A snack-sized companion piece for our pre-anesthetic labwork episode! Lauren and JJ share some comments from a veterinary anesthesiologist, discuss the importance of supportive care during anesthesia, and retell a super gross (you were warned) story from the annals of Craigslist, original author unknown. The ladies also discuss a listener question about “mandatory” socialization after work hours.

Some books and media referenced in this episode include the Hidden Brain podcast’s 2017 episode Radio Replay: Life, Interrupted and Atul Gawande’s 2009 book The Checklist Manifesto.
