Harvey Cushing: A Biography
By John F. Fulton
Read by Edison McDaniels, MD
Coming soon to Audible!
The 1946 biography of Harvey Cushing by John Fulton on audiobook for the first time ever!
“The Power of One, the Impact of Many.” For neurosurgery, there is no individual who encapsulates the power of one better than Harvey Cushing. Cushing (1869-1939) is the founding father of modern neurosurgery and was remarkably productive even by today’s standards. It is estimated that in addition to everything else he accomplished, he wrote the equivalent of 1,000 words a day for the entirety of his 70 years on this earth. He also operated on over 2,000 brain tumors (less than 5 attempts had been made to operate on any brain tumor before him, only one successfully). This was at a time without antibiotics, specialized imaging, blood transfusions, intensive care units, or anything more than primitive early anesthetic techniques. He quite literally invented modern brain surgery.
HARVEY CUSHING, A BIOGRAPHY, by John Fulton.
• This is the definitive biography of Harvey Cushing, published in 1946.
• First time ever on audio!
• This is not an AI production. The voice is mine, and all technical aspects of the production are my own work. I am a team of 1. This is a highly polished presentation.
• The audiobook is 45 hours in length..
• Listeners can go directly to individual chapters or any of the excerpts or bonus materials.
The Story of a Great Medical Pioneer
Written in 1946 by the eminent scholar and physiologist John F. Fulton, a man who knew and worked alongside Cushing, this is the definitive biography of one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine and surgery. Cushing’s legacy is present in every operating room in the world everyday, for he was much more than the father of modern neurosurgery: among other innovations, he was the first to follow blood pressure during surgery and the first to develop a practical means of doing so. He was a pioneer in electrocautery, otherwise known as the electric knife, which is used in most operations today to control bleeding. He worked out the relationship between gigantism and pituitary tumors. These are just a few of the numerous innovations and discoveries he is credited with.
He counted among his friends and patients many of the foremost physicians, statesmen, scientists, and scholars of his time. One of his daughter’s married FDR’s son. Included among the correspondence here are notes and letters with Sir William Osler (the father of modern internal medicine), Walter Reed (the man who conquered Yellow Fever), William H. Taft, The Mayo Brothers (founders of The Mayo Clinic), William Halsted (the father of modern surgery), and many, many more.
This work will be of great interest to neurosurgeons, medical students, nurses, neurosurgical physician associates, medical product reps, and anyone with any interest in the history of medicine. Cushing knew everybody who was anybody in medicine during the first third of the 20th century and it’s all described here in remarkable prose. There is much material here on the founding of the Johns Hopkins Medical School as well as the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Includes the founding of the the Cushing Brain Tumor Archive at Yale and The Harvey Cushing Society, now known as the AANS. It will be easily accessible and can be listened to in piecemeal fashion, such as to and from work for 10 minutes at a time, or on a long car ride or when traveling by plane for hours. A surprising amount of Cushing’s advice remains relevant to today’s physicians in general and neurosurgeons in particular.
I am a board certified neurosurgeon. I am also an accomplished audiobook narrator. I developed this over the years as a hobby that I could work at at any hour of the day or night amidst the busy schedule of a practicing neurosurgeon. I have a professional recording studio in my home and have recorded over 50,000 minutes of spoken word audio.

Written in 1924 by Harvey Cushing, MD (the father of modern neurosurgery)
An epic telling of the birth of modern clinical medicine, by those who lived it.
Winner of the 1926 Pulitzer Prize for biography!
An amazingly detailed look at the life of a gentleman and illustrious physician of the 19th century. An intimate tell of medical history during a time it moved from its rudiments of 3,000 years to the foundations of modern practice. And Williams Osler, the preeminent physician of his day and the father of modern clinical medicine, seems to have been at the heart of it all.
This biography is written by another esteemed physician, Harvey Cushing, the father of modern neurosurgery. The two volumes together are 60 hours long, of which the first 35 hours are now available on SoundCloud. It is a work in progress.
This is a fascinating, intimate look at the greatest period of discovery in medical history, with remembrances of the likes of Virchow, Pasteur, Sydenham, Lister, Koch, and many, many others.
This will make a great gift for that medical man or woman in your life. Listen now!

THE GROWTH OF TRUTH
The 1906 Harveian Oration by William Osler
This will interest anyone interested in science or history in general.
The Growth of Truth discusses the evolution of knowledge in medicine, using Harvey’s pivotal discovery of the circulation of the blood as the prime example of how seemingly sudden advances in medicine and science don’t just happen, but come about only when the ground has been plowed and is ready for seed.
This masterful lecture was presented by Dr. William Osler, the father of modern clinical medicine, on October 18th 1906 as the Harveian Oration, a yearly lecture held at the Royal College of Physicians in London, first instituted by William Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, 1656. Initially mandated to be given in Latin, since 1865 it has been presented in English.
The Growth of Truth is presented in full, unabridged form.

This will interest anyone interested in science or history in general.
The Growth of Truth discusses the evolution of knowledge in medicine, using Harvey’s pivotal discovery of the circulation of the blood as the prime example of how seemingly sudden advances in medicine and science don’t just happen, but come about only when the ground has been plowed and is ready for seed.
This masterful lecture was presented by Dr. William Osler, the father of modern clinical medicine, on October 18th 1906 as the Harveian Oration, a yearly lecture held at the Royal College of Physicians in London, first instituted by William Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, 1656. Initially mandated to be given in Latin, since 1865 it has been presented in English.
The Growth of Truth is presented in full, unabridged form.

Haematomyelia from Gunshot Wounds of the Spine. A Report of Two Cases, with Recovery following Symptoms of Hemilesion of the Cord.

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.
