Gas passers are little gods, in their own minds. They take a patient to death and bring them back ... in their minds.
I do not take a patient anywhere near to death. For your education, an anesthesiologist “renders a patient insensible and free from pain” during a surgical procedure. I am a Christian schooled in science and practice my art. Please understand the difference between spewing vitriol and inaccurate statements. If you wish to cast accusations as to my mindset, I welcome you to have surgery without one of my colleagues in attendance. Might I suggest you familiarize yourself with the statements of the American Board of Anesthesiologists and American Society of Anesthesiologists. In none of their statements is that we take a patient near death. However, when seconds count, physician anesthesiologists save lives.
