anesthetist
Surgical sleep inducer
An anesthetist is a medical professional who administers anesthesia—the drugs that render patients unconscious or insensible to pain during surgery.
In American usage, anesthetist typically refers to a nurse anesthetist, while physicians specializing in anesthesia are called anesthesiologists.
British usage applies anesthetist to the physician as well.
