1912

Halsted proposes Samuel Crowe to head combined dept. of laryngology and otology (ENT) at Hopkins (Crowe, 148-49). “Tonsillectomy was our most frequent operation, and until the anesthetic was given by a professional anesthetist, it was our most difficult operation” (150). In 1915, Halsted cauterizes tuberculous nodules in Crowe’s pharynx (tuberculous pharyngitis) (Crowe, 153-54).
