Translational Research and the Perioperative Phenotype University of Michigan

摘要

I DO not believe in fate, but some things just make you wonder. In 1875, a senior resident completing his training in surgery at the University of Michigan presented his required senior thesis entitled: "Anaesthetics and their Use." This 46-page neatly handwritten manuscript described the state-of-the-art of anesthesiology in impressive detail. What was surprising to me is that his name was Robert Trem-per and he left Michigan to practice surgery in Los Angeles, California. One-hundred and fifteen years later, I left Los Angeles to become the fourth department chair of anesthesiology at the University of Michigan.
