Herrick, James Bryan

(born Aug. 11, 1861, Oak Park, Ill., U.S.—died March 7, 1954, Chicago) U.S. physician and clinical cardiologist. He received his M.D. from Rush Medical College. His case report on a black patient with anemia included the first description of the crescent-shaped erythrocytes characteristic of sickle-cell anemia, later shown to be the precipitating factor of the disease. Herrick was also the first to identify and describe coronary thrombosis.
