Anesthesia by Video

[David Baxter PhD]

Anesthesiologists put patient to sleep via video

Anesthesiologists working in Montreal achieved what they say is a world-first accomplishment when they recently used videoconferencing to put to sleep a patient undergoing surgery in Italy.

They didn't need to go all the way to Italy. They could just have shown him a video of a parliamentary committee or any political speech in the House of Commons.

Although perhaps they feared that would put the patient under so deep that he'd never come out of it.
