...from being a jingoistic and humiliating display, the "Gong Show" was a last-ditch but nonetheless humorous attempt to draw attention to the situation. There was certainly no punitive intent, and we doubt highly that any of those "gonged" felt even slighted. Certainly a little levity drew attention to a situation that the House has been unable to effect. NATHANIEL W. BULLARD '00 DAVID W. FOSTER '00 COLIN H. WOOD '00 DAVID A. WHELAN...

Don't just say you had a bad reaction to general anesthesia; say whether you felt nauseated, went into shock or took 12 hours to wake up. (No, I'm not exaggerating; some patients with an unusual genetic condition take that long to recover.) You should also bring up any allergies you have, since some anesthetic drugs trigger cross-reactions--particularly in patients who are sensitive to soy and eggs. A small but growing trend: preoperative visits to an anesthesiology clinic where doctors can check...
