There have been two necessary developments over the last 175 years which have made surgery possible in the form it takes today: the development of anesthesia beginning in 1846, and the invention of anti-sepsis (killing of bacteria), first used in 1867. This two week course will tell the stories of the people involved, and the discoveries they made, in the development of anesthesia and anti-sepsis. Without their vision, tenacity, and willingness to fight ingrained medical beliefs and customs, 21st century surgery would not be the safe practice we take for granted today.
