Guz Robert Penmana usunięty przez chirurga z jego szczeki w ciągu 24 minut, 1828. Bez znieczulenia oczywiście. Codziennie jak wstajecie winniście padać na twarz i modlić się do cywilizacji Zachodu za znieczulenie i opiekę dentystyczną.
In 1828, Syme removed a 72oz fibro-osseous tumour from Penman. The procedure was carried out without anaesthesia in 24 minutes, while Penman sat upright in a chair. The Penman operation is a significant example of Syme’s extraordinary skill as a surgical pioneer. The case was well documented by Syme and also represented by two engravings by John Lizars. The tumour, a preoperative portrait, postoperative photo and two preoperative casts are held in the Museum collections.
