Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Significance and Effect of Pain For the great honor of being invited to deliver the Ether Day Address for the year 1914, I wish first to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the trustees and officers of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Returning, as I do, after the lapse of a quarter of a century, my mind is filled with memories of the time so pleasantly and profitably spent as a house pupil in the wards of this hospital, just twenty-five years ago. As a member of the old West Side surgical staff, it was my great privilege to serve under those master surgeons, John Homans, Charles B. Porter, and Arthur T. Cabot, and to have the opportunity to observe the work of their equally illustrious colleagues on the East Side, H. H. A. Beach, Maurice H. Richardson, and John Collins Warren. I should be untrue to myself and ungrateful indeed if I failed at this time and in this place to acknowledge the debt that I owe to these distinguished men and their associates upon the staff of this hospital, for the stimulus received from them toward high ideals in thought and work; for kindly admonition and advice; for encouragement when sorely needed; and best of all, for that unconscious aid and instruction so freely imparted and received in that intimate personal association which always characterizes the relationship between the true teacher and his pupils. The Massachusetts General Hospital, in the value of its scientific achievements and in its long roll of illustrious names, has contributed much to American medicine. From its earliest beginnings it has always stood for the best things in medicine and surgery, and in many respects has served as a model for others to follow. But illustrious as is its past and glorious as are the promises for its future, for me at least it can never be quite the same as it was twenty-five years ago.
