Operations Without Pain The Practice and Science of Anaesthesia in Victorian Britain

By examining complex patterns of innovation, reversals, debate and geographical difference, the author shows how anaesthesia became established as a routine part of British medicine. This book uses information from John Snow's casebooks and London hospital archives to revise many of the existing historical assumptions.
