The medical firm that provides anesthesiology to Good Sam Hospital in Los Gatos is called Group Anesthesia Services, Inc. Doctors tend to be pretty somber, or even grave, so I’m impressed that they had the audacity to select a name whose initials (for a group of anesthetists, remember) are “GAS.” Perhaps the collective years of handling N20 have had some effect. The doctor who picked the name is a funny guy — a real cut-up.
Limping along on this theme of medical humor, I’ll point out an unfortunate web-page authoring mistake on the ASPS directory page for
Barry Press, MD, a plastic surgeon with a number of important certifications and a bone to pick with the folks at plasticsurgery.org. The site lists the procedures Dr. Press performs: everything from botox to Male Breast Reduction. The last item in the list is “credit card” (
