'''Armand James Quick''' (1894 – January 26, 1978) was an American [[haematologist]] and expert on [[blood clotting]], having developed the original [[prothrombin time]] test.
==Early life and education==
Quick was born in [[Theresa, Wisconsin]] in 1894, the son of a hardware merchant and housewife. At the age of five, Quick developed [[Pott disease]]: his father soon died of [[tuberculosis]] and his mother opened a dressmaking shop in the home while she taught her son.<ref name=NYTObit></ref>
Quick graduated from the [[University of Wisconsin]] in 1918, receiving a [[PhD]] from the [[University of Illinois]] in 1922 and an [[M.D.]] from [[Cornell University]] in 1928.<ref name=NYTObit/>
==Medical career==
Quick began researching at Cornell and [[Fifth Avenue Hospital]] in [[New York City]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> While at the hospital, he developed the [[prothrombin time]] test (also known as the Quick test), which is used in the regulation of blood-thinning drugs. He also developed the prothrombin consumption time test, which became useful in diagnosing [[haemophilia]].<ref name=NYTObit/>
He later moved to [[Milwaukee]] and joined the faculty of [[Medical College of Wisconsin|Marquette University]] (now the Medical College of Wisconsin),<ref name=NYTObit/> where he served as associate professor of [[pharmacology]] from 1935.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> He was chair of the Department of Biochemistry from 1944 until 1964.<ref name=MCWaward> Biochemistry Medical College of Wisconsin |url=https://ift.tt/3gMpFeF |website=www.mcw.edu |access-date=April 30, 2021}}</ref>
In 1944, Quick received the [[American Medical Association]]'s gold medal.<ref name=ScienceAwards1954>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> In 1950, the [[Wisconsin State Medical Society]] awarded him the Council Award for his "attainments in the science and art of medicine and surgery".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> He received the [[Modern Medicine Award]] in 1954.<ref name=ScienceAwards1954/>

==Legacy==
The Medical College of Wisconsin named an award after Quick, which is "given to honor the senior students who, in the opinion of the faculty of the Department of Biochemistry, have demonstrated outstanding scholarship in Biochemistry and research with a dedication to future medical research".<ref name=MCWaward/>
[[Helen Payling Wright]] described Quick as "distinguished" in a review of his 1957 book ''Haemorrhagic Diseases''.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> In a review of his 1970 book ''Bleeding Problems in Clinical Medicine'', [[M.
