Nurse anesthesiologist

A term not recognized or used by the medical community because it misrepresents work done by advance practice nurses. More appropriately called Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), they work under the guidance of a physician who is residency trained and possesses a medical degree - either an MD or DO. Anesthesiologists are physicians, medical doctors who have finished medical school and a rigorous residency training program to provide safe anesthesia care to patients. Nurses may also provide anesthesia, and those nurses have been known for decades as "nurse anesthetists". Recently, the nurse anesthetists have decided to call themselves nurse anesthesiologists in order to mislead and inflate a sense of self worth. The term is not recognized by the American Medical Association or American Osteopathic Association.
I wanted to grow up to become a nurse anesthesiologist but then I learned there was no such thing. I would need to become a medical doctor to be called an anesthesiologist.

Anesthesiac

Someone who makes a promise and keeps it for a short amount of time, then goes back to what they were doing that made you ask them to stop in the first place, therefore, applying an anesthesia-like effect to the situation.
"He keeps doing it over and over, despite promising he would get better. He's such an anesthesiac."

anisethesia

An essential-oils-based "knock-out gas" made from aromatic herbal-extracts, and used to render patients unconscious prior to surgery.
I try to stay out of the hospital at all costs, anyway, but if I ever did need to undergo major surgery, I would rather get "put under" by a natural-plant anisethesia rather than any of those highly-dangerous synthetic-gas cocktails administered by mainstream medicine.
