John Collins Warren, the eldest son of John and Abigail (Collins) Warren, was born in Boston.
His early education was supervised by his father. Later he went to the Public Latin School, and in 1797 was graduated at Harvard College, valedictorian of his class and president of the Hasty Pudding Club, of which he had been one of the founders. He was awarded the honorary degree of M. D. by Harvard in 1819.
After a year spent with a private tutor in French, he entered his father's office as an apprentice in medicine. In June 1799, however, he went abroad and in London, Edinburgh, and Paris studied under the best teachers of the day, particularly Astley Cooper of Guy's Hospital, London, and Dubois in Paris. Returning to Boston in December 1802, he at once entered into partnership with his father. He assisted in the anatomical dissections in preparation for his father's lectures at the Harvard Medical School, gave popular lectures to select groups on anatomy and physiology, organized a private medical society, was one of the original members of the Anthology Club, and in 1808, with James Jackson, prepared a Pharmacopeia for the Massachusetts Medical Society. In 1809 he became adjunct professor of anatomy and surgery at the Harvard Medical School, and in 1815, on the death of his father, he became full professor, a position which he held with great distinction until 1847, when he was made professor emeritus. From 1816 to 1819 he served as dean. With his close associate, Jackson, he practically revolutionized medical education and practice in Boston. The Harvard Medical School was moved from Cambridge to Boston in 1815, funds were raised for the Massachusetts General Hospital and it was opened in 1821 with Warren as surgeon and Jackson as physician, and the New-England Journal of Medicine and Surgery was established in 1812. In all three of these important enterprises Warren and Jackson were the prime movers. Warren was an able surgeon and by no means a timid operator in spite of the painstaking care with which he handled the knife. Before the days of anesthesia he did amputations, removed cataracts, and was the first surgeon in the United States to operate for strangulated hernia. In 1837, when nearly sixty years of age, he published his most important book, Surgical Observations on Tumours with Cases and Operations, with excellent illustrations, a landmark in the history of this subject. A previous publication, A Comparative View of the Sensorial and Nervous Systems in Men and Animals (1822), was a fair account of comparative anatomy, but Warren failed to grasp the importance of the work of the Scotch anatomist Sir Charles Bell. In addition to strictly surgical papers, he wrote numerous memoirs and essays. He is remembered especially for his connection with the first public demonstration of ether anesthesia. On October 16, 1846, at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Warren, then in his seventieth year, operated on a patient under ether anesthesia given by W. T. G. Morton. To Warren, the outstanding surgeon of his day, belongs the credit for allowing his name and position to be used as a sponsor for this courageous and revolutionary experiment. Warren's account of the operation first appeared in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal for December 9, 1846, and subsequently in Etherization; with Surgical Remarks (1848). Warren had many interests and became a leading figure in New England life. He was active from 1827 to his death in temperance reform, serving for that period as president of the Massachusetts Temperance Society. At the age of seventy-five he gave $10, 000 to the temperance cause and made provision in his will for another gift. He was prominently connected with the building of Bunker Hill Monument. At his country estate in Brookline he carried on experiments in farming, and was an active member of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society. He promoted physical education, giving addresses and building a city gymnasium, and published Physical Education and the Preservation of Health (1845), and The Preservation of Health (1854). Both books went through many editions. Towards the close of his life, he became interested in geology and paleontology, serving as president of the Boston Society of Natural History. The skeleton of a mastodon was procured, set up in a private museum, and described by Warren in a superb volume, The Mastodon Giganteus of North America (1852, 1855). His many specimens were left to the Harvard Medical School and form the Warren Museum.
In 1846 he gave permission to William T. G. Morton to provide ether anesthesia while Warren performed a minor surgical procedure. News of this first public demonstration of surgical anesthesia quickly circulated around the world. He was a founder of the New England Journal of Medicine and was the third president of the American Medical Association. He was the first Dean of Harvard Medical School and a founding member of the Massachusetts General Hospital.
