| biography:
| Surgeon and physiologist, born in Chili, Ohio, USA. He spent much of his working life in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was founder and first director of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (1921–40). He did important experimental work on the causes and prevention of surgical shock, and devised a method (which he called ‘anoci-association’) of combining drugs and anaesthetics which relaxed the patient and made surgical complications easier to control. |
