ASK THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST
Anesthesia
is the first medical specialty. God "caused a deep sleep to fall
upon Adam" for rib extraction (Genesis
However,
there is a widening gap between the anesthesia providers and the millions of
patients.
Patients
are afraid of the anesthesia more than they are afraid from the operations. Patients do
not know exactly what are the options provided for their operations from the
anesthesia point of view. Patients are signing the informed consent forms
without being well informed regarding
anesthesia. Patients do not know exactly how post-operative analgesia can make
their post-operative pain disappear.
There
is also a big difference in the state of anesthesia care among hospitals and
countries. For the same operations patients are getting different
kinds of anesthesia with different results. Many operations that could be done
by regional anesthesia are still done by general anesthesia. Almost 80% of the anesthesiologists
prefer regional anesthesia for their own operations. However,
only 10% of the patients are anesthetized by regional anesthesia by
anesthesiologists that would prefer another kind of anesthesia for themselves.
Otherwise, you cannot explain this discrepancy.
In
order to help patients by
responding to their questions on anesthesia issues we have emailed several
hundreds anesthesiologists from many countries. We asked them to volunteer to this ASK THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST organization
in order that patients from all over the world will be able to
email them DIRECTLY to get a response for their questions on anesthesia.
We
encourage other anesthesiologists to join this global ASK THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST list.
In
order to join this list you have to be an anesthesiologist. You need to email
your request to: a1b2c3d4@netvision.net.il
with the following sentence: I want to join the ASK THE
ANESTHESIOLOGIST.
Please
add also your address, place of work and Tel. No.
This
network of anesthesiologists may even broaden the scope of the project for
other areas like sending Anesthesia books and journals to needed countries
(according to the information received from the anesthesiologists of these
countries) and even sending needed anesthesia equipment from one country to
another. A participation of commercial companies in these efforts may take
place.
However,
any such effort will be directed and facilitated by a particular
anesthesiologist in each country.
I
encourage especially anesthesiologists from
Let's
create our UAN (United
Anesthesiologists Network...).
