2: A Question of Attribution

from Ether/Or Hosted by Matthew Heron

Horace Wells' nitrous oxide demonstration had been a disaster, but in it an old colleague would see opportunity. A second demonstration of painless surgery would have an altogether different outcome, would turn colleagues into rivals, and would make people wonder what it really means to lay claim to a discovery. Featuring: Dr Warren Zapol MD, Reginald Jenney Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School, and Former Chief of Anaesthesia at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. Professor Deborah Bowman, Emeritus Professor of Bioethics, Clinical Ethics and Medical Law at St Georges Hospital Medical School, University of London Adam Unze as the Voice of Horace Wells. Adam is the host of the podcast ‘The Spark Parade,’ where he geeks out with artists and entertainers about their spark of cultural inspiration. www.thesparkparade.com Music by Nicola Chang Podcast Artwork by Matthew Johnston Written, recorded and edited by Dr Matthew Heron Executive Producer Joel Myers www.etherorpod.com
