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 a consultant. One of the Editors suggested that the diary, augmented by his considered views culled from the experiences of a professional lifetime, 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. This essay considers the present and future role of the anaesthetist in intensive care and the need for proper policies of organisation and training in that discipline.
作者于1980年60岁时从英国国民医疗服务体系的麻醉顾问岗位上退休，不再从事一线工作。在担任顾问的最后一整年里，他都详细记录了日记。其中一位编辑建议，这本日记结合他从漫长职业生涯经历中提炼出的深思熟虑的观点，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医生的生活与工作的各个方面展开。本文探讨了麻醉医生在重症监护领域当前和未来的角色，以及该学科制定合理的组织与培训政策的必要性。
