    #62: To operate, or not to operate

    POV: You're trying to decide if your patient is fit to go ahead with surgery, and you're about to call the anaesthetics team but you stop and think - "I wonder how they make that decision?". WELL DO WE HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! This week Alex is joined by consultant anaesthetist Dr. Lahiru Amaratunge, of the ABCs of Anaesthesia podcast, to take a deep dive into how much anaesthetists come to that decision, and how much they love morning coffee.
