Historical notes

Harvey Cushing was named the surgeon-in-chief at the founding of Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1913 and remained in this position for two decades, at the height of his storied career. 

Soma Weiss was named the physician-in-chief of Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1939.  He is noted for his discovery of esophagel lacerations with alcoholics, which was later termed as Mallory-Weiss syndrome.

In 1954, the first successful human organ transplant, a kidney transplanted from one identical twin to another, was accomplished at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. Joseph Murray, MD, received the Nobel Prize in 1990 for this work and the subsequent development of immunosuppressive drugs.

The Peter Bent Brigham Hospital was the home of the first coronary care unit (CCU), dedicated to the care of patients with acute heart disease. -->
