Medicine changed forever on October 16, 1846, when ether was publicly shown to prevent pain during surgery. Today, #anesthesiologists keep patients safe every day with modern anesthesia care. Happy #EtherDay, aka #WorldAnaesthesiaDay!

Not forgetting Cocaine used by Carl Koller for eyes and then by Bier for spinal anaesthesia.

One of the most challenging parts of being a physician on call during the holidays is finding the balance between practicing evidence-based medicine and helping patients achieve what matters most to them—especially when those goals involve spending cherished moments with their loved ones. For some patients, this may be their last holiday with family, and we do everything we can to honor their wishes while ensuring they receive the best care possible. Whether it’s attending a special event, participating in a beloved tradition, or simply being home with family, every patient’s goals and priorities are unique. Deciding whether to discharge someone early, delay chemotherapy to minimize side effects during the holidays, or prioritize comfort over the ‘standard of care’ is never straightforward. This is where the art of medicine comes in—collaborating with patients to find a path forward that respects their goals while delivering compassionate, high-quality care. It’s a process that hinges on trust and open, honest communication. As physicians, we work to create a space where patients feel heard, valued, and empowered to take part in the decision-making process. Medicine is about more than just treatments; it’s about people. And during the holidays, that truth resonates even more deeply. Take the time to talk to your doctor, share your goals, and ask questions. Trust and connection are at the core of great care. 💙 #HolidayCare #ArtOfMedicine #CompassionateCare #PatientCenteredCare #WomenInMedicine #WIMStrongerTogether #PhysicianLife

🚨 DOCTOR SAYS GLUTATHIONE SHOULD BE IN “EVERY RECOVERY ROOM IN AMERICA” — BUT NOBODY WANTS TO BE THE FIRST TO TRY IT A clip of Dr. Kendal Stewart is going viral after he questioned why hospitals across America still aren’t routinely using glutathione in surgery recovery rooms… despite believing it could help patients recover feeling dramatically better after anesthesia. According to Stewart: • glutathione could help “pull chemicals back out of your body” • patients may recover feeling better after surgery • and many anesthesiologists allegedly agree privately… but “don’t want to be the first person that ever does it” He also pushed back on fears that glutathione would interfere with medications during recovery, arguing: • most antibiotics are water soluble • anesthetics are fat soluble • and he personally doesn’t believe it would “pull the medications out” According to Stewart, many doctors may already know about it… yet nobody wants to be the first to try it. Now the comments are completely divided: • “So they think it works but nobody wants liability?” • “Medicine moves way slower than people realize.” • “This either helps people massively… or there’s a reason they avoid it.” • “The fear of being first says everything.” If something this simple could possibly help people recover faster after surgery… why does nobody want to use it? 📹: TikTok/drkendalstewart
