Celebrating Ether Day by getting vaccinated against H1N1. :)
If you're interested in this historic occasion, please read my Ether Day post from a couple of years ago. It still expresses how I feel about this anesthesia "holiday."

Ahh, how nostalgic -- I saw the real-life version of the above photo / painting just a few weeks ago! I recently did an medical student rotation in anesthesia at MGH, and spent a pleasant Sunday morning sitting in the high-backed chairs of the Ether Dome, just enjoying the warm bookish atmosphere of the place. I miss Boston. Happy Ether Day to you too!
Got my H1N1 jab 2 days before the post was written. But Happy Ether day!
I'd like to know where you found out that 10/16 is Ether day? I had no idea. I've added it to my Blackberry so I can celebrate it next year...in some form or fashion.
RAG - it's impossible to either train or practice anesthesia in the Boston area, with Mass General casting its august shadow over the city, without being exposed to Ether Day! If you're interested, I think someone wrote a whole book on the subject (author Julie M. Fenster, if memory serves)...
