Real hero stuff right here. Thanks for being a good person!

Fun fact, the new climate bill has funding for nitrate research and mitigation, including encouraging farmers to use more sustainable practices!

Second to Stardew, and OP might like the Harvest Moon series as well! It's so rewarding to play a positive game like that, where long term planning really pays off, and you can create a system with so much personality and variety.

Have you had very many patients who struggle under, or begin to "come out" of total anesthesia? If so, how do you typically detect it, and solve the problem? If not, do you think there are still places in the world where this is a problem?

I've heard it called waking up, coming out, and several other things. I've assumed there are a few ways this can happen, each with different symptoms and severity? In college I helped to develop a device that could detect changes/trends in a patient's abdominal pressure during surgery, with the intention of creating an early warning system when a patient begins to "fight the ventilator." Specifically, we were advised that this could help detect if the paralytic was wearing off early. Initially, the physicians I worked with seemed excited by the idea, but business people I met later on seemed unimpressed, and told us it wouldn't be very helpful in modern ORs. When I saw your AMA I thought maybe you'd have some insight or experience one way or the other.
