Mr. Ansary should be commended for his inclusion of antibiotics, AKA
penicillin, as the greatest, IMHO, if not 1 of the greatest, inventions.
Before its widespread use, most people died of septicemia, aka
infection, during wars, rather than from bullets. You, the reader,
probably owe your life to this drug.

Without agriculture there wouldn't be a civilization.

Was Morton's invention of surgical anethesia on the original list?

http://www.answers.com/topic/william-t-g-morton

By the way, the original operating theatre known now as the "Ether
Dome" still exists at the Massachusetts General Hospitial, and a large
monument memorializing the discovery stands in the Boston Public
Gardens. When you consider that prior to anesthesia almost half of the
surgical patients died of shock, anethesia is at least as important a
discovery as antibiotics, if not more so.

The Ether Dome was built in the days before anethesia, designed to
contain the screams of the surgical patients of the day, and is the
place where general anethesia was first used. It is a very eerie place
to visit to this day, as I did once when I was confined at MGH
recovering from leg reconstruction surgery after an accident.
