Physician Focus, November 2009: All About Anesthesiology
November’s edition of Physician Focus examines the skills and responsibilities of the anesthesiologist and the specialty’s impact and influence on patient care. Skill in the operating room is but one aspect of anesthesiologists’ activities; they also play key roles in patient care, pain management, and critical care medicine. And the specialty has been a leader in local and national efforts in the all-important area of patient safety.
