A few dedicated men forged a remarkable revolution in anesthetic practice in North America during the first half of the twentieth century. Arthur Guedel was a leader of this distinguished group. His early career carried him from practice in Indiana to service in World War I as the “motorcycle anesthetist.” After years of dedicated service as a teacher and investigator, he became the first American to be awarded the Henry Hill Hickman Medal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1941. Following his death his friends developed the Guedel Memorial Anesthesia Center in San Francisco, whose extensive collections of correspondence and personal papers provide an intimate view of his career. |
