80 Years of Clinical Hematology

wintrobe-doctors

The year 2022 marked the 80th anniversary of the publication of Clinical Hematology by Dr. Maxwell M. Wintrobe, the first comprehensive textbook in the field. Dr. Wintrobe singlehandedly authored the first six editions, published between 1942 and 1967. Beginning with the seventh edition in 1974, additional editors were brought on, and in 1993, the title was officially changed to Wintrobe' s Clinical Hematology with the release of the ninth edition. To date, a total of 15 editions have been published. Dr. Wintrobe, who passed away in 1986, played a pivotal role in establishing hematology as a recognized subspecialty of internal medicine. The accompanying photo presents the first 14 editions of the textbook (shown chronologically from left to right), assembled by the authors, two of whom (JHW, PFB) were personally trained by and worked alongside Dr. Wintrobe.
