To heaven or hell? You must choose heaven! Stay in heaven or return to earth? You must still be attached to earth! Will we go back to heaven, hell and earth in this life? You say no, well, I admit that you are a strong materialist, but wait, let’s change the perspective: when a person undergoes surgery, can we temporarily separate the body from the “soul” and see what their journey is like? Perhaps you have seen some violent or horror movies and felt the psychological impact of the trauma to the human body. Similarly, when the human body is undergoing surgery, it is in “hell”. In contrast to a brutal one-two punch, surgery is a continuous trauma of intense stimulation. If the body can mobilize its potential to maintain life under short term stimulation, it is impossible to mobilize its potential to survive for a long time during surgery, and eventually it will die of exhaustion. In this case, you need an anesthesiologist to temporarily take your “soul” to “heaven” and temporarily leave your body in “hell”, which will not make you feel any pain, yes. What pain is there in “heaven”? At the end of the operation, you will wake up, and it can be understood that the anesthesiologist will bring your “soul” back from “heaven” and let the “soul” and body become one again, and the complete you will return to You are back to the good life. As Morton, the originator of ether anesthesia, wrote in his epitaph: Before him, surgery was a form of torture, after him, science triumphed over pain. There are always people who think that an anesthesiologist is just a shot of anesthetic! No! On the one hand, even the use of anesthesia is not the kind of outpatient or ward medication you think it is, what kind of medication to use, how to combine medication, what kind of medication to give, etc., are very delicate work, because the anesthesiologist needs to give good medication during the operation, give the right medication, so that you can return safely after the operation. This is a very professional issue, so I won’t say too much about it. On the other hand, the anesthesiologist also has to closely observe all the important vital indicators of your body according to your specific health condition and surgery, and must always be closely observed, and deal with any problems in time, the best protection is to prevent the slightest. It is important to understand that a body suffering in “hell”, even with the protection of anesthesia, often collapses instantly due to unpredictable factors, so how can we not be careful to shelter it? Therefore, the duty of the anesthesiologist is not only to relieve your pain during surgery, but also to protect your vital functions from excessive harmful effects of surgery. So far, it can be said that medicine is better developed, but by no means perfect, and there are still too many unknown questions that we need to keep seeking answers to, and the same is true for anesthesia. Let’s talk about the simplest one, what is general anesthesia? What is the mechanism? No one can answer, but can we stop doing this work because of this? You know, the development of anesthesia is a landmark event in the development of the entire surgical system, without the development of anesthesia, modern surgery simply can not develop to the current state, then how to talk about life for health services? So yeah, without knowing the basic principles, anesthesia is still evolving and improving, all for the sake of your life and health. However, the imperfection of medicine and the discipline of anesthesia always leads to some bad or terrible endings, a problem that is understandable among doctors, but obviously, you may have difficulty understanding. You must think that a shot of anesthesia must be able to numb down and is absolutely safe, wrong! Look at what I said earlier and I believe you should be able to understand that anesthesia work may (with a low probability) bring you some unsatisfactory end. Of course, the good and the bad, in a few cases, because of the anesthesiologist’s theoretical and technical shortcomings, may incur some unnecessary disputes, but please always remember: any doctor, from the heart, is trying to get a sense of accomplishment by doing his job well. When you wake up from anesthesia and come back to earth to welcome the smiles of your loved ones, you will surely feel the same: the anesthesiologist is the protector of your safe “reincarnation”!
