About
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!"
