Hi, this week i´m going to talk
about, drum roll please… William Morton.
You might be thinking, Who is
William Morton?, well William Thomas Green Morton was born on August 9, 1919 on
Charlton, Massachusetts. In 1840 income to Baltimore College of dental surgery and
then moved on 1842 to Hartford, Connecticut where he continued his studies
under the menthorship of Horace Wells, later they will be partners.
After a serie of experiments with
diethyl ether and the anaesthetic effect, he had the chance to try diethyl
ether in a human at September 30, 1846, when the cellist Eben Frost agreed to
use diethyl ether to extract a purulent molar.
After this, he received an
invitation from the profesor John Collins Warren to the general hospital of
Massachusetts with the petition of execute a demostration. Gilbert Abbott was a
patient with tuberculosis and with the ether the doctor Warren was able to
extract a superficial tumor under the lower jaw on the left side of the patient
neck. This event is considered the birth of the modern anesthesiology.
In conclusion you have to thank
William Morton because he made odontology less painful.
