Halsted, William Stewart (1852–1922)

US surgeon. For most of his career he was affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital (1889–1922), where he trained many surgeons. In 1881, he administered what is thought to be the first blood transfusion in the USA. He devised successful operative techniques for breast cancer and inguinal hernia and discovered the anesthetic use of cocaine (1884). Halsted was born in New York City.
