Happy Ether Day!

October 16 is “Ether Day” — celebrating the first time anesthesia was successfully used for surgery in 1846. The “Ether Dome” where the surgery took place is now a historic landmark in Boston. That early anesthetic that is usually inhaled was born in a very specific place, a place known as the Ether Dome at Mass General Hospital in Boston. -- Courtesy NPR
