Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Austin Flint, I was an American physician, and a founder of Buffalo Medical College, precursor to The State University of New York at Buffalo.
Background
Austin Flint, I was born on October 20, 1812, at Petersham, Massachusetts, the son of Doctor Joseph Henshaw Flint of Northampton, Massachusetts; grandson and namesake of Austin Flint, a surgeon in the Revolutionary army, and great-grandson of Edward Flint, likewise a medical practitioner, was born in Petersham, Massachusetts.
Education
After undergraduate studies at Amherst and Harvard, Flint, I received his medical degree from the latter institution in 1833.
Although he probably never studied abroad, some of his teachers were in close touch with the brilliant French school of the day and from the first he pursued the statistical method and habit of case recording of the eminent Parisian clinician Louis; and even comparatively early in his career he had accumulated thousands of folios of notes intended to serve as a basis for his major textbooks, which, Flint, I held, should be written only after ripe experience.
Career
Following a short stay in Northampton, Flint, I settled in Boston but after a few years’ experience moved to Buffalo (1836) as a better field for a young and ambitious man.
He was professor of medical theory and practise at Rush Medical College, Chicago, in 1844 - 1845, and in 1845 established the Buffalo Medical Journal which he conducted for ten years.
In 1847, with F. H. Hamilton and J. P. White, he founded the Buffalo Medical College. While nominally a resident of Buffalo and from 1847 to 1861 titular incumbent of the local chair of medicine, he filled the same chair in the University of Louisville, 1852 - 1856; and in the New Orleans Medical College, 1859 - 1861.
Although his nominal residence was transferred to New York in 1859, Flint, I does not seem to have been entirely settled there until 1861. In moving to the metropolis at the age of forty-nine he defied the local tradition that success is possible only to a young man with proper local background and influence. Failure was freely predicted and active opposition encountered; and some of the juniors of Flint’s rival consultants seem never to have forgiven his success.
He began his metropolitan career by accepting the chair of pathology and practical medicine at Long Island College Hospital in 1861, and in the same year cooperated with others in founding Bellevue Hospital Medical College. Flint, I became the first incumbent of the chair of internal medicine in the latter institution. For the next quarter of the century he performed the functions of hospital physician, teacher, textbook author, and consultant. By 1863 he was giving special courses in physical diagnosis.
Flint, I was president of the New York Academy of Medicine, 1873; delegate to the International Medical Congress at London, 1881; and president of the American Medical Association, 1883 - 1884.
But for his sudden death from apoplexy, in 1886 he would have had the distinction of reading a paper by request before the British Medical Association, and in 1887 would have been president of the International Medical Congress at Washington. Austin Flint, I died on March 13, 1886, in Manhattan, New York City. His funeral was held at Christ Church United Methodist at the corner of Fifth-avenue and Thirty-fifth-street in Manhattan. His body was on display at his home 418 Fifth-avenue.
Achievements
Austin Flint, I was one of the most eminent of 19th-century physicians, and a pioneer of heart research in the United States. He discovered (1862) a disorder — now known as the Austin Flint murmur — characterized by regurgitation of blood from the aorta into the heart before contraction of the ventricles.
