l l NUCLEAR 9. lmj: THE DISCOVERY OF X RAYS While working late one night In a dark laboratory on No vember 8 1895, well known physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen noted that when electric current was passed through a Hlttorf Crookes tube, which was covered with black paper, some barium platmocyamde crystals which lay on the table began to fluoresce He noted further than a screen of the same fft material showed fluorescence with glows of varying degrees when opaque objects were placed in front of the 'screen He ,then placed his hand in front of the screen and saw upon the screen dense shadows of bones within outlines of flesh Three months after publishing his results, the Journal of the American Medical Association wrote, 'The surgeons of Vienna and Berlin believe that the Roentgen photo- graph ns destined to render ,inestimable services to surgery .FT ,ll 14. 15 5 X 10.

Dr. The Discovery of Anesthesia eee The Time: october 16, 1846 A eee eee s A A s s The Place: Massachusetts General Hospital amphitheater The Surgeon: Dr. John Collins Warren The Anesthetist: Dr. William T.G. Morton 1'i Before the discovery of anesthesia, as simple an operation as setting a fracture made the operating room seem like a medieval torture chamber: The patient was stretched on a rack, his body attached to one set of pulleys, the offending part to another, while muscular assistants tugged with all their force. Boston's most distinguished surgeons sat in the amphitheater at 10 a.m. on the above day to hear Dr. Warren, somewhat skeptically announce that a test of some preparation was to be made for which the astonishing claim had been made that it would render the person operated upon free from pain. Morton, a 27-year old dentist now studying medicine, entered, reassured his pay 1. Dr. Edward T. Thomas, Chairman Ashley A. Levy Allen B. Dobkin Gabor B. Racz Peter B. Kane 6. 7. Dr. Hernando Y. Arandia Dr. Peter H. Byles Dr. William Evers Dr. Samuel Zak 1 4 Zi Q?- tient that he would relieve, if not entirely prevent, all pain. The patient, a 8- with a congenital tumor of the neck, said I feel confident and will do precisely -,,,, as you .tell me. , As Morton adjusted his apparatus and tiegan to administer the drug, the xpatiefltiffll for one moment showed signs of becoming violent, and then sunk into a deep sleep. Open-mouthed spectators looked on' as Morton told Dr. Warren, Your patient is ready, sir. ' The operation proceeded smoothly, as the patient did not move or make a sound. After the tumor was removed and the wound sewn up, the patient was allowed to regain consciousness, and Dr. Warren asked, Did you feel any pain? A slightly dazed patient answered, No. It didn't hurt at all, although my neck did feel for a minute as if someone were scraping it with a hoe. Dr. Warren turned himself to the audience and declared, UGENTLEMEN, THIS IS NO HUNlBUGl ln. ' ...'v'N -i e ee.. 7.-Y 4- f.-. Ye 7 4. ,. -, .. ,H --.fir W, , g71,' sr' , iiaflwj' 97
