American Heritage expanded
Ether Day: The Strange Tale of America's Greatest Medical Discovery and the Haunted Men Who Made It von 2001 erzählt die Entwicklung der Jahrmarktattraktion Lachgas zum Anästhetikum und die tragische Geschichte dreier mit ihrer Entdeckung verbundenen Personen, Horace Wells (1815–1848), William Thomas Green Morton (1819–1868) und Charles Thomas Jackson (1805–1880).
In Ether Day, Julie Fenster chronicles the transformation of "laughing gas" and ether from parlor entertainment devices to medical marvels -- what she calls "America's greatest medical discovery."
The anesthetic properties of ether were demonstrated for the first time in an operation at Massachusetts General Hospital on October 16, 1846 -- what Fenster calls "Ether Day." What has followed in the succeeding century and a half could certainly be termed a medical miracle, as anesthesia and surgical techniques evolve together. However, the financial value and professional glory that ether represented didn't make for a happily-ever-after tale. That is the story that unfolds in Ether Day.
Three men -- Wells, Boston dentist William T.G. Morton and Boston physician Charles Jackson -- were to claim credit for the discovery of anesthesia. Their animosity became so bitter that it ended up destroying them: Wells committed suicide, Morton attempted suicide and died shortly thereafter and Jackson ended his life in a mental institution.
"The tragedy," Fenster notes, "lies . . . in how pain . . . retaliated against the three men who'd dared to conquer it."
She is also the author of the award-winning Ether Day and Parish Priest, with coauthor Douglas Brinkley. Fenster lives in upstate New York.
Ether Day: The Strange Tale of America's Greatest Medical Discovery and the Haunted Men Who Made It
by Julie M. Fenster '79 (HarperCollins 2001)
In Ether Day, Julie Fenster chronicles the transformation of "laughing gas" and ether from parlor entertainment devices to medical marvels -- what she calls "America's greatest medical discovery."
She appeared in a TV commercial for Cheapbooks, which aired in early 2008. She is shown at a book signing for her work "Race of the Century."
In January 2006, she and co-author Douglas Brinkley released Parish Priest, a biography of Father Michael J. McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus.[1]
In 2009, she published a biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt's early political advisor Louis Howe, titled FDR's Shadow: Louis Howe, the Force that Shaped Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.
She is the co-author of Debbie Wasserman Schultz book For the Next Generation: A Wake-Up Call to Solving Our Nation's Problems.[2]
I am from Upstate New York and graduated from Colgate University. By and by, articles that I wrote for American Heritage expanded into books, many of which are still sold on Amazon. In Presidential history, the first challenge is finding something new along a well-trodden path. My most recent title, Jefferson's America: The President, the Purchase, and the Explorers Who Transformed a Nation (Crown Publishers) gave me the rare opportunity to present a largely forgotten aspect of Thomas Jefferson and his administration. This summer (2016), I started work on my next book. I live on a farm in Central New York with the members of my family, some of whom are canine, feline or equine. People who visit say it seems to be 1804, or maybe 1810, on my farm. I can't deny that I like it just that way.
