Synopsis
Excerpt from Backwaters of Lethe: Some Anæsthetic Notions
The following fragmentary essays are the outcome of twenty years' practice and study of anæsthetics in about half as many general and special hospitals. Recent experience in teaching the art has familiarized the author with the pitfalls that beset the path of the neophyte; many of these are of his own digging, many due to lack of appreciation of simple mechanical details. In so far as they offer hints to beginners these essays crystallize the results of this brief experience. Dealing as they do with small practical matters - too small to take up much space in the textbooks - he hopes they may have some value for commencing and occasional anæsthetists. A further object in publishing these essays is the advocacy of the author's own views and methods, which he trusts will excuse a certain egoism and dogmatism of which he is painfully conscious.
If in form this work is entirely unconventional the author offers no apology. The title should sufficiently indicate this. He hopes that he has not outraged the proprieties of medical literature. Should the pedantic detect in places a tendency to flippancy let them ponder the words of Leonard Williams: "Why should medicine be dull as well as difficult?"
