Matthew Derbyshire Mann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthew Derbyshire Mann (1845-1921) was one of the physicians who attended President Mckinley after he had been shot by the anarchist Leon Czolgosz.

He was born in Utica, New York and graduated from Yale University in 1867 and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, in 1871. After two years' study in Heidelberg, Paris, Vienna, and London he practiced in New York until 1879, then in Hartford, Connecticut until 1882, and thereafter until 1910 was professor of gynecology in the University of Buffalo.

He worked as a gynecologist at the Buffalo General Hospital, and in 1894 was president of the American Gynecological Society. He edited an American System of Gynecology (two voumes, 1887-88), and wrote Immediate Treatment of Rupture of the Perineum (1874) and Manual of Prescription Writing (1878; sixth edition, revised, 1907).

His work on the President has been criticized as Medical malpractice.[citation needed]
