I have no need to justify my qualifications here, they are true and I have been practicing for >10 years, but regardless of that the statements themselves are true - see I am not going for a qualification bias arguement - in other words what I have stated is factually true regardless of my own qualifications. To whomever stated I don't understand medical ethics, I don't think you know what the term ethics is - my statement had nothing to do with the ethics, it had to do with physiology (not philosophy!)
Please read (as two of many examples)
Consciousness and Anesthesia
Michael T. Alkire,1 Anthony G. Hudetz,2 and Giulio Tononi3,* Science. Nov 7, 2008; 322(5903): 876–880.
Curr Opin Anaesthesiol. 2012 Aug;25(4):397-404. doi: 10.1097/ACO.0b013e32835561de.
Conscious processing: implications for general anesthesia.
Changeux JP.
This is a whole issue from my standpoint is in response to those who required consciousness as requisite to be considered human or have human rights.Also, I don't know Latin, don't need to know Latin, and will never learn Latin - it has no utility in medicine. I know basic stems, suffixes, and prefixes that relate to medical terms that are used within the context of my training and that's about it. We actually speak in ENGLISH in medicine in America.
