Sir Vincent Zachary Cope MD MS FRCS (14 February 1881 – 28 December 1974) was an English physician and surgeon perhaps best known for authoring the book Cope's Early Diagnosis of the Acute abdomen from 1921 until 1971.[1] The work remains a respected and standard text of general surgery to this day and new editions continue being published by editors long after his death,[2][3] the most recent one being the 22nd edition, published in 2010.[4]
Cope also wrote widely on the history of medicine and of public dispensaries.
