	Amazon.ca: Pueblo Surrender, the: Books: Robert Liston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Liston argues that the 1968 seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo was part of a National Security Agency-run operation, in which the ship and its unsuspecting crew were offered as bait.
		Liston, a novelist and jounalist, doesn't claim to have proven his case, but the documentation and material obtained in interviews render his theory shockingly plausible.
		It was 20 years ago, journalist Liston argues, that the National Security Agency set up the spy ship USS Pueblo as a juicy, poisoned plum to be grabbed by the North Koreans--a ploy by the United States to aid in the breaking of a Soviet code system.

		Liston, however, persevered, while his growing reputation coming to his aid, at length gave his representations such weight, that, when his connection with the Infirmary terminated, a full acknowledgement of the important services he had rendered was entered upon its records.
		Liston became a graduate of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and London, and commenced practice in the former city, where his reputation as a surgical operator grew yearly, until he attained that pre-eminence which left him without a rival.

	Hypnosis in Surgery
		Robert Liston, Britain’s most famous and accomplished surgeon, even scolded a patient for lacking "discipline" during surgery, and threatened to terminate the procedure unfinished.
		Robert Sears and Frank Pattie performed pioneering studies of hypnotic analgesia and tactile anesthesia in the 1930s, but there were a few other experimental studies, and even fewer performed in clinical settings (Weitzenhoffer, 1953).
		In the meantime, advances in antiseptic practice and asepsis, regional and local anesthesia, the synthesis of nontoxic and nonaddictive substitutes for cocaine and morphine, and the introduction of muscle relaxation and artificial respiration by means of a tracheal tube, all made chemical anesthesia and analgesia increasingly "inevitable, complete, and safe".
