Oliver Wendell Holmes
Sr
August 29, 1809 – October 7, 1894

6. The letter of “Anaesthesia”
• Holmes wrote: "Everybody wants to have a
hand in a great discovery. All I will do is to
give a hint or two as to names—or the name
—to be applied to the state produced and the
agent. The state should, I think, be called
'Anaesthesia.' This signifies insensibility—
more particularly ... to objects of touch."

• I am a student /intern-I don’t need to
learn Anaesthesia
