5.0 out of 5 stars Unseen glories of anesthesiology unravelled
Book is very well written. Journey of career of anesthetist is finely interwoven with anecdotes and essential life skills and keeps the reader engaging throughout. Language is simple and helps the reader to easily understand the key aspects author intends to convey. Topics on communication and stress are very well captured.
I recommend this book strongly to all medicos and non-medicos to understand the roles and responsibilities of anesthetist who play a great role behind the scenes in patients life and also understand the take home messages on life skills..

4.0 out of 5 stars The book : Think like an anesthetist
A good book worth reading by all doctors, not just anaesthetists.
However, I ordered & paid for two copies but received only one for the price of two !
Still, book is worth it.
