Anaesthesia
Surgery is scary for most of us. Thank goodness anesthetics have been developed so that the patient is out, and hopefully unaware of their body being sliced and diced. This video from SciShow tells you a bit about how anesthetics work and has lots of additional useful information. As good and important as anesthetics are, it’s too bad that this video doesn’t cover a bit more about the dangers of these agents.
