Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bibliography of Articles on the History of American Medicine Compiled From "Writings on American History" 1902-1937
Dr. Judson Bennett Gilbert died on May 31, 1950, at the age of 51, of malignant hypertension, with many works accomplished but with many more projects in a partially completed state. Fortunately for us the bibliography herein published is one of his completed tasks. Dr. Gilbert was born in Schenectady, New York, attended the local schools, Union College, and was graduated from Syracuse Uni versity College of Medicine in 1926. He interned at the Albany Hos pital and became a resident at the Memorial Hospital in New York City. He specialized in urology, was elected a Diplomate of the American Board of Urology, and was intensely interested in cancer, especially of the urinary tract. His writings on testis tumors were extensive and are frequently referred to by subsequent writers on that subject. Early in his professional career Dr. Gilbert acquired an interest in medical history. His first paper, written in collaboration with Dr. E. R. Wiese, and published in the Annals of Medical History in 1931, was a study of Theodor Kocher. Later he translated a paper by a.a.s. Verneuil written in 1859, describing the problems to be overcome in searching for the original references to surgery of amputations. In 1942, Dr. Gilbert published a Facsimile Copy of the Questionnaire from the First Cancer Society, of printed in the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal in 1806.
