"Medical doctors get $375,000 per patient for chemotherapy, radiation, x-ray, surgery, hospital stays, doctors and anesthesiologists, according statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce. To earn such a large amount of money so easily can be very tempting to any doctor. However, a patient cured is a goldmine lost. It's no surprise that the medical establishment tries to keep this scam alive for as long as possible. In 1990, the highly respected German epidemiologist, Dr." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Helpful: Call the hospital anesthesiology department, and ask one of the anesthesiologists which surgeon he would pick. (Anesthesiologists often are free between 3 pm and 5 pm.) They know all the surgeons and have no reason not to give a straight answer. Once you have some recommendations, choose a surgeon who does only a few types of procedures. Research has shown that surgeons who specialize—in nerve-sparing prostate surgery, for example—have better results and fewer complications than the national average. Caution: Don't shave your surgical site before surgery." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"That's why some doctors, patients and anesthesiologists actually are ordering up intravenous (IV) infusions of caffeine for hospital patients who are not allowed to consume caffeine because of upcoming surgery. A Mayo Clinic study in Arizona even confirmed that giving coffee addicts IV caffeine markedly reduced the incidence of postsurgical "withdrawal" headaches. • Hormones and Headaches hen PMS or menopause strikes, a woman's hormones may run wild, resulting in symptoms ranging from mood changes to sleep difficulties to hot flashes." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"An entire team of pain specialists, anesthesiologists, and nurses kept Josie comfortable with methadone, a powerful narcotic, and other painkillers. Half a dozen intensive care nurses rotated through the unit over the course of a day. Amal Murarka was Josie's 43 pediatric intensive care specialist. A warm, handsome thirty-two-year-old who was just at the beginning of his career, Murarka stopped in to check on Josie regularly and became one of her mother's favorites. The gravest dangers facing Josie, like any patient with extensive burns, were infection and dehydration." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Anesthesiologists have chemical exposures of their own. Some of the agents used to induce anesthesia in years past, like trichloroethylene, are now understood to break the back of genetic material in ways that can lead to cancer. Other anesthetic gases have been tied with damage to the nervous system. Benzene, that remarkable chemical that has fostered so much of the modern revolution in chemistry, can slip into the bloodstream and into the bone marrow. Since 1928, scientists have understood that benzene can cause AML in those who work with it regularly." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"We have a sophisticated team of triage nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons that are busy repairing the damage caused by the free radicals our body is producing. There is both a direct repair system and an indirect repair system within each of our bodies. We really don't know much about the direct repair system; however, it is well documented that it does exist. Most of our knowledge centers instead on the indirect repair system." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)

"Three small sections of my right lung were removed after the anesthesiologists had collapsed part of it in order to help the surgeons find the nodules. Thorough evaluation by the pathologists made a definitive diagnosis of Histoplasmosis (a common, often asymptomatic, fungal infection)." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.)

"And we're increasingly drawing the interest of doctors, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals besides nurses." Natural, Logical, Powerful The practice of medicine has come a long way. There are practitioners around the globe working tirelessly to deliver holistic health care that respects patients and their needs. The flip from treating symptoms to whole health is clearly happening. Yet today, many of these innovative treatments and therapies, though becoming ever more common, are expensive and remain uncovered by health insurance. But even that is slowly changing." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"More medical doctors, including neurologists, anesthesiologists, and specialists in physical medicine, are becoming familiar with acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and other CAM therapies. Check Credentials. A practitioner who is licensed and credentialed may provide better care than one who is not. About forty-seven states have established training standards for acupuncture certification. Although proper credentials do not ensure competency, they do indicate that the practitioner has met certain standards to treat patients through the use of acupuncture." - Jacob Teitelbaum, Pain Free 1-2-3: A Proven Program for Eliminating Chronic Pain Now (Get the book.)

"The one you meet in a pre-surgical visit is likely to be different from the one who is in the operating room the day of your surgery, especially in a large hospital with many anesthesiologists on staff. In any good hospital, all anesthesiologists should be board-certified. When medical personnel put you to sleep, you want them to have had their skills judged using the highest standards of the profession. You can rely on board certification as one good mechanism to identify competence." - Eric Rose MD, Second Opinion: The Columbia-Presbyterian Guide to Surgery (Get the book.)

"Men who work as printers, painters, builders, beauticians, decorators and anesthesiologists are at risk because of their occupational exposure to organic solvents such as glycol ethers, toluene, xylene, and benzene. A decrease in sperm counts has been correlated with the degree of solvent exposure and similar findings have been noted in animals.47,129 • A small study has shown that men's aftershave, shampoos, cologne and hair products cause breakdown products of ph-thalates (DBP) to be found in their urine and semen."" - Doris J. Rapp, M.D., Our Toxic World: A Wake Up Call (Get the book.)

"Fentanyl is commonly used by anesthesiologists and surgeons for pain control. Fentanyl is in the same drug class as morphine and Demerol. Valium is very commonly used in numerous settings to decrease anxiety, for muscle relaxation, and for sedation. Propofol is a newer anesthetic agent, favored by many anesthesiologists for a variety of reasons; it is used for induction and maintenance during anesthesia. Clonidine is not commonly used, but it can be used orally for sleep or sedation in the postoperative period." - The Life Extension Editorial Staff, Disease Prevention and Treatment (Get the book.)

"Pediatric surgeons operate on children, from premature infants and newborns to teenagers. • anesthesiologists, although not surgeons, are medical doctors with four or more years of postgraduate training and are a vital part of any surgical team. They administer drugs to render the patient unconscious or numb at the surgical site, monitor breathing and pain response, and interact with the surgeon throughout the procedure. anesthesiologists also may deal with pain control after surgery." - Sheldon P. Blau, M.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.R. and Elaine Fantle Shimberg, How to Get Out of the Hospital Alive: A Guide to Patient Power (Get the book.) "The latter, according to the American Society of anesthesiologists, " ... is the most common form of electrical stimulation. It is not painful and does not require needles.

"Elsewhere within the system, anesthesiologists refused to tend to KPC patients, so surgeries were delayed. Infectious-disease specialists were unavailable for AIDS patients. And although psychiatrists were supposed to meet patients with schizophrenia, depression, hallucinations, and other psychoses at least once before prescribing psychotropic drugs, one staff member reported that only two of her forty KPC patients on such medicines ever saw a psychiatrist." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.)

"These specialists are also trained in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases (for example, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus) and other problems with the immune system. 3 Anesthesiologists: Provide pain relief and restore a stable condition following surgery or a medical or obstetric procedure. anesthesiologists evaluate the risk of patients about to undergo surgery; diagnose and treat chronic cancer and other pain; diagnose and treat patients who have critical illnesses; and supervise postanesthesia recovery." - Deborah R. Mitchell, The Home Healing Almanac: Solutions That Will Help You Make the Best Choices About Your Health and Safety (Get the book.)

"If the patients used the pain-reduction techniques described by the anesthesiologists, they might have had less pain for purely physical reasons and as a result needed less medication. The patients simply got more good advice and followed it. Assuming there was at least some placebo component to explain the strikingly positive findings, we can see that the anesthesiologists combined all three elements of the meaning model. They talked about postoperative pain, which surgeons back in the 1960s often did not. It was commonplace to dismiss the pain as "you'll feel a little sore." - Howard Brody, Daralyn Brody, The Placebo Response: How You Can Release the Body's Inner Pharmacy for Better Health (Get the book.)

"The consensus at this year's World Congress of anesthesiologists was that the lack of pain control is "one of the biggest medical failures of the 20th century." One of the participants, Dr. Ellen Thompson of the University of Ottawa, added, "pain is one of the last frontiers in medicine"—sadly, primardy because of the underlying outdated attitudes to pain and murky medical politics.
