Solution

Harvey Cushing was the first neurosurgeon and is considered to be the father of modern neurological surgery. In the early part of the 20th century, he developed basic techniques and instruments for operating on the brain. Cushing reduced the mortality rate for neurosurgery from 90% to less than 10%. By 1937, when he retired, he had successfully removed more than 2000 tumors. One of his most significant achievements was the development of a method to stem blood loss by inventing a clip called the 'silver clip' or the 'Cushing clip'.
