*So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept;

then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.( BIBLE

:Genesis 2:21) Who is the first Anaesthesiologist then? its Lord,The God

almighty. Adam was first formed, then Eve and she was made of the man, out

of his bone, and for the man (1 Co. 11:8, 9), Thus the speciality of

Anaesthesiology is divine and .... Anaesthe...siologists are followers of

God.! According to the law of equations, following Anaesthesiologist is as

equivalent as following God!! .... Of course what is of more glorified act

than giving pain relief to whom who suffer from severe physical and mental

agony? Even Eve was not lucky enough to have a painless labour, a luxury and

privilege enjoyed by her descendants, made possible by this blessed branch

of medical sciences. The history of anaesthesia dates back and starts from

here.*

Morton's first successful public demonstration of ether anaesthesia for a

surgical operation, performed on October 16, 1846 in Boston/Massachusetts,

had far-reaching consequences. The first effect was the surprisingly fast

propagation of the new way of preventing pain to nearly all parts of the

globe. Anaesthesia made it possible to perform operations previously

considered impossible under conditions now acceptable for the patient. From

the beginning, recurring side effects and complications made it necessary to

collect and report these and to look for improvements or alternatives. This

led to the development of local and regional pain relief procedures. Much

later, the special field of anaesthesiology emerged. Today, 150 years after

Morton's pioneer work, anaesthesiology comprises not only pain relief for

operative procedures but also responsibilities in Emergency and Critical

Care Medicine and in the treatment of patients with chronic pain.

Accordingly, without the least disparagement of daily interdisciplinary

cooperation, one can wholeheartedly support Mayrhofer's view that the * " Century

of Surgeons " has given way to the " Century of Anaesthesiologists " . *

*HAPPY WORLD ANAESTHESIA DAY NOT ONLY TO ALL ANAESTHESIOLOGIST THROUGHOUT

THE WORLD ....BUT TO ALL THOSE WHO UNGERGO SURGERY WITHOUT

PAIN.....!!!!!!!!!*
