THIS MONTH IN ANESTHESIA HISTORY
On November 27, 1981, the New York Times ran a story entitled “Boy, 12, Undergoes Heart Transplant Surgery.” The story In the
wake of Morton’s October, 1846 demonstration of anesthesia at the Massachusetts General Hospital, November was a busy month in
Boston:
1846 November 7: Surgeon George Hayward performed a leg amputation and a lower jaw removal under ether anesthesia at the
MGH. These surgeries were the third and fourth at which Boston dentist William Thomas Green Morton served as anesthetist.
1846 November 9: Henry J. Bigelow, junior surgeon at the MGH, reported on Morton's four successful ether anesthesia’s to a
meeting of the Boston Society for Medical Improvements.
1846 November 12: Letter patent no. 4848 issued to Charles T. Jackson and William T.G. Morton for 10% of all profits on the use
of ether in surgical operations. Because of vociferous opposition from the medical and dental communities to such a patent, Jackson
and Morton quickly made their discovery known and freely available.
1846 November 12: First surgery in private practice under ether anesthesia in Boston takes place. J. Mason Warren, son of John
Collins Warren, is the surgeon.
1846 November 18: Bigelow's account is published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, launching the spread of ether
anesthesia around the world.
1846 November 21: In a letter to William T.G. Morton, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., suggests the word "anaesthesia" to describe the
mental state produced by the inhalation of ether vapor.

THANKSGIVING BOUNTY
The Department of Anesthesiology has much to be thankful for. Gratitude for the good things we have that many others don’t is in
order – good jobs, health, family, friends, warm homes and beds, and more than enough food. If you don’t have everything you want,
you probably still have something to share and be thankful for – that’s one of the secrets to happiness. Be thankful and share! Have
a Happy Thanksgiving.
