Claudia Potter (1881–1970) was the first female anesthesiologist in the United States, as well as the first physician in Texas to use gas anesthesia. She graduated from the University of Texas Medical Branch in 1904. She then did postgraduate work at the Mayo Clinic, served an internship at John Sealy Hospital in Galveston, and entered general practice with another female doctor in San Antonio. In 1906, she was hired by the Temple Sanitarium (later Scott and White Memorial Hospital) as the head of the Department of Anesthesiology, although after hearing of her hiring Dr. Raleigh White wrote to his partner Dr. A.C. Scott, "I will be home soon, for I know you have lost your mind if you have employed a woman doctor."
