Note(s) : Notes bibliogr.
From the laughing gas parties and 'ether frolics' of the 1830s, to the scientific
specialty of today, this book explains how advances in anaesthesia contributed to
the development of safe and successful medical practice. Throughout this narrative,
the authors provide fascinating insights into the personalities involved: from Wells,
Morton and Jackson, originators of general anesthesia, to Freud and Koller's legacy
of cocaine addiction and Queen Victoria's insistence during childbirth, "we are going
to have this baby and we are going to have chloroform!"
