Another Needless Death

During last weeks national meeting of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA), we learned of yet another death from propofol. This time it wasn't a famous entertainer. It was an anesthesia provider. No one will read this person's story, and only family and friends will mourn their death. In fact, I even heard one comment by a member of the profession that actually celebrated the death. "One less "F - ing" addict out there!"

Amazing. Someone's parent/child/spouse/friend/colleague dies from a treatable disease, and someone is happy it happened.

I guess it only matters when it's a celebrity.

What in the world is wrong with our society?
