A Day in the Anesthesia Department

YouTuber Tomatolix visited us and spent a day getting a taste of what it’s like to work in the anesthesia department. He was allowed to observe a heart valve procedure and was accompanied by Angelo Straus, a third-year trainee anesthesiology technician (ATA), and Martin Schmidt, a board-certified anesthesiologist.
