Obratnyi otschet. Zapiski anesteziologa - Genri Dzhei Pshibylo

"I am an anesthesiologist. I lull consciousness, take away memories, steal time, immobilize the body; I change my heart rate, blood pressure, my breathing rate. And then I bring it all back. I eliminate the pain during the surgery and warn her afterwards. I care for the sick and save lives, but I don't fly. As an anesthesiologist, I work almost always behind closed operating rooms, allowing surgeons to cut, gastroenterologists to examine, cardiologists to bypass. Patients trust me with their lives, but we meet with them only a couple of minutes before the operation, and when it ends, few of them can remember my name."
