Abstract
John Gillies was the founding head of the Department of Anaesthetics at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, which began in 1940. An astute educator, he was instrumental in establishing anesthesia as a medical specialty, on equal footing with surgery, from the start of the National Health Service in 1948. Gillies’ kudos attracted medical graduates from the UK, USA and Canada to work in his Department. The excellence of his teaching and mentoring may be judged from the fact that no less than seven of his protégés became professors of anesthesia/anesthesiology. This paper identifies these seven professorial protégés and reviews their careers. Reasons for the successful consequences of John Gillies’ tutelage are considered.
约翰·吉利斯是爱丁堡皇家医院麻醉科的创始主任,该部门成立于1940年。他是一位精明的教育家,从1948年英国国民健康服务体系(National Health Service)开始,他就把麻醉确立为一门医学专业,与外科手术平起平坐。吉利斯的荣誉吸引了来自英国、美国和加拿大的医学毕业生到他的部门工作。他的教学和指导工作的卓越之处,可以从他的不少于7名学生成为麻醉/麻醉学教授的事实中判断出来。本文对这7位教授的职业生涯进行了梳理。考虑了约翰·吉利斯的辅导成功的原因。
