Legends of Anesthesiology – J Alfred Lee Some Foundation On Which We Have Built 45 Minutes. 1985. Dr. Lee was awarded the Gaston Labat lecture from the ASRA. Dr. Philip Bromage introduced Dr. Lee and he gave a history of Anesthesia during this presentation.
After resident posts at Princess Mary Maternity Hospital and the Royal Victoria Hospital, both in Newcastle, in 1929 Dr Lee bought a share of a general practice in Southend-on-Sea. However, his interest in anaesthesia had started while he was a house surgeon, and in 1931 he was appointed GP anaesthetist to Southend Victoria Hospital, obtaining a similar appointment at the then new General Hospital the following year. During WW2 he became a full-time anaesthetist, working for the Emergency Medical Service at Runwell Emergency Hospital for 5 years, and in 1945 consultant at Southend General, an appointment he held until retirement in 1971. However, he continued to write, to teach and to give anaesthetics for many years after that, undertaking a number of Visiting Professorships overseas, these including Leiden, Nijmegen, Amsterdam and Baghdad.
