Brodie lectured at the Great Windmill Street School for eight years before his appointment as surgeon at St. George's Hospital. His pioneering work in surgical techniques soon propelled him to the peak of his profession where, for over thirty years, he remained one of England's best-known physicians. He made contributions in a variety of areas including experimental physiology, pathological anatomy, surgery, digestion, and articular diseases. A tactful, self-effacing man, Brodie endeared himself to both colleagues and patients. Brodie's treatise on diseases of the joints is his most important work and includes pathological observations and case studies on inflammation (including Brodie's abscess), ulceration, and tumors of the joints.
