Anesthetist, London, England.
Abstract
NOT MANY YEARS AGO the administration of an endotracheal anesthetic was outside the routine of the operating theater. Its introduction excited such interest as would be accorded to the performance of an unusual or difficult operation. It is not improbable, perhaps, that the procedure was at first regarded as an unnecessary complication. Doubtless also the patience of many a surgeon has been sorely tried on a busy operating day by the first attempts of his anesthetist.
