Matt Crawford speaks with author Dr. David Alfery about his book, Saving Grace. Those of us who have had surgery probably haven't paid much attention to the person who puts us under. The anesthesiologist is the person who brings us closest to death to protect us, then brings us back. You would think we should know more about them and the process of sedation. Dr. Alfery brings us along as he recounts some of his most touching cases in his 40+ years in medicine. A touching read that demystifies anesthesia and shares some of the most impactful and heart wrenching cases of Alfery's career.
