At the end of the last bullet point under "legacy and honours", there's a "citation needed" regarding the use of chloroform by John Snow in 1853. Here is a reference mentioning it : Akerman N, Dresner M. The management of breakthrough pain during labour. CNS Drugs. 2009 Aug;23(8):669-79. doi: 10.2165/00023210-200923080-00004. PMID: 19594196.

Not done: I believe the citation needed tag is referencing the TV episode itself as needing a reference; the 1853 use of chloroform is mentioned other places in the article, like here. Staraction (talk | contribs) 22:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
