In this episode, I had the pleasure of discussing intraoperative pain with Susanna Stanford. Susanna is a patient who experienced intraoperative pain, and knowing she was not alone, she has actively raised awareness of this issue. In her own words, “Being able to feel major abdominal surgery is every bit as horrific as it sounds.” Her recommendations and those proposed by Plaat and colleagues (a paper she co-authored) in their article titled Prevention and management of intraoperative pain during caesarean section under neuraxial anaesthesia: a technical and interpersonal approach should be acknowledged by every anesthesiologist who attends to the obstetric patient. Here are the links to the articles mentioned during the podcast.

According to the CDC, systemic racism is a public health threat. In this interview, I discuss with Dr. Lee, author of the article Causes of health inequities, how racism, not race, is related to worst maternal health outcomes.
