The Chloroformist by Christine Ball
Until 1846, surgery was performed without anaesthesia. Much has been written about surgery in the nineteenth century, but little has been said about the development of the relationship between surgeon and anaesthetist. In The Chloroformist, Christine Ball tells the captivating story of Joseph Clover - an innovative, hard-working and deeply humane pioneer of modern patient care.
Christine Ball is an anaesthetist at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, co-manages a Master of Medicine (Perioperative) at Monash University, and is the 2020-2024 Wood Library-Museum Laureate of the History of Anesthesiology. She has been an honorary curator at the Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History for thirty years and is the author of many works in this field.
