A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anesthesia docs KNOW: Anesthesiologists are medical doctors specializing in taking care of you during surgery. They know a lot about your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and how medications interact. They give you meds to make you unconscious and unable to feel any pain or remember anything during surgery. They can also place nerve blocks to help lessen your pain after surgery.
