...their flow rates, electronic equipment to give continuous readings of the patient's pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, and the oxygen concentration in his blood. One recent addition to the anesthesiologist's kit is an oscilloscope screen across which as many as half a dozen of these vital indices parade in ever-changing squiggly yellow lines...
...little assignment, and then disappears," said Dr. Volpitto. "It's different today. Anesthesiologists see the patients in advance, and we play a role with the surgeon in preparing them for what is to come." The A.S.A.'s incoming president, Dr. John J.

...Opposition. The very logic of mergers-reduced costs and greater efficiency by ending duplication -draws fire from practically every group that has an interest in traditional patterns. Besides the Justice Department and outraged competitors, the list includes labor unions that will lose jobs, communities that will lose revenues and vital services, stockholders who fear a watering-down of their shares, even executives who feel that they may be lost in a reshuffle...
