COUNT BACKWARDS FROM 10!
October 16th is a very big day in the
history of medicine! Although, admittedly,
the occassion makes me want to just sleep.
This is "World Anesthesia Day!" It marks
the day, in 1846, when the use of anesthesia
was 1st successfully demonstrated. It happened
in the Operational Theater of what is now\
Harvard Medical School. It was a revelation to
the medical world allowing patients to have
the benefits of surgery without the pain involved
in an operation. It is a day celebrated world wide.
I should also point out it is know by two different
nmes. "World Anesthesia Day" or "National
Anesthesia Day." You can use "ether!" (Sorry
about that!) Hope you're well, in no need of
anesthesia, and that all your NEWS is good!
