ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT | REFERENCES

Among the giants of internal medicine of the 20th century, James B. Herrick stands tall. Few physicians have described and clearly delineated a disease as important as myocardial infarction. Very few indeed have also opened the door for the understanding of an entirely different but, when considered on a world-wide basis, perhaps equally important group of diseases: the hemoglobinopathies. Therefore, Dr. Herrick's description of sickle cell anemia was also an epochal contribution to clinical medicine.

It was my good fortune to meet Dr. Herrick while I was still a fledgling, an intern. His week's sojourn at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital as visiting professor was an inspiration to the entire house staff. His kindness to us and his compassion for patients indicated that he agreed with the statement of Benjamin Franklin: "... when I am employed in serving others I do not look on myself as conferring favors but paying debts."
