the anesthesiologist

Dr. FirstlyThereIsNoEvidenceOfComplicationsOrInteractionsBetweenTheseAgentsAndNeitherINorAnyPhysicianInTheFinestInstitutionsKnowsOfAnyStudiesShowingAdverseOrBeneficialEffectsFromTheAnesthesia just came by. Amazing. He's like a scripted audio encyclopedia track.

Interesting guy. Beautiful eyes & extremely kind man.

Andey suggested we call him EverythingWentFine, but he would never say that in such a straight forward way. He launched into a description of Lars' airway & talked about how there were no complications resulting from the structure of his airway. Both of us expected him to tell us about some difficulty caused by something other than the structure.

Before surgery he explained the exact sequence of procedures he would go through if Lars started to show signs of an allergic reaction to anesthesia.

He does all this in a manner and tone that are not condescending or superior, but very warm & conversational. If I just listen to the tone & not the words, I forget he's reciting his script.

Hopefully we get to go see Larsy soon.
