Adventures in Anaesthesia

About this ebook
“As the anaesthetist sedated the patient, secured
the airway and sited the drip I had struggled to
insert, the seizure stopped and the chaos turned to
calm. As order was restored I breathed a sigh of
relief. And gratitude. And something else: I too,
wanted to be like that”.
Inspired to become an anaesthetist, Dr May
embarks on a training programme to fulfil her
dream. At first it's hard: the drugs are new, the
equipment unfamiliar and no-one told her the exam
was mostly physics. She has to learn fast to gain
the skills required to treat the patients and deal with
the surgeons as she learns that putting patients to
sleep is the easy part, waking them up is much
more difficult.
Heartfelt, honest, and at times hilarious, Dr May
throws light on what happens after you go to sleep

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an easy to read book and written with very witty banter. I wanted to step into the shoes of an anesthetist and this book whisked you away into the shoes of one. At least, this book has forewarned me of the nightmares that occur inside the operation rooms. Great book to read, especially those interested in the field of anaesthesia.
