An anesthetic is a drug that induces a lack of feeling or sensation, the degree that it effects a user or patient depends of the type of anesthetic used and in what form it is used. The average person understands that anesthetics are widely used in the medical field. Examples of a medical anesthetics would be general or local, these make performing surgery possible by helping calm or even completely sedate a patient because they experience some degree of loss of consciousness after being given the drug. The effects of general or local anesthetics are fairly common knowledge due to the fact that most people have either personally gone through some type of surgery or they have seen someone else go through a surgery.

    Double Consciousness

    Though I’d love to claim I entered Andover’s gym my freshman year as a chiseled, knowledgeable veteran weight-lifter, that would be false. A more truthful storyline would tell the story of a young Ajay eagerly walking into the gym but sadly ending up whispering “help” with a 95- pound barbell on his neck. The whispers, though soft, were somehow enough to garner the attention of the entire football team who just happened to be engaging in their first team work out of the fall. Needless to say, I considered walking out of the gym at that moment and permanently relinquishing my quest for a Schwarzenegger-like body. My embarrassment did not stem from the fact that I could not lift the weight, but that others had seen my failure.…
