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.
