Although Peter Gay's 1988 book does correctly identify Dr Ignaz Rosannes, it seems that it may be affirmatively misleading with regard to the incident(s). Robert Wilcocks in his 1994 book Maelzel's chess player: Sigmund Freud and the rhetoric of deceit takes Peter Gay to task, as follows at Chapter 3, Note 45, page 110:
Peter Gay's despicable minimization of these happenings, which conflates three separate postoperative operations in different locations (the first two in the Eckstein apartment,//. the third in the Sanatorium Loew — all this is clearly detailed in Freud's letter to Fliess of Friday March 8, 1895) on three different days into one incident on one day and within one paragraph and with no mention of the further repeated interventions (Gay 1988, p.84), is, alas, typical of his propensity to lie as a historian when he is dealing with Freud. Gersuny, incidentally, does not exist in his [Gay's] scenario. The advice to the reader: if you want to know the facts about Freud's life and activities do not read Gay (or Jones); if you want to savor at first hand the effect Freud has had on otherwise reputable researchers, do read Gay!
