Well that delicious trailer filled me with excitement - like being a kid and someone reminding me that soon Santa will be coming! Gave me goosebumps and a little sting in the eyes. Really looking forward to this. #insafehands #RTD

Anaesthesia is not sleep, it’s so much deeper. Today is ANZCA National Anaesthesia Day #NAD25 where each year on 16 October we celebrate the anniversary of the day in 1846 that ether anaesthetic was first demonstrated in Boston, Massachusetts. #InSafeHands @gonggasgirl.bsky.social

Relief of pain & suffering is central to the practice of anaesthesia. The word anaesthesia comes from two Greek words: "an" meaning "without" and "aesthesis" meaning "sensation". Dr Dilip Kapur is an anaesthetist, pain medicine specialist & @anzca-fpm.bsky.social dean. #insafehands bit.ly/42lfpB8
