Hello from Mabry students!
Dear Dr. Berry,
Thankyou for taking the time to read and hopefully answer some of the questions written by our 7th grade life science class.
1. When you mentioned taking care of seven patients over the weekend, I wondered what is the largest amount of patients an anesthesiologist can handle in one day?
2. What other techniques are involved in anesthesiology, because you mentioned anesthesiologists use medications and other techniques?
3. Why is it that the anesthesia does not shut down the whole body since it is injected into the blood stream?
4. You mentioned using anesthesia to keep people from feeling pain. How do you know the right dosage?
5. What is the longest time anybody has ever been under anesthesia, and what is the longest suggested amount of time they could safely be under?
We are anxious to know your answers to our questions and look forward to asking more.
Thanks again,
Mabry Middle School Connected Student
