Sweet, Professor of Surgery, Emeritus, Harvard Medical School and former Chief of the Neurosurgical Service, Massachusetts General Hospital, died on January 22, 2001. He was 90 and had had a career matched by few others in his chosen specialty. He was one of the great figures in world neurosurgery, that specialty of surgery that deals with diseases of the brain and its coverings, the spine and spinal cord, and the blood vessels to these structures. His life was characterized by an unswerving dedication to truth and scientific progress, intense intellectual activity, and an unwavering belief that we can understand and cure human disease. He made particular contributions to the study of brain tumors, pain, cerebrospinal fluid physiology and brain imaging.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dev.news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/18-sweet-1.jpg"}
