    • During the 1920s and 1930s, the term physician-anesthetist was used to denote physicians who practiced anesthesia. Anesthesiology was not commonly used to denote the specialty until the creation of the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1938. In this article, I use physician-anesthetist and anesthesia rather than the current anesthesiologist and anesthesiology to ensure historical accuracy.
