Synopsis

This book uncovers the fascinating history of anesthesia, beginning with its origins in the 18th century when scientists first discovered the pain-relieving properties of gases. At the book's core is a debate over who should receive credit for the groundbreaking discovery of surgical anesthesia: Crawford Long, Horace Wells, William Morton, or Charles Jackson. The author presents evidence, including eyewitness accounts and historical documents, to shed light on each of their contributions and ultimately reveals the true discoverer of this life-altering medical advancement.
