:11:03
lt's quick. Stop the pentothal.
:11:05
You see, pentothal isn't
really an anesthetic.
:11:08
Any deep pain right now
and she'd wake right up.
:11:10
What we need for anesthesia is gas.
:11:13
First l'll inject some succinylcholine.
:11:16
l want you to watch her chest gauge
because she'll stop breathing.
:11:23
She's now experiencing
complete muscular paralysis.
:11:27
She's got three minutes
to breathe or she'll suffocate.
:11:30
So now we intubate.
:11:32
Taking a laryngoscope like so.
:11:35
Hold her head
in an extended position.
:11:37
Enter laterally, put up
the base of the tongue, up and out...
:11:40
...visualizing the trachea.
:11:42
There it is, fellas. Take a look.
:11:45
You see it?
lt's right over there.
:11:48
Come on, guys!
:11:50
Take our tube and enter here.
:11:55
ln the middle of surgery,
l'll switch over to the telothane.
:11:59
Stirrups up?
:12:03
How is John?
:12:05
His fever broke today.
He'll go back to school tomorrow.
:12:08
Now we can check
the pupillary reflexes.
:12:10
Though she's unconscious,
the pupils should react to light...
:12:14
...and let us know
that the old brain is okay.
:12:17
That's it. Anesthesia's the easiest job
in the world until something goes wrong.
:12:21
lt's 99% boredom
and 1 % scared-shitless panic...
:12:25
...which we try to avoid.
The patient's yours, Dr. Richards.
:12:29
lf you move in behind me...
:12:31
...you'll see what l am going to do
for this young woman.
:12:34
Some music, please.
:12:38
Actually, what l'm going to do
is get her out of a hell of a mess.
:12:42
She's pregnant.
:12:43
She doesn't want her husband to know.
:12:47
lt's none of my business.
:12:49
l'm just her surgeon.
l don't run her life.
:12:54
So in fact, our task is simplified...
:12:57
...when the uterus is
anteverted and anteflexed.
