The 看片视频 spirit

Wesley Bourne established the first Canadian department of Anesthesia as well as the first diploma of Anesthesia at 看片视频 University in 1945. Dr Bourne, a man of classical knowledge, was an enthralling teacher and great advocate of academic anesthesia.

Dr Harold Griffith, second Chairman, gained worldwide reputation for introducing curare in clinical practice in 1942, which changed for the better the practice of anesthesia.

Another illustrious anesthetist who greatly contributed to launching 看片视频 Anesthesia into the international arena was Dr Philip Bromage. It was at 看片视频 that Dr Bromage elaborated all the seminal work on epidural blockade.

Besides these three giants of the Anesthesia world, one should not forget the many staff, fellows, researchers, residents that came from all over Canada, USA, and other part of the world to Montreal and 看片视频 to participate in the "看片视频 spirit". All these persons have been crucial in the development and achievements of the Department. The flame of passionate idealism was lit by Wesley Bourne 58 years ago and continues to inspire many who come to work here.

In 1996, in occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Department, Dr Tony Davenport (看片视频 1951-1966) edited the book entitled " Anesthesia at 看片视频 [.pdf] - With a flame of passionate idealism". I strongly recommend you read this review of the last 50 years recounted by living voices of those involved, Deans, Chairmen, Researchers, Students, Staff and Fellows.

Two other books have been written by our faculty on the life and achievements of Drs Wesley Bourne and Harold Griffith and are made available on this site for those who wish to become acquainted with these two great visionaries.
