Re: best videos

If you are going to use the "a" it comes before the "e" as in anaesthesia 
derived from from the Greek "an" meaning without and "aisthesis" meaning 
sensation.

Sorry, I was writing quickly and forgot that there is a common
American spelling.  In my educational background people were sticklers
about the language and you had to learn Greek, Latin, or German if you
were studying medicine because the terminology is all rooted in those
languages.

Either is acceptable in common usage and I should have thought about
that comment before I made it.  Anesthesia is and always has been a
bastard spelling in my mind and that prejudice slipped out.  My bad.

However, I am interested in what he was/is doing with hypnosis as
anesthesia/aneasthesia in a medical practice.  The OP's first post
doesn't quite pass the first sniff test as coming from an MD, but you
do get a strong whiff of GRPiness about it.
