	Brigham and Women's Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brigham and Women's is a major teaching affiliate (and directly adjacent to the campus) of Harvard Medical School.
		Brigham and Women's Hospital represents the 1975 merger of three Harvard-affiliated Boston hospitals: The Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (formed in 1913), the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital (1914), and the Boston Hospital for Women (itself a merger of the Boston Lying-in Hospital (1832) and the Free Hospital for Women (1875)).
		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.

	Brigham & Women's and Children's Hospitals-Peter M. Black Neurosurgical Fund
		The Neurosurgical Service at Brigham and Women's Hospital is distinguished by a skilled and talented team of surgeons, scientists, trainees, and staff all committed to achieving excellence in patient care, teaching, and research.
		A colleague of Dr. Black's at Children's Hospital, Dr. Judah Folkman, first investigated the idea that one may be able to control tumor growth by preventing the development of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis.
		However, their ability to sustain the clinical and scientific momentum which has gained them the acclaim of their peers in medicine and the gratitude of patients and their families is threatened by limited research dollars and a changing healthcare reimbursement environment.

	Milestones in BWH History
		1980 — The Brigham and Women’s Hospital opens its doors, welcoming patients to a new, state-of-the-art facility six years after the formal affiliation of three distinguished predecessors, the Boston Hospital for Women, the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital.
		The facility, which in 1999 is named the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health, sets a new standard in obstetrical and newborn care, featuring home-like birthing suites, private postpartum and antepartum rooms that promote family-focused care, and a 46-bed Newborn Intensive Care Unit with overnight rooms for parents.
		Harvesting four organs from a single donor — a kidney, two lungs and a heart — hospital surgeons give new hope to four patients, all of whom weather their surgeries well.

		The ruling board and administrative structure of that hospital did not falter in their support of the quixotic objective of treating end-stage renal disease despite a long list of tragic failures that resulted from these early efforts - leavened only by occasional encouraging notations such as those in the identical twin case.
		After many consultations with experienced physicians within and outside the Brigham and with clergy of all denominations, we felt it reasonable to offer the operations to the recipient, the donor, and their family.
		Once the patients and the team decide to proceed with the transplant, an extra professional burden falls on the surgeon performing the donor nephrectomy because his patient is expected to survive normally.

		He accused doctors and nurses at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital of assaulting him and tore out his catheter in a vain attempt to escape.
		At the time, transplant researchers were starting to understand why their experiments so often failed: The same immune system that protects people from disease also attacks the transplanted organ as though it were an invader, causing organ rejection and, often, an agonizing death for the patient.
		Murray and other key doctors, including the Brigham's kidney research chief John Merrill and chief surgeon Francis Moore, knew that their success would raise profound ethical issues: For the first time, doctors would subject a healthy person to the risks of surgery to help another patient.

	Harvard Gazette: Leroy David Vandam
		Leroy David Vandam, M.D., the first Harvard Medical School Professor of Anesthesia at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, now Brigham and Women's Hospital, died April 8, 2004 in Needham, Massachusetts in the 90th year of his life.
		Concern about the very same issue has recently arisen again, and the early work of Vandam and Dripps on 10,098 spinal anesthetics, and of Vandam and E.J. Wolley on a similar concern regarding brachial plexus blocks, is still quoted as evidence for the great safety of such procedures when the correct methods are followed.
		Vandam's time at the Brigham was characterized by his desire to bring a new distinction to the nature and practice of anesthesiology, a task he undertook at the expense of his own research.

		In 1944, Dr. Murray was inducted into the Medical Corps of the United States Army and assigned to the plastic unit at the Valley Forge General Hospital, where he met Dr. Bradford Cannon and began his career as a plastic surgeon.
		The Brigham had no formal residency established for plastic surgery, and thus Dr. Murray, upon completion of his general surgical residency, went to New York City for specific training in plastic surgery at the New York and Memorial Hospitals.
		Murray served as the chief plastic surgeon at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, which later became Brigham and Women's Hospital, until 1986.
