The anesthesiologist is perhaps the seminal problem of our time. Are we able to note the presence of the anesthesiologist? The answer, obviously, is no. Because the anesthesiologist has been among us for so long now, an era. It is the Era of the Anesthesiologist. Many of you are holding the anesthesiologist's hand, counting backwards from ten, not making it very far at all. The anesthesiologist is an expert at self-erasure. It's like seeing a lens flare and thinking it is the fingerprint of light. For a millisecond you remember that you are a lens. And then you are only the flare of the lens, a fingerprint of light, and you are out. Gone, here. Language must be something made in the anesthesiologist's image. The anesthesiologist enters the room and there is no longer a room.
