Description

Join Gibson House Museum curator Hailey Robbins for a lecture on Dr. Freeman Allen, Massachusetts General Hospital’s first staff anesthetist and husband of Mary Ethel Gibson. A prominent Boston doctor, Freeman struggled behind closed doors with addiction to morphine and spent the last years of his life in and out of mental health facilities. All the while, Ethel served as his confidant, support system, and anchor.
