Excerpt from Surgical Clinics and Clinical Reports: In Honor of Lewis Stephen Pilcher
On the 28th of March, 1866, Lewis Stephen Pilcher received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Michigan, and entered upon a career, which now for fifty years has been characterized by devotion to the high ideals which have won for him the esteem of his profession and the honor and respect of the public.
On the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of his entering the medical profession, the Medical Society of the County of Kings, in New York, appointed a committee to arrange for a suitable celebration of the event. A banquet was held on the 12th of May, and on the 11th, 12th and 13th of May, Surgical Clinics were held in the hospitals of Brooklyn and surgical addresses were delivered by Brooklyn surgeons in his honor.
It was to Brooklyn in 1866 that Dr. Pilcher came to begin his medical career. It was at the Naval Hospital in Brooklyn that he entered upon the duties of the physician. In this community he has practiced his profession for forty-two years, and for the past twenty-seven years has devoted himself exclusively to surgical work.
This volume is a simple expression of the affection and respect of his surgical colleagues who are his neighbors. The great world of surgery outside of his own community has been glad to do him honor. The surgeons who are his neighbors have been the chief recipients of his benefactions because they have enjoyed the privilege of living and working within the close circle of his inspiring influence.
This volume contains the reports of the surgical clinics and surgical addresses given in honor of the man and the occasion.
