The New England Journal of Medicine’s most important article
"The New England Journal of Medicine is the oldest continuously publishing medical journal in the world, and easily among the most influential. It published much of the research that guides our medical decision-making today, including the finding that aspirin may help prevent heart attacks and how to best treat strokes.
.................
NEJM asked its readers, largely doctors, to go back through 200 years of archives and decide what counts as its most important article.
Even though there were lots of options to choose from, the votes settled on a solid favorite: the 1846 classic, “Insensibility During Surgical Operations Produced by Inhalations.”
Translation: The invention of ether anesthesia."
