莫顿的墓碑
杰克逊的墓碑
唯独克劳福德·朗的墓碑上没有提到乙醚麻醉,只是:“我的职业是上帝赋予的职责 [17]。”
历史在发展,文明在前进,对新型麻醉剂的探索和改进从未停止过。2018年9月11日,拉斯克临床医学奖授予苏格兰化学家约翰·格伦(John B Glen)[18],表彰他在5,000多种化合物中筛出异丙酚(Propofol),异丙酚除麻醉中见效和恢复快外,还具有成本低,无任何副作用的特点,是目前使用的最佳麻醉剂。
只要新生事物不断出现,发明权和专利之争也必然会存在。随着文明的发展,专利保护机制的逐步完善,类似乙醚麻醉发明人的悲剧将难以再现。但只要名利追逐在,科学发展的道路上,就一定会有不择手段,不顾伦理道德的不端行为,可怕的是那些不仅仅是自己落下一个悲惨下场,还给社会和人类造成危害和悲剧的狂人。时刻警惕着!
感谢美国波士顿麻醉医师张德震博士审阅,修正。
