Voice and touch: Florence Henderson on the skills of an ether specialist.
In this issue of the AANA Journal, "Imagining in Time" continues an occasional series that reprints historical articles by early and pioneer nurse anesthetists. The purpose is to keep the past alive and stimulate research interest. A brief commentary will accompany each article and whenever, possible, a bibliography will be included. Florence Henderson, CRNA (1874-1956), like her mentor Alice Magaw, CRNA (1860-1928), promoted excellence in anesthesia practices through professional society presentations and publications. Featured is Henderson's second article titled "Ether Anesthesia," which was published in a 1914 issue of The Saint Paul Medical Journal.
