Inhalational anaesthesia was the first medical and scientific
technique to become a legitimate means of pain relief. Its
introduction to medicine in 1846 sparked one of the most intense
public debates of the period. It challenged religious principles
and at its center posed one of medicine's fundamental questions:
risk versus benefit of medical intervention. This book explains how
the introduction of anaesthesia intertwines with a wide variety of
other nineteenth century medical and cultural issues: the growing
elitism of surgery, the emerging professionalism of medicine, the
popular and progressive culture of science and the secularization
of society.
