  • Title: Horace Wells as a classic tragic hero.
    Author: Tanchyk AP.
    Journal: J Anesth Hist; 2021 Jun; 7(2):27-31. PubMed ID: 34175110.
    Abstract:
    Horace Wells is discussed in a literary manner as a classic tragic hero. Wells' apparent failed end is not the ultimate truth concerning him. His story helps us see and confront life. Many of the scientific, personal, and social issues he grappled with are relevant to us today such as human experimentation and drug addiction. His idealism and romantic pursuit are to be admired. We benefit today from the achievements of his daring and fateful quest.
