Having just come off an anaesthetics rotation, it is more or less witchcraft.
It's highly amusing when the patient, younger student, etc inquires how or why something works and everyone just has to "gallic shrug SCIENCE".
Danstuff - correct, I was hoping noone would call me up on that - I just didn't have a better analogy. The point is there are things we do without proper justification. Also, there isn't a good trial of anaesthesia because we'd have to have awake patients as the control group... you can trial two anaesthetic agents against each other but not really against something that isn't also a GA.
