Dr. Schreiner and Dr. Yaster, thank you for your succinct and accurate history of the medical use of Nitrous Oxide and Ether. I appreciate the omission of He Who Must Not Be Named: Craw***d L**g. While Morton’s behavior was certainly less than, magnanimous, it was at least true, and not “Ah, um, yes, well I have been using that for years but didn’t tell anyone.” I think it’s important that younger anesthesia providers know about the advent of a pioneering discovery in Medicine.
