He, William Osler, William Halsted, and William Welch together are known as the "Big Four", the founding professors at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He is credited with establishing gynecology as a specialty by developing new surgical approaches to gynecological diseases and pathological research. He also developed several medical innovations, including the improved cystoscope, Kelly's clamp, Kelly's speculum, and Kelly's forceps. He was a clinical innovator, performing the first successful Cesarean section (C-section) in Philadelphia in 1888, and pioneered the use of radium in the treatment of gynecological cancer. At the end of his career his 550 articles and books covered a wide range of clinical subjects, including urogynecology, caesarean delivery, pulmonary resuscitation, appendectomy, electrosurgery, and ureteral catheterization. He was also well known for his devotion to his lifelong Episcopal faith. Kelly kept the Sabbath, read the bible daily, and often lectured or wrote on the subject of religion. One of his books, A Scientific Man and the Bible strove to balance his faith and his career; another book was a biography of Dr. Walter Reed. Kelly also dabbled in botany, natural history, anthropology, and politics. (Wikipedia) Kelly’s service to the medical community was recognized time and time again by academic institutions. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University of Pennsylvania in 1907 as well the same degree from the University of Aberdeen, Washington College, Washington and Lee, and Johns Hopkins.
