Description
Summary:Dr Edward Sumner (1940) enjoyed a remarkably productive career as consultant pediatric anesthetist at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. His leadership in clinical care helped his department rise to eminence. He trained hundreds of registrars in pediatric anesthesia and educated thousands more through invited lectures and by co‐editing leading textbooks of neonatal and pediatric anesthesia. During his long tenure as Editor‐in‐Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia, he led the growth of the young journal to prominence. Based on an interview and a long‐standing professional and personal friendship of forty‐four years, this article reviews Ted Sumner's outstanding contributions to the specialty of pediatric anesthesia and to the development of a strong international community of pediatric anesthesiologists.
