In 1848 Dr. Sloane with the assistance of Drs. McCartney and Liddell performed an operation on Mr Ryan. a bullock driver in the employ of Mr Pringle. Ryan had met with an accident several months previously and his thigh had been broken and unsuccessfully set by a resident Doctor. He was sent to Maitland Hospital in May 1848 where several attempts were made by the medical officers to set the leg without avail and it was decided that to amputate the leg was the only option. As the operation would have to be performed rather high up on the thigh it was considered desirable to do so with the aid of chloroform and a small quantity was obtained from Sydney. On the morning of the operation, Ryan was given the chloroform however its effect was to 'make him excited and nervous as if under the influence of strong drink and he remained acutely sensible to the prick of a pin and the operation was postponed. A few days later however it was decided to proceed with the operation without the aid of chloroform. The operation was performed rapidly and skillfully however Ryan was weakened after his long illness and the shock proved too great for him. He never recovered from the state of exhaustion produced by the operation and died a few days later.
