If you happen to be in Edinburgh, don't forget to pay a visit to Surgeons’ Square.
Since Mary Queen of Scots gave the surgeons a special charter in 1567, Edinburgh
surgeons have helped to lay the foundation for modern surgery. Many of the surgeons
who kept developing the science over the centuries are now forgotten, but others are
famous names in the history of surgery.
Among the most famous of these was James Syme, Professor of Surgery from 1833 to
1869. His methods of operating were so drastic and fast that his colleagues ended up
calling him “The Napoleon of Surgery.” One of the principal characteristics of
surgeons at that time was their physical strength. There was no anaesthesia and
surgeons had to work extremely quickly to operate and stop the patient bleeding to
death in a question of minutes or seconds.
In 1853, Queen Victoria agreed to receive anaesthesia during the birth of her ninth child.
The era of painless operation was, at last, firmly established and mankind owes a great
debt to men like Liston and Simpson and countless others whose names are lost forever.
