Romance, Poetry, and Surgical Sleep Literature Influences Medicine

'œ...should have wide appeal to those who are interested in romantic literature, the history of medicine, 19th-century and early 20th-century poets, and the discovery of anesthesia. While the question, "What took so long?" may not be unique, it has not to my knowledge been critically examined. That it has now been studied by a scholar of English literature who also happens to be a world-renowned anesthesiologist is, indeed, unique, as well as an important contribution to our understanding of how Western civilization has come to view pain and the true significance of modern anesthesiology.'' JAMAPapper, E.
