In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. 8 pp. Lower blank margin of pages creased. Small piece torn from blank vertical margin of first leaf. Good. First Edition. Presented at the Clinical Meeting of The Massachusetts General Hospital, Jan. 10, 1908. "The younger and lower-level surgeons did most of the night emergencies at the MGH, and on one Christmas night (1901), Codman made a preoperative diagnosis of a perforated duodenal ulcer and successfully operated on the patient. It was the first case thus diagnosed and operated on at the Massachusetts General Hospital and stimulated his interest in this problem, then thought to be very unusual. . . . The February 13, 1908, edition of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal contained two nonorthopaedic articles by Codman. . . . The second was the first of his numerous articles on duodenal ulcers. In this first paper on duodenal ulcers [offered here], Codman reported on six cases of acute perforation of the ulcers, beginning with the one noted above when he was taking the night call. . . . After this paper, the duodenal ulcer would be Codman's main interest for the next several years. . . . Between 1908 and 1911, Codman would publish nine seminal papers on duodenal ulcer. In this country, he would become one of the experts on the topic. . ." (Mallon, Ernest Amory Codman, pp. 39-41). Codman and Harvey Cushing had been friends since Harvard Medical School days in the early 1890s. On January 3, 1911, Cushing wrote to Codman: "I have been going over the M.G.H. 'publications' and rereading your duodenal papers. They are simply 'bang up!'--by far the best things that have been written, and written--what's more--in by far the most effective, readable, and telling way. You're a wonder as I've always secretly thought. The only reason they didn't make you the prospective surgeon to the Brigham was that it would have looked like a family affair--architect et al. [Stephen Russell Hurd Codman was the architect of the Brigham Hospital and was the cousin of Ernest Amory Codman]. I wish they'd do it now and let me back out" (Fulton, Harvey Cushing, p. 317).

Wrappers crinkled, creased, with discoloration (see photos). Newspaper photo of Codman glued to p. 3. Good. First Edition. "Thomas Todd Co. Printers Boston" is printed at the bottom of the rear wrapper in small type (see photo). The printed slip (tipped in at the title page, see photo): "This Report will be sent gratis to any member of the American College of Surgeons or to any member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. To others the price will be one dollar. When you are through with this copy, kindly hand it to some other person preferably to a Hospital Trustee". This is the third, and final, report by Codman on "hospital efficiency" and his "end result" idea. His first report, on the first two years in his private hospital, was issued in May 1914; the second report on the next two years was issued in October 1915; and this third report on the first five years was issued either in late 1917 or early 1918 (there is a review of the third report in a medical journal in January 1918, so we know it was available no later than January 1918). All three reports were privately printed for Codman by Thomas Todd Co., printer in Boston. Todd is not mentioned on the title page, but the Todd imprint is on the rear wrapper, in small type, at the bottom of each report (see photo for this third report). In his famous book The Shoulder (1934, also privately printed for Codman by Thomas Todd), Codman stated that he still had "many copies" of his third report. Six years later, in 1940, Codman died. At that time, remaining copies of the third report were bound in blue cloth, with a pouch on the inside of the rear cover to hold the large folding chart, and distributed at Codman's request. The blue cloth copies have a printed label stating "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital, in fulfillment of a special request made by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd, 1940." This blue cloth issue is sometimes called the first edition, but this is not correct. Although the sheets and the folding table are original, the blue cloth version is a later issue from 1940. The original edition of the third report is in printed wrappers [offered here]. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LARGE, FOLDING CHART: Codman's first two reports did not contain a large, folding chart. The chart was added to the third report. As Codman states on p. 69 of the third report, this chart was "loose": "In this large chart which I present to you (see loose leaf). . . ." UNFORTUNATELY this loose leaf is missing in the copy offered here. Garrison-Morton 1664.1 (citing the first report by Codman in 1914): "Pioneer application of efficiency engineering principles to hospital administration, made over a two year period. Codman was responsible for the 'end result idea'. This revolutionary concept, which seems so obvious today, was that a hospital should follow every patient it treats long enough to determine whether or not the treatment was successful. If the treatment was not successful the cause of failure should be determined in order to prevent similar failures in the future. Codman was exceptionally outspoken in his views." I have quoted only the beginning of the Garrison-Morton entry, which can be found online for free. The remainder of the entry details the publication history of the three reports by Codman on "hospital efficiency".

Laid in is the printed label: "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital, in fulfillment of a special request made by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd, 1940." The sheets and chart are the original first printing from 1918, published in wrappers, (hence we are calling it a first thus) and the binding Codman, who had multiple copies of this third and final of three hospital reports, had done in 1940. Technically, however, this is not the true first edition in that it was bound at a date much later than the initial publication. From Wikipedia about Codman, and I quote: "He was an advocate of hospital reform and is the acknowledged founder of what today is known as outcomes management in patient care. Codman was the first American doctor to follow the progress of patients through their recoveries in a systematic manner. He kept track of his patients via 'End Result Cards' which contained basic demographic data on every patient treated, along with the diagnosis, the treatment he rendered, and the outcome of each case. Each patient was followed up on for at least one year to observe long-term outcomes. It was his lifelong pursuit to establish an 'end results system' to track the outcomes of patient treatments as an opportunity to identify clinical misadventures that serve as the foundation for improving the care of future patients. He also believed that all of this information should be made public so that patients could be guided in their choices of physicians and hospitals." A couple of very small tears at the fold junctions on the fold-out else fine in a bright, fine binding. Uncommon.

Garrison-Morton 4400.4: "Definitive study of the rotator cuff, written in Codman's idiosyncratic and iconoclastic style." "Dr. Codman's unusual book was the cause of a great deal of comment at the time of publication. The book was largely autobiographical in Dr. Codman's peculiar style. The large amount of labor expended and the seriousness with which Dr. Codman treated the subject seemed rather out of proportions to the lesion under consideration. . . . However, the work will have its place on library shelves as an unusual, personal, scientific and clinical document" (Orr, A Catalogue of the H. Winnett Orr Historical Collection no. 1038). One thousand copies of the first printing, at $5 per copy, were printed for sale only to Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. The second printing, which is offered here, was $10 per copy. ABOUT THE RECIPIENT DALLAS B. PHEMISTER. Phemister "was the president of the American Surgical Association and the American College of Surgeons, and was a member of the editorial board of the journal Annals of Surgery. . . . From its inception in 1920, he was involved with the Codman Registry of Bone Sarcoma, the oldest tumor registry in the United States. After its founder, Ernest Amory Codman, he was its second chair. . . . Phemister's name has been given to several medical techniques and signs. Most prominent among these is the Phemister graft, a technique for transplanting bone in cases of bone fractures with delayed union. The Phemister triad refers to three features typically seen in tuberculous arthritis: 'juxta-articular osteopenia or osteoporosis, peripheral osseous erosions, and gradual narrowing of joint spaces . . . present in any large joint including the knee, hip, and shoulder' (quoting from Wikipedia).".

The first of three reports by E. A. Codman on "Hospital Efficiency." On May 20, 1914, Codman gave an invited talk at the 39th annual meeting of the American Gynecological Society. It was published in volume 39 of their Transactions, entitled, "Study on Hospital Efficiency as Represented by Product". In the Preface to his book The Shoulder (1934), Codman refers to his talk: "my 'Study on Hospital Efficiency,' which was presented in May, 1914, at a meeting of the American Gynecological Society, where it was well received and published in their transactions (Vol. 39) of that year. In this study I was able to use the cases which had been at my own hospital from its opening, August 25, 1911, to July 30, 1913, as a practical example of the operation of the End Result Idea." In the journal publication, pages 60-95 are Codman's text, with pp. 95-100 being discussion of Codman's paper as well as a paper by Robert L. Dickinson on "Efficiency Systems". The publication offered here is a privately-printed version, identical in content to the version published in the journal. The Boston printer Thomas Todd printed all three of Codman's reports on "Hospital Efficiency", as well as Codman's book The Shoulder (1934). In the Preface to The Shoulder Codman writes of Thomas Todd: "There is a firm of printers in Boston, old and respected, and noted for its reliable work. Thomas Todd and Company are not publishers, although they have printed many books, usually for private circulation. They have not interfered with what I have written, but have painstakingly, graciously and cheerfully aided me in every way. Their staff and employees have shown the greatest consideration for my foibles and fussiness, and have let me superintend, in every detail, the arrangement of the text, charts, tables and illustrations. They are not to be censured for any of the offences herein displayed, against conventional book structure or content, and are only responsible for the printing, and for loaning the money to have it done. I hereby record my gratitude, and hope to return the money." The date of May 10th, 1914, is printed on the last page of the text. That date precedes by ten days the date of Codman's talk. I do not know when this separately-printed version was available, but it may well have preceded the appearance of the journal publication. Codman's second report, also privately printed by Thomas Todd, is dated October 19, 1915, with the title "A Study in Hospital Efficiency as Demonstrated by the Second Two Years of a Private Hospital". Codman's third and final report, also privately printed by Thomas Todd, has the title "A Study in Hospital Efficiency as Demonstrated by the Case Report of the First Five Years of a Private Hospital". It was published without a date, but was available no later than January 1918. After Codman's death in 1940, the third report was reissued with the following printed note: "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital in fulfillment of a special request made by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd 1940." This version was rebound in blue cloth. Garrison-Morton 1664.1 (citing this first report, 1914): "Pioneer application of efficiency engineering principles to hospital administration made over a five year period. Codman was responsible for the 'end result idea'. This revolutionary concept, which seems so obvious today, was that a hospital should follow every patient it treats long enough to determine whether or not the treatment was successful. If the treatment was not successful the cause of failure should be determined in order to prevent similar failures in the future. Codman was exceptionally outspoken in his views.".

"Codman wrote a series of four articles between 1902 and 1904 that began to take him away from the practice of radiology and gave the first inklings of his interest in both shoulder surgery and outcome studies. One was a very interesting article published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal "Some Points on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Certain Neglected Minor Surgical Lesions" [the offprint offered here]. In this article he discussed scaphoid fractures, giving the first X-ray description of this fracture, a problem on which he would publish more extensively one year later. . . . The seminal portion of this paper, however, was Codman's first description in print of the subacromial bursa and painful shoulder problems. He described what we now would term a 'painful arc syndrome' and 'impingement sign.' He ended the paper by discussing fractures of the calcaneus, describing what is so common today, which is the long-term disability relating to this fracture, 'I have never seen one of these cases as a late result, who did not complain of some soreness in his foot on unusual exertions, such as extreme flexion of the ankle, walking on rough ground, long standing, etc.' " (Mallon, Ernest Amory Codman, pp. 27-28; see also p. 31).
