Hi all,

Subject: 2 types of anesthesia care -- see msg.
Local and MAC (monitored anesthesia care) are 2 types of anesthesia, so probably "Local/MAC" would be best. However, I don't think I have ever been dinged on QA for typing "Local MAC" with a space.
Here is a link to an article on anesthesia types.

I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back! Argh! Anyone know these two needles...

I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!
