strengths and weaknesses. During the preclinical years I found myself enjoying the study of physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry–the topics that are the bread and butter of anesthesiology.

The surgeon finds the correct landmarks to clamp the aorta and the cross clamping time is called out to everyone in the operating room. The surgeon’s words hang in the air as there is one less…
