How Does Anesthesia Work

This is a quick and surprisingly informative primer on how anesthesia works. Created by Dr. Steven Zheng, this cute animated video is a must see for any patient, and even medical students going through an anesthesiology rotation.

My favorite part is the illustration of an anesthesiologist mixing up drugs from a flask into a beaker like we are conducting chemistry experiments in the operating rooms every day. I only wish I was that smart. Some days I can barely get my electronic medical record to record properly.
