Carbon Tetrachloride was first created from Hexachloroethane in 1820 and named "Protochloride of Carbon". Her relation to Chloroform was first reported in 1839 after the discovery that Chloroform could also spawn her. She worked as an anaesthetist/doctor around the 1860s under the name "Bichloride of Carbon" or "Chlorocarbon", after seeing her sister Chloroform killing too many patients during anaesthesia. C. Tetrachloride was successful and stronger than her sister, she told Chloroform to quit anaesthesia several times for the sake of the patient's safety. Her work did not gain enough attention and eventually, she left the field a short time later. Beginning in 1922 to the 1940s, C. Tetrachloride also had another short but more successful career in medicine which she rarely ever mentioned; she worked as a "doctor" to fight against parasites in humans and farm animals. She introduced Tetrachloroethylene to this field in 1925. Both were very successful on their own in fighting parasites.
