EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in medical history, as Dr. Roussell of Geneva administers a direct blood transfusion from a volunteer to a woman in desperate need. The patient had given birth to premature twins in December 1881 and her condition had been steadily deteriorating. As a last resort, the risky procedure was attempted on 7 February 1882. The engraving from Paris, dated 1882, shows the intensity and focus of the medical team as they work to save the woman's life. By 13 February, just six days after the transfusion took place, she was already showing signs of improvement and on her way to recovery. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible advancements made in medicine over the years, particularly in the field of blood transfusions. It also highlights the dedication and skill of Dr. Roussell and his team who were willing to take risks in order to save their patient's life. As we look back on this momentous event from more than a century ago, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of medical technology and knowledge. It is truly remarkable to see how one bold decision could make such a profound impact on someone's health and well-being.
