Dr. Philip Raikes Bromage (1920-2013) was known world wide as a legend in anesthesia, most particularly regional anesthesia. Born in London, England, he completed his basic education and medical training in England, graduating from St. Thomas’ Hospital in 1943. Following house officer rotations in surgery, he decided to switch to anesthesia. After completing his anesthesia training at St. Thomas’, he joined an anesthesia practice in West Sussex. He published his first book, Spinal Epidural Analgesia (E&S Livingstone), in 1954. A year later, he was invited to visit several North American medical schools, including McGill University.
