| 词条 | Walter Channing (physician) |
| 释义 |
Born in Newport, Rhode Island, Channing entered Harvard College in 1804, but was expelled because of his involvement in the "rotten cabbage brawl" at Harvard. After studying medicine in Boston and Philadelphia, he received his diploma from the University of Pennsylvania, and then studied in the University of Edinburgh, receiving a degree there as well. He also studied at Guy's and St. Thomas's hospitals in London. He began to practice in Boston in 1812, and in the same year became lecturer on obstetrics at Harvard.[2] He was the first Professor of Obstetrics and Medical Jurisprudence at Harvard University (then called Harvard College), a position he held from 1815 to 1854.[3] In 1832, he co-founded the Boston Lying-in Hospital for destitute women, now Brigham and Women's Hospital.[4] He became, in 1821, Dr. James Jackson's assistant as physician of the newly established Massachusetts General Hospital, and continued there for nearly twenty years.[2] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1818.[5] He was one of the first American physicians to employ anesthesia during childbirth, and wrote a treatise in its favor, serving as the main American advocate of the practice at the time.[3][6] He was a founder and first President of the Massachusetts Society for Aiding Discharged Prisoners in 1846. The MSADP continues to follow the same objectives today. Channing died in Brookline, Massachusetts. Works
