“The anaesthetic technique that was used at PMH at that time was safe and simple – but limited. It consisted of an initial injection of thiopentone (pentothal) to put⟳ the person to sleep⟳. (Many older people will remember⟳ having been asked to count⟳ to ten as they were given such an injection.) Thiopentone is a short-acting drug – not a good agent to keep⟳ the patient anaesthetized for very long – so a switch⟳ must be made to another anaesthetic.”
