An Inventive Doctor and His Brave Patient
In the 1920s, Dr. Evan O’Neill Kane had an excellent idea, but he had trouble finding a way to test it. 
His idea was to use local anesthesia to perform surgeries. Anesthesia includes any treatment to make a 
patient less sensitive to pain. At the time, only general anesthesia was commonly used, which required the 
patient to be fully unconscious during any surgery. Dr. Kane was convinced that many surgeries could be 
easily performed by numbing only the part of the body that was being operated on. The patient would be 
awake but would feel no pain. Dr. Kane was convinced that the treatment would be effective and much 
safer than general anesthesia.
Not too surprisingly, Dr. Kane had trouble finding a patient who was willing to give local anesthesia 
a try. Finally, on February 15, 1921, Dr. Kane found an enthusiastic subject in need of an appendectomy. 
Dr. Kane had already performed almost 4,000 of these operations, so he felt well prepared for the task.
The patient was wheeled into the surgery room and given local anesthesia. Once the patient’s 
midsection was completely numb, Dr. Kane opened the abdomen, removed the appendix, and then his 
assistants closed the opening. Throughout the operation, the patient said that he felt only mild discomfort.
Who was the patient who was willing to take such a courageous risk to further medical knowledge? 
It was Dr. Evan O’Neill Kane! He performed the appendectomy on himself while sitting upright on an 
operating table. A mirror positioned above his abdomen allowed him to view his own internal organs. While 
three back-up surgeons were on hand, Dr. Kane himself did most of the surgery, chatting calmly and even 
laughing. His surprising bravery helped pioneer an anesthetic treatment that is commonly used around the 
world today.
