The pathology of private anaesthetic practice – Anaesthesia – a ‘paper doll’ or a bridge between science and medicine?
Abstract
‘It has been shown that in my earliest professional life – student’s life – the tremendous subject which called for the attention of the medial mind the world over was that of Anaesthesia. To be able at will to master pain, and to inflict acute suffering, as it would have been inflicted, without causing sensation, was considered by many to be a modern miracle!’
‘So swift thy hand, I could not feel
The progress of the cutting steel.’1
