Framed Prints From Science Photo Library
Framed Print of Hannah Greener and Chloroform
In 1848, a year after the Scottish surgeon Sir James Simpson had discovered that chloroform was a safer and more powerful anaesthetic than ether, Hannah Greener, a healthy 15 year-old girl from the north of England became the first recorded fatality directly attributed to chloroform. She required the removal of a second toenail, several months after she had undergone a successful similar operation with diethyl ether as the anaesthetic. Two minutes after the start of the operation she was dead. The exact cause has been variously suggested, from an anaesthetic overdose to secondary complications. There was widespread popular opposition to anaesthesia but this changed after Queen Victoria received chloroform successfully during the birth of Prince Leopold in 1853.
