I'm thinking of anesthesiology as a field I want to go into but some doctors were saying that some day anesthesiology may not even be a field anymore, which I was confused about but they were saying that some hospitals may cut down on how many anesthesiologists they need and that it may just be a skill added to surgery and I was wondering what your thoughts were on that?

I don’t know hardly anything about anesthesiology. But I can’t see it being combined with a surgery curriculum. Surgery is becoming more and more specialized, not more broad. And there’s a LOT of stuff the anesthesiologist has to pay attention to that the surgeon can’t possibly manage at the same time as doing surgery.

Now a lot of hospitals are using more CRNAs (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) in the place of physician anesthesiologists. But it’s still a separate person dedicated to anesthesia. Check into the CRNA career path and see if that might be something you’re interested in as well.

The role of the “Second” in European 17th Century rapier or pistol dueling was actually to discourage and stop the fight.

So there were rules as to who could and couldn’t be a second in a duel. No “heathens” could be a Second, as they would be too eager to see Christian blood spilled, and no Irishman could be, either, as they “love fighting too much.”

Some people have inspired whole countries to great deeds because of the power of their vision. And so could he. Not because he dreams about marching hordes, or world domination, or an empire of a thousand years. Just because he thinks that everyone’s really decent underneath and would get along just fine if only they made the effort, and he believes that so strongly it burns like a flame which is bigger than he is. He’s got a dream and we’re all part of it, so that it shapes the world around him. And the weird thing is that no one wants to disappoint him. It’d be like kicking the biggest puppy in the universe.

Beekeepers are careful to tell their bees everything important that concerns the family and household–births, marriages, deaths, a new set of curtains, and suchlike. But that’s not superstition, just the practical observation that if you don’t tell them, they will fly indoors to find out for themselves.
