Surgery transformed

The fourth video in our series to promote the BMJ±s online archive now being fully searchable back to 1840 follows on from Sir James Young Simpson, the man who discovered the anaesthetic properties of chloroform, to Joseph Lister, the father of antiseptic surgery.

Lister published in the BMJ for over 40 years, and all of his articles can be accessed online in the BMJ archive.
