  • The American Journal of Pathology
    THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY VOLK IDC, SUPPLEMENT I933 WHOLE No. 54 FRANK BURR MALLORY AND THE PATHOLOGICAL DEPART- MENT OF THE BOSTON CITY HOSPITAL * TIxOMY IYm, M.D. The history of a successful institution is often the history of a man. This is particularly true of the pathological department of the Boston City Hospital. The hospital was dedicated and opened in i864 for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases. Dr. Charles E. Swan is referred to as pathologist in connection with the dedicatory exercses, but is not mentioned in the annual report for I864. Like many of his succes- sors Dr. Swan evidently used the position as a stepping-stone to appointment on the clinical staff, becoming physian to outpatients in i868. Dr. S. G. Webber was appointed pathologist in I870 and Dr. William P. Bowles in i873. The dead house and autopsy room were located on the east side of Albany Street in a part of the boiler house, near the location of the new Mallory Institute. Complaint was made in I870, "now that Albany Street has become so great and important a thorough- fare," that the carrying of bodies across the street, not at first ob- jectionable, had become so. In I871 improvements were made in the boiler house and a morgue was established, not only for those dying in the hospital, but also "for the reception and identification of the unknown dead found elsewhere." Record is especially made in i878 of the appointment of Dr. E. G. Cutler as pathologist. In i88o it is interesting to read that "through the liberality of the City Government the Superintendent's office at the hospital has been connected by telephone with police headquarters." In i88i Dr.

  • David Hurwitz David Hurwitz, Clinical Professor of Medicine Emeritus, Died on February 22, 1992 at the Age of 86
    David Hurwitz David Hurwitz, Clinical Professor of Medicine Emeritus, died on February 22, 1992 at the age of 86. From 1950 until 1971, Dr. Hurwitz was Chair of the Department of Medicine at the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, as well as Chief of the Diabetes Clinic at the Boston City Hospital. He was regarded as a prototype clinician-teacher by several generations of medical students, houseofficers from the Harvard Medical Units at the City, as well as research fellows and faculty. He was a visionary, yet very practical and realistic in his role as an innovator, administrator, educator, and counselor. Born in Boston’s West End, Hurwitz spent his entire life within the environs of the city, save for a year’s fellowship in Chicago. He attended English High School and Harvard College, and graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1929. As a clerk, he became enthralled with the Boston City Hospital when exposed to such luminaries as George Minot, Edwin Locke, Soma Weiss, William Castle, and Maxwell Finland. Upon graduation from medical school, he began his official association with the Boston City Hospital, where he served as a “pup” (intern) on the Second Harvard Medical Service. His attachment to the City and the Thorndike Memorial Laboratory continued until 1974 when the Harvard Unit was dissolved. In the early 1950s, in the setting of a municipal hospital, Hurwitz designed and directed the first comprehensive clinic for patients with diabetes. That clinic provided total integrated medical care for all individuals with diabetes who received their care at the Boston City Hospital.
