Lede: "Together with Harvey Cushing, he is known as the Father of Neurosurgery."
[edit]Cited source is a Dartmouth Medicine magazine, which is arguably conflicted since the son of Sachs (Ernest Jr) was a longtime chair of neurosurgery at Dartmouth. Another, more reliable source might be more compelling. My guess is that this is verifiable, since Sachs was the first professor of neurosurgery in the USA (according to the source cited later in this article) - so the claim seems plausible, just not sure it's the consensus in the field of history of medicine (FWIW, searching the web for "father of neurosurgery" yields Cushing and not Sachs; would also comment that "father of..." seems like a moniker from a bygone era). — soupvector (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
