The author retired from active practice as a consultant anaesthetist in the British National Health Service during 1980 at the age of 60. He kept a detailed diary for the last full year as consultant. One of the Editors suggested that the diary could form the basis of a series of essays on various aspects of the life and practice of a consultant anaesthetist during the second half of the twentieth century, with his considered views culled from the experiences of a professional lifetime. The first essay deals with the effects of the industrial action by hospital ancillary workers in 1979 and considers the special role of the hospital anaesthetist during such disputes.
作者于1980年60岁时从英国国家医疗服务体系的麻醉顾问岗位上退休，不再从事一线工作。他在担任顾问的最后一整年里都记着详细的日记。其中一位编辑建议，这本日记可以作为一系列文章的基础，这些文章围绕20世纪下半叶麻醉顾问的生活与工作的各个方面展开，文中的深思熟虑的观点均源自其职业生涯的经历。第一篇文章探讨了1979年医院辅助工作人员罢工的影响，并思考了麻醉师在这类争端中的特殊角色。
