Of course too much of almost anything can be a bad thing and this is the case with anesthesia. It has been noted that anesthesia is in fact more dangerous to most patients than the surgeon scalpel, and in any particular medical situation there is usually very little room for error when it involves anesthesia, which is what makes allegations of anesthetic will malpractice so common.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) was founded to promote vigilance, adjustment, communication, and shared knowledge so as to produce better and aesthetic care and safer results for patients.
