| Physician, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He studied at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, and became a professor there. By 1930 he also held positions at three other medical schools in Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple, and the Women's College of Pennsylvania, and was president of the latter (1935–41). A specialist in laryngology, he devised an instrument that could remove lodged articles from the larynx (1890), and invented a bronchoscope (1899), later placing a tiny light on the end of it (1902). |
