Über den Verfasser (Quelle: englische wikipedia): William Fiske Whitney (March 26, 1850 - March 4, 1921) was an American anatomist, curator, and pathologist. Whitney was a pioneer in the field of the medical museum and originator of the method of quick diagnosis. An obituary describes him as "another of those early pioneers in pathology and the use of the microscope on this continent of whom his contemporaries, the late Sir William Osler and Prof. William H. Welch are notable examples." He specialized in anatomy, becoming one of the top experts in the country. Later, he was much sought after by the courts for his exceptional anatomical knowledge, especially in determining if poison had any bearing on a case. Personal life Early years and education: Whitney was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 26, 1850. He was the son of William Fiske Whitney and Frances Anne (Rice) Whitney. Whitney graduated from Harvard University in 1871 and Harvard Medical School in 1875. While studying medicine he served as a house physician at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1874 to 1875, following the tradition of most eminent American physicians and surgeons of the last century. After receiving his M.D., Whitney spent three years studying anatomy abroad in Berlin, Munich, and Strasburg. Family: Whitney was married to Louisa Elliot of Stockton, California, on April 26, 1888. The family resided at 228 Marlboro Street, Boston. They had two sons, named Lyman Fiske Whitney and William Elliott Whitney. Both sons were educated at Harvard and served in the (First) World War. Hobbies and associations: He was an active member of a number of clubs and associations. His gentlemen's clubs included the Union Club, the St. Botolph Club, and the Harvard Club. An avid sailor, Whitney was a member of the Corinthian Yacht Club, the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, and the Boston Yacht Club. He also belonged to the Boston Athletic Association and The Country Club in Brookline. Whitney was also known as a linguist, having 'familiarity with more than half a dozen different languages.' Death: Whitney died from a cerebral hemorrhage at his Boston home on March 4, 1921. He was 70 years old. Professional life Clinical pathologist: Whitney was pathologist to the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1878 to his retirement in 1916; from 1901 to 1916, he was the MGH's first Surgical Pathologist. Whitney entered his profession at the time when the microscope was just beginning to feature prominently in medical teaching and practice and when scientific medicine was beginning to receive signature in the medical curriculum. MGH created a new pathology department in 1896, reflecting the growing importance of this new field. "During his tenure, Whitney saw the movement of diagnostic pathology from the realm of the surgeon to the hand of the specialist pathologist." As an active operating surgeon he perfected a method for rapid diagnosis. His rapid histological method for immediate pathological diagnosis was applied in the operating room, at the bedside, and at court. Signatur des Verfassers.…
