Beschreibung

66 pp. Original printed wrappers. Upper corner of wrappers and text pages creased. Very Good. First Edition. Pages 22-66 record the 50 cases known to Codman, 11 of which he operated on himself. "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. . . . In the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal he published two sets of serial articles. The first set was a three-part series that appeared in September 1909. . . . In November and December of that same year, he published a four-part series entitled 'The Diagnosis of Ulcer of the Duodenum' [offered here]. . . . In this series, he helped students of that time learn to distinguish between gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers by describing the differences in the symptoms. . ." (Mallon, Ernest Amory Codman, p. 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).
