Portrait of John Warren by Rembrandt Peal. John was the first Professor of Surgery (and Anatomy) on the medical faculty of Harvard College.

Bill for professional services rendered by John Warren to an officer of the French Navy covering the period from November 1788 to August 1790. Note obstetrical charge for “Delivery Lady.” Next to his signature, Warren has certified that the bill was paid in full. Since he was a physician, not a Doctor of Medicine, there is no “M.D.” after his signature.

Elliott Cutler, Moseley Professor of Surgery and Head of the Department of Surgery at the Brigham during FDM’s medical school years. Cuder was the fourth Moseley Professor and the seventh Professor of Surgery in the direct line from John Warren.

Walter Bradford Cannon, George Higginson Professor of Physiology during FDM’s years at medical school. Cannon’s studies of the function of the adrenal glands demonstrated an integrated and highly evolved response to injury.

Student surgery course, 1938. At right is Miss Gertrude Gerrard instructing the student anesthetist Branch Craige; to their right is Elliott Cutler, making suggestions to the student surgeon Eben Alexander and his assistant John Brabson during an operation on a dog.

A Grand Rounds skit (about 1940) in which a patient joins in the fun as his feeding tube is finally removed. FDM, then a junior resident, confirms that the hated tube has in fact been withdrawn and is “closed for the season.”

John Homans (left) and David Cheever (right). These two mainstays of Brigham surgery served on the staffs of Harvey Cushing, then Elliott Cutler, and finally FDM. They are shown here at about the time of their retirement, in 1951.

Laurie and FDM in 1981 at the dedication of the seventh floor of the new Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) tower. This floor included the Bartlett Unit (named after Laurie’s father), the Laura B. Moore Unit, and the FDM Unit for Comprehensive Care.

J. Hartwell Harrison, Elliott Carr Cutler Professor of Surgery and Head of the Division of Urology, as a young man (about 1950). Harrison’s work made safe kidney transplantation possible, because he was the surgeon for all living donors in the early cases.

View up Shattuck Street about 1980. Harvard Medical School (HMS) main administration building on the near right. In the background is the newly completed tower of the BWH.

FDM playing the accordion for a Christmas party in the Surgical Office, about 1952. Holding the music is Mrs. Soma Weiss, widow of the beloved teacher of internal medicine for FDM’s generation at HMS. To her right is George Thorn, singing along.

Members of the surgical staff in 1978, two years after John Mannick took over as department head: Seated on bench (from left to right) are George Linville, John Mannick, and Jeanne Petrek. Standing are (front row) Eric Shaeffer, FDM, Frank Smith George Kacoyanis, Sigurd Guyton, Fred Mansfield, and Tom Hosea and (back row) Peter Einstein, Robert Beattie, Kurt Newman, Robert Olson, John Brooks, Clyde Lindquist, Nathan Couch, and Philip Drinker.

On a trip to Beijing, China, in 1981; FDM and Laura Moore at the Library of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences, autographing books by FDM that were ready and waiting for the author’s arrival.

Here and on the opposite page are two aerial views, taken in 1934 and 1994, showing the Brigham Hospital and a portion of the Harvard Medical School, along with some of its nearby hospitals and laboratories. Brigham Circle can be seen at the lower left in both photos. The two Greek-pillared porticos of the Brigham (bottom center) and the Medical School (just behind, to the right) have remained unchanged. Francis Street stretches upward to the left; parallel to it and to the right is Shattuck Street.

In this 1934 view, the plantings around the four Brigham pavilions and the open spaces among the surrounding hospitals lend the scene an almost rural/suburban aspect. At the intersection of Shattuck Street and Huntington Avenue (below right) stands Huntington Memorial Hospital. Children’s Hospital can be seen to the left of the Medical School, with Beth Israel Hospital above and to the right.

In this 1994 view the construction of the past 60 years becomes evident. The new tower of the Brigham includes the four hexagonal buildings (center left); below it is the Center for Women and Newborns and the two tall, rectangular towers of the Thorn Research Building, with the lower structures of the Ambulatory Care Center between them. Now, the intersection of Shattuck Street and Huntington Avenue has been taken over by the Countway Library of Medicine (below right). New construction at the Children’s and Beth Israel Hospitals as well as the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the New England Deaconess Hospital has helped to convert the entire neighborhood into a huge medical center. The two Greek porticos remain as testimony to the classical architecture of the turn of the century, Harvard Medical School having been completed in 1906 and the Brigham in 1912.

Characteristic scene in the PBBH operating room corridor. Roy Vandam, Professor and Head of the Department of Anaesthesia, may seem to be checking the operating list with one of the staff anesthetists, Patrick Bennett, but in point of fact he is looking at his watch to see if progress is on schedule.

Visiting Professor Sir James Paterson Ross of London is at the bedside with FDM. Several students could gather for conversation with both the patient and the visitor. This patient was flattered by so distinguished a visitor from abroad. She and Sir James corresponded for some years after this visit.

Characteristic scene in the surgeons’ room, about 1965. Dwight Harken is dictating operative notes after one of his operations on the heart for relief of mitral stenosis.

Sally Hurlbut. FDM’s scrub nurse for many years and daughter of close friends Dr. and Mrs. Robert S. Hurlbut of Cambridge.

Marion Metcalf, extraordinary nurse who was Head of the Department of Nursing at the PBBH and subsequently in charge of all nursing for the four merged hospitals.

John Mannick (center), FDM’s successor as Professor and Head of the Department, first at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (PBBH) and then at the newly merged Brigham and Women’s Hospital. On his right is FDM, on his left is Nicholas Tilney, the first Francis D. Moore Professor of Surgery.

Adolph Watzka, operating room orderly through the regimes of Cushing and Cutler and into the early years of FDM. Strong, gentle, and skilled in managing very sick patients, Watzka never wore a facemask in the operating room. If questioned about this, he stated that he “never breathed there.”

John R. Brooks, early arrival at PBBH with FDM and for many years assistant to FDM in administration of the Department of Surgery. Brooks later became the Frank L. Sawyer Professor and Head of Surgery for the Harvard Health Services in Holyoke House, Cambridge.

Joseph Murray receiving the Nobel Prize from the King of Sweden in December 1990, in recognition of his early successful transplant operations.

David Hume, who performed the first set of human kidney transplants between unrelated persons.

The first successful kidney transplantation in man, performed on an identical twin with his brother as donor, on December 23, 1954, at PBBH. The patient’s head (hidden by the anesthesia screen) is at the lower right. Joseph Murray, the surgeon, stands on the patient’s right. Opposite Murray is the assistant, John Rowbotham; to his left is Edward Gray, and to the surgeon’s left is Dan Pugh. Roy Vandam (back turned) is the anesthetist. To the upper right is the circulating nurse, Edith Comisky. The scrub nurse (above left) is Miss Rhodes.

The Herrick twin donor (Ronald) pushes his recipient brother (Richard) in a wheel-chair on their way home, January 1955. Both look healthy after their historic operation.

Sir Roy Calne of Cambridge (left) and Tom Starzl of Pittsburgh celebrating Sir Roy’s 25 years at Cambridge. The two leaders of transplant science are drinking tea from laboratory jugs became the teacups ran out.

Transplantation humor: “Who owns this urine?” Holding the cylinder containing the precious fluid is the donor (the patient’s twin brother) who claims it was his kidney that made the urine. On the left, Joseph Murray (the operating surgeon) claims his patient’s urine. To the right, also claiming the urine, is J. Hartwell Harrison, who removed the kidney to make its urine available to the patient. The patient (not shown), whose urine it might now appear to be, seems to have no claim at all.

Canine recipients of transplanted kidneys, enjoying company on the veranda outside the surgical laboratories of Harvard Medical School (HMS), 1960. Under azathioprine immunosuppression, these animals are healthy and well Dr. George Hitchings (center) and Dr. Gertrude Elion (to his right), the researchers who synthesized this drug, along with Dr. Donald Searle (to his left), Medical Director of Burroughs Wellcome, are visiting the lab. Dr. Joseph Murray (far right) and several members of the team. including Ted Hager (second from right), Larry Ayres (far left) and Roy Calne (second from left), are also enjoying the scene.

Paul Snowdon Russell, long-time director of surgical transplantation and research at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

FDM receives an honorary degree at the University of Edinburgh, June 25,1976. This event marked the 250th anniversary of the founding of the faculty of medicine at Edinburgh. The two robed gentlemen standing in front are Sir Hugh Robson (left), Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University, and Prince Philip (right). Behind them are the tour honorands (from left to right): FDM, Professor William Goslings of the Netherlands, Robin Irvine of the University of Otago (New Zealand), and Professor Henry Harris of Oxford.

Early morning in Korea, 1952. Scene at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH #8209), site of the surgical research unit under Colonel John M. Howard. A helicopter has brought in a wounded man.

Cover of Time, May 3,1963. The story was written by Gilbert Cant and Ruth Mehrtens.

Care begins for another casualty. The detailed study by Col. Howard of a few such wounded men made it possible to give better care to many without research.

The Moores and the Robs about 1950. Charles Rob was Professor of Surgery at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. The Moores were visiting his department as part of the Brigham-St. Mary’s exchange. Mary Rob is standing in front of FDM, on the left, and Laurie Moore is on the right.
