biographical information.
The most prestigious award that the WLM bestows is the
Laureate of the History of Anesthesia, founded by Dr.
Nicholas M. Greene and awarded every four years to an
outstanding scholar and contributor in the field.
The first Laureate of the History of Anesthesia, in
1996, was Dr. Gwenifer Wilson of Sydney, Australia.
In 2000, the WLM Laureate Committee faced a tie so irreconcilable
as to necessitate naming both of two equally meritorious
candidates as Laureates: Dr. Thomas B. Boulton of Great
Britain and Dr. Norman A. Bergman of the United States.
Dr. Donald Caton of the United States was named the
2004 Laureate of the History of Anesthesia.
Dr. David J. Wilkinson
of the United Kingdom was recently named the 2008 Laureate
of the History of Anesthesia.
