Specifically an anesthesiologist -

Ronald Dworkin: An Anesthesiologist’s Take on Health-Care Reform - WSJ.com

Incredibly, Congress's proposed health-care reform plan risks skimping on anesthesia. According to one of the health-care bills in Congress, H.R. 3200, the public option would reduce reimbursement for anesthesia by over 50%.

More broadly, the bill reflects the incorrect assumptions progressive politicians have made about the mindset of today's doctors and how the health-care system operates.

Hey? Who needs anesthesia anyway? Americans have grown soft - we need to toughen up!

Remember the expression "Bite the bullet"? It's about to stage a comeback.
