The Etherist—Season 3 Trailer: Ether Day Revisited
Anesthesiology News Presents
08/20/21 • 3 min
In this new season of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist,” we celebrate the 175th anniversary of the original Ether Day by looking back at the origin of anesthesiology as a modern medical specialty.
We will revisit those early days of discovery and innovation and the people who made it all possible, but we won’t stop with the history of anesthesia. This season we will also dive into the emergence of new research that has revealed the basic effects of how anesthetic drugs work in the first place.
Join us on this journey into the past as we uncover what those early pioneers of anesthesia knew and didn’t know as they made one of the most significant medical discoveries in history.
This new season of The Etherist will be available on Oct. 16, the 175th anniversary of Ether Day.

From Rock to Doc: The Neil Ratner Story
Anesthesiology News Presents
02/21/23 • 20 min
Neil Ratner, MD, has played remarkably divergent roles in his life, initially as a rock-and-roll drummer and staging entrepreneur, working with the likes of Edgar Winter and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. But he always had an interest in medicine, so eventually he ditched his successful rock career and went to medical school, later becoming an anesthesiologist who embraced the then-novel concept of delivering non-OR anesthesia, which he helped pioneer.
It was through his work as an anesthesiologist for a plastic surgeon that he ended up meeting Michael Jackson, of all people, who immediately liked Dr. Ratner and his rock-and-roll roots.
His rock music and medicine careers enjoyed some precipitous highs but also significant lows, all of which he candidly details in his book “Rock Doc.”
Perhaps surprisingly, however, our interview with Dr. Ratner is mostly not about his rock-and-roll past or his work doing non-OR anesthesiology, but instead about what he is up to today: serving as a kind of public health announcer for a radio station in, fittingly, Woodstock, N.Y. His work interpreting medical news—particularly as it relates to COVID-19—for the station (WDST; 100.1 MHz) has made a difference in the public’s understanding of the complicated issues brought about by the pandemic.
The Pivotal Role of Anesthesiologists in Improving Maternal Care
Anesthesiology News Presents
04/26/23 • 11 min
Barbara Orlando, MD, PhD, an associate professor of anesthesiology and the division chief of obstetric anesthesiology at McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center, in Houston, discusses several ways to reduce morbidity and mortality in pregnant patients. She also addresses high-risk pregnant patients with various comorbidities, such as obesity and those with a lack of prenatal care.
“This podcast is about my personal journey as an anesthesiologist in gaining understanding and being more involved with societies and committees in charge of maternal mortality and morbidity. My interest was sparked by my passion for obstetric anesthesia, and my new role as a division chief of OB anesthesia at UT Houston. Reviewing bad outcomes and thinking of ways of reducing such events was very eye-opening to me, and I hope to inspire others as well.”
‘On the Case’: The Secret to Unusual Cases With Elizabeth Frost, MD

Ep 4: A Specialty in the Balance (The Etherist, Season 2)
Anesthesiology News Presents
10/06/20 • 31 min
The Growing Epidemic of Elderly Abuse
Anesthesiology News Presents
07/17/24 • 12 min
The number of senior citizens is growing rapidly; individuals aged 65 and older increased from 39.6 million in 2009 to 54.1 million in 2019 (a 36% increase) and is projected to reach 94.7 million by 2060. However, over the last few years, the usual respect and care of our aging population is decaying into a growing incidence of neglect and abuse.
Prior to COVID-19, one in 10 elderly adults in the U.S. experienced elder abuse. A major review in 2017 of 52 studies from 28 nations reported that 15.7% of people over 60 were subjected to some form of abuse. In 2020, this number doubled to one in five—a nearly 84% increase. A study by the Administration for Aging stated that hundreds of thousands of seniors were abused, neglected and exploited by family and others.
The following is an excerpt from a related Time Magazine article:
"What is even more disturbing is that in 90% of cases, the abuser is a member of the family, based on findings in the study. In fact, two-thirds of the abusers were adult children or spouses. We, of course, find this to be a shocking statistic; since the dawn of recorded history the elderly have been given great respect and were cared for by both the family and the community as a whole."
Ep 2: The Dreadful Discovery of Chloroform (The Etherist, Season 3)
Anesthesiology News Presents
10/26/21 • 37 min
The discovery of chloroform was closely intertwined with ether anesthesia because of the relative closeness of their discoveries, but it did not take long for the early pioneers of anesthesia use to understand the enormous difference between the two anesthetic agents.
From October 1846 to November 1847, anesthesia providers used ether to ease pain in surgery and it might have seemed as if a golden age in medicine was just beginning, but tragedy would eventually strike the growing specialty of anesthesiology. Hannah Greener’s experience with the use of chloroform anesthesia as a patient would mark a major crisis point for the early advocates of anesthesia.
This season of the series is about revisiting the history of anesthesiology while also reimagining those events based on what we know today. But that story can’t be told without also diving into the dangers of the use of anesthesia. It is perhaps the most important piece of knowledge that we possess now, that those early anesthesiologists were not sufficiently aware of at the time.
This is episode 2 of season 3 of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist.”
