Everybody wonders what anesthetists do while the patient is sleeping
Everybody wonders what we do for three hours while that machine goes beeping
Everybody recognize we drink coffee and we gossip and that we are, generally, so buzzing
Everybody recognize we do crosswords and sodoku and we chat some full with the nurses

We just seat and list to the…

Once upon a time I did pride my job
