705. Louise Eisenhardt’s Personal Notes: how she and “Dr C” collected data and followed patients

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Kelsey Hundley presents a discussion on Louise Eisenhardt's personal notes and her collaboration with Dr. C to collect data on tumor patients. Eisenhardt, born in 1981, was a pioneer in neurosurgery and neuropathology. She worked with Harvey Cushing at the Brigham and later at Yale, where they focused on tumor classification. The notes show Eisenhardt's creative methods for data collection, which included sending letters to patients and conducting extensive research to locate patients who were lost to follow-up. Despite the belief that intracranial tumors were fatal, Eisenhardt's work showed that there was hope for affected individuals.
