How society will pay for health care is an issue that deserves attention. For example, according to the US Congressional Budget Office the federal deficit is on an unsustainable fiscal path leading to crushing deficits in coming decades mostly due to soaring federal expenditures for Medicare and Medicaid. The projections are that if healthcare costs continue to grow as rapidly over the next four decades as they did over the past four decades, Medicare and Medicaid would rise from 4.5 percent of the economy today to 20 percent by 2050. In fact, their budgets would equal the entire size of the federal government today. Many observers have noted that the federal government is increasingly becoming a health insurance firm with various different side businesses. This issue of Anesthesiology Clinics explores the relationship between the costs of anesthetic management strategies and the value of this care as reflected by patient outcomes and satisfaction. The goal is to provide a viewpoint from a variety of anesthesia subspecialties as to how to provide the best patient outcomes at the lowest practical costs. This includes administrative and organizational support for an efficiently functioning operating room.

A collection of 25 thought provoking Essays which create a bridge between the Classical personification of values and link them to current training and education in Western Medicine. This readable and erudite text provides a framework for modern clinical values - with a particular emphasis on anesthesiology - set in the context of ageless dilemmas facing each generation of physicians. Medicine as a profession carries some specific obligations.The qualities of empathy, knowledge, generosity, respect, and scholarship provide a "family" of values that was personified by the Ancients in the family of Asklepios, and which form the basis of professional values today. Moreover, a substantial amount of professional growth should come from reflection based on the experience of caring for real patients – an appreciation of the human condition. Each essay within this beautifully crafted book illustrates the importance of expertise, skill, focus, mindfulness, and collaboration, all of which are integral to professionalism in medicine, and in particular to those working in the field of anesthesiology. Anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists and Anesthesia Assistants will find much to enhance their professional understanding within this text. The principles, values and traits of professionalism are relevant to all medical specialties and these essays provide a lyrical understanding of the traits required for professional development.
