Bust of Sir James Young Simpson, a renowned Edinburgh physician, was created by Patric Park around 1850 in plaster form. He rose to fame for his groundbreaking discovery of chloroform's anesthetic properties and his tireless advocacy for the use of anesthesia in childbirth. But what many people forget is that he wasn't just a pioneer in obstetric anesthesia; he also spearheaded numerous other innovations in the field of obstetrics between 1840 and 1870, cementing his status as one of Britain's most outstanding obstetricians during this period.
