This week we honor a medical specialty built on innovation, precision, and an unwavering commitment to patient safety. In 1933, Dr. Arthur Guedel described his newly developed rubber airway, which posed less risk to the patient than earlier oral airways made of metal. #PAW26
Anesthesiologists have been powering innovation in patient care for generations. Dr. John Bonica was one such innovator when he instituted the first Obstetrical Anesthesiology Service in the U.S. offering 24-hour, seven-days-a-week coverage, including regional analgesia. #PAW26
The WLM would like to wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! Please note, offices will be closed December 24th thru January 1st.
As we wrap up 2025 we wanted to say thank you for being part of the growing WLM family. Without your support we would not have been able to accomplish all that we have. There is still time to make a donation and we ask you to please consider doing so at woodlibrarymuseum.org/about/….
Our 92nd year was full of accomplishments! As we look toward our 93rd year and prepare for an exciting new chapter of growth, expanded access, and bold vision, we invite you to make a Giving Tuesday contribution that helps fuel this important work. woodlibrarymuseum.org/about/….
For 92 years, the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology has been the central steward of anesthesiology’s history. As we begin Giving Tuesday, we invite you to learn more about our mission and the work you make possible. Visit our website woodlibrarymuseum.org/about/… to donate.
