About this listen

Max and Calvin take you inside the operating room to discover what anesthesiologists REALLY do. From putting patients safely to sleep to monitoring over twenty vital signs every second, these doctors are the hidden heroes of surgery. Learn how the first anesthesia was used in 1846, why scientists still don’t fully understand how anesthesia turns off consciousness, and how specialists care for everyone from tiny newborn babies to patients in open-heart surgery. Full of surprising science, high-pressure moments, and mind-blowing facts, this episode reveals why anesthesiologists are some of the most trusted doctors in the world.
