Abstract:

Fred Spielman, professor of anesthesiology at UNC Hospitals, has studied the progress of pain control in medicine and its depiction in art. Throughout history, art was used to document medical procedures and to convey how society viewed anesthetics. For Spielman, art has helped him become more emotional and compassionate with his patients.
