    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!
