evaluations.

Unique in presentation and content, this book is guaranteed to pique the minds of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and specialists interested in the history and pathology of disease and early imaging.
