About anaesthesia

WE refer to the article Going under on page SF8 in Fit4Life on Oct 24. We feel that this article has made several inaccurate statements about the practice of anaesthesia which can mislead the public and thus requires immediate rectification:

1. The statement, “Dr Friedberg’s patients typically awaken within minutes after the operation, while the common method might take hours, if not days” is not just misleading; it is absolutely wrong.
