Escape from the Ether Dome

I admit to being a sucker for history and tradition. Probably one of the reasons I decided to do my renal fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the first place despite the fact that I get paid peanuts and Boston is a damned expensive city--the hospital has a long and illustrious history of important medical discoveries.

To illustrate this, there's a small museum, open to the public, in the original MGH building which is called the "Ether Dome." It was the site of the first public demonstration of ether as a successful anesthetic, in 1846. Anyways, I found a few spare moments in my day and took a stroll through the Ether Dome for the first time. A few pictures.

Painting commemorating the first use of ether. What a wonderfully sterile operating room...
Where the surgeons can enjoy the show.

The Ether Dome is also home to two Egyptian mummies. I'm off for the weekend!
