Paul F. Eve [1806-1877] was one of the most prominent surgeons in Tennessee in the 19th century. Eve was elected Professor of Surgery in the Medical College of Georgia, just then organized in Augusta, and taught there for 17 years. In 1851, Eve became Professor of Surgery in the newly organized Medical School of the University of Nashville. He served as President of the American Medical Association in 1857-58. He served as a Confederate surgeon throughout the Civil War. ‘As a surgeon Eve was best known for performing lithotomies. In his lifetime he performed 238 lithotomies with a mortality of only 8 percent. Eve was an all-around surgeon of international recognition. At a time when most surgeons lost many patients, he had a remarkably low mortality rate due to his preoperative preparation of the patient and his gentle handling of tissue' (library.vanderbilt.edu/specialcollections/history-of-medicine/exhibits/biopages/peve.php)
