Ether Day and The Discovery of Anesthesia in 1846

This talk will focus on the discovery of anesthesia and how that changed the practice of surgery and medicine altogether. Although anesthesia meant that surgical patients in effect became silenced, the discovery of anesthesia can ultimately be hailed as one of the greatest achievements in medical history, and has made safe surgery possible for patients.
