Happy Women's History Month! Today we're featuring Dr. Huberta Livingstone who, in 1928, began her medical career in anesthesiology at the University of Chicago. She served as Director of the Department of Anesthesiology in 1929 until her resignation in 1952. Dr. Livingstone was incredibly active in professional organizations, serving as President of the Chicago Society of Anesthesiologists (1936), the Mid-Western Association of Anesthetists (1937), and the Illinois Society of Anesthesiologists (1958-1959). She was also a life member and past Assistant Treasurer for the American Society of Anesthesiologists. #anesthesiologist #WomensHistoryMonth #history (fb)
