Title:

Fallacies and Useful Truths: An Overview of History and Science for the Anesthesiologist...or...Lust, Torture and Depravity: The Anatomy of Derangement.

Introduction: Kathryn E. McGoldrick, M.D. and Susan A. Vassallo, M.D.

The Lewis H. Wright Memorial Lecture of the Wood Library-Museum honors a distinguished Pioneer in American Anesthesiology who gave himself tirelessly to dignify and accredit the discipline of anesthesiology as a clinical science and medical specialty.  No part of the country was too far or too remote for him to reach with his advice and support.  Because he had the wisdom to envision the value of the use of curare in anesthesia, he made his most significant contribution to anesthesiology in 1940 when he first suggested and later arranged for the clinical trials of this remarkable drug which has revolutionized the practice of anesthesiology for all time.  In 1955, the American Society of Anesthesiologists recognized his contributions by according him their highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award.  This Lectureship will serve to remind us now, and in the years to come, of his honored place in the specialty of Anesthesiology.
