Anesthetist, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.
Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS ARE BEING made regarding the evaluation of anesthetic risks; the results of these investigations have undoubtedly reduced their numbers, and some day may eventually eliminate them altogether. The administration of anesthetics is said by some to be a dull and monotonous branch of the profession, but thanks to human limitations, thrills may occur, such as the cessation of respiration or failure of the heart, with startling suddenness, to shake both the surgeon and anesthetist.
