1852-1922: William Halsted. Father of modern surgery.
In addition to a slew of foundational achievements, here is one of the more attention grabbing highlights from his Wiki entry:
America. Fuck yeah.In 1882 he performed one of the first gallbladder operations in the United States, a cholecystotomy performed on his mother on the kitchen table at 2 am in which he removed seven gallstones.[16] His mother completely recovered.[12] Halsted also performed one of the first emergency blood transfusions in the United States.[16] He had been called to see his sister after she had given birth. He found her moribund from blood loss, and in a bold move withdrew his own blood, transfused his blood into his sister, and then operated on her to save her life.
