Relief of pain & suffering is central to the practice of anaesthesia. The word anaesthesia comes from two Greek words: "an" meaning "without" and "aesthesis" meaning "sensation". Dr Dilip Kapur is an anaesthetist, pain medicine specialist & @anzca-fpm.bsky.social dean. #insafehands bit.ly/42lfpB8

During my c-sections the anaesthetists talked to me throughout, informing me of progress, checking I was ok, asking about dizziness and nausea, providing ice cubes on sticks (I don’t know why!). They were responsible. Of all the people in that room I can only recall the anaesthetists’ voice & face.

Pete used to say jokingly-don’t you just turn on the gas and go for coffee?

Why no dear, not at all

Your anaesthetist is watching and listening intently the entire time, taking care of you before, during and after the procedure

I loved it, such a privilege
