John Gillies (1895–1976)

摘要

John Gillies had a profound influence on establishing anaesthesia in the UK as a specialty on equal standing with surgery and medicine. He was renowned for his clinical teaching and mentoring. Seven anaesthetists who trained under his tutelage at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (RIE) in the early post-Second World War years, went on to become professors of anaesthesia. Internationally, he was very much involved in the establishment of the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists, which held its first congress at Scheveningen, The Netherlands in 1955.
