Hi Ron,
Had the Cochlear surgery Monday. Doing well, but boy is there a difference in anesthesia. I could never understand why so many of my patients made comments like “I’ve had a lot of surgeries, but you are the best anesthetist I ever had”, and “Oh, that was wonderful”, and so many comment on compassion.
Well, at the “big” hospital there was nothing but business, business, business. CRNA came in first (could hardly understand her, but no small talk just the usual questions. The anesthesiologist came in , same thing, Joe Friday, just the facts sir, just the facts. Zip to the O.R.
no talking to me just hook up the monitors, then lights out.
What an experience. I sure hope I can get back to work, these people need me!!
Hope to be able to attend a meeting before long.
Leroy
