Stanford is a mixed hospital, with both full time faculty and private practice faculty. He has been in the private practice of anesthesia since 1986 and his viewpoints are unique because very few private practice physician anesthesiologists have worked in a major university hospital for over thirty years.

Private practice anesthesia differs from academic anesthesia in an important way, and he began writing monthly Deputy Chief Columns in the Stanford Anesthesiology Department newsletter in 2001, to articulate these differences.

 

Once the total number of columns exceeded sixty, he created The Anesthesia Consultant website in 2010 to share his writing with readers outside of Stanford. He continues to write 1 – 3 columns per month in addition to maintaining a full time job as a clinical anesthesiologist.
