For many of the millions of people who undergo anaesthesia each
year, it is the source of great fear and fascination. In Counting
Backwards, anaesthetist Henry Jay Przybylo has written an
unforgettable account of the routine procedure's daily dramas and
fundamental mysteries. Przybylo has administered anaesthesia more
than 30,000 times on newborn babies, screaming toddlers and sullen
teenagers, his own son and even a gorilla. With compassion and
candour, he weaves his experiences into stories that explore the
nature of consciousness, the politics of pain relief and the wonder
of modern medicine. Through its intense and humane tales of
mistakes, near-disasters, life-saving successes and moments of
grace, Counting Backwards shines a light on a fascinating but
unexplored corner of the medical world.
