About the author
James E. Cottrell
8 booksWhen you know your options for anesthesia and post-op pain control, and actively take part in deciding what's best for you, you'll have the best outcome.
That's why I wrote my latest book, Anesthesia Without Fear, which explains what happens in the operating room, what the anesthesiologist does to ensure your safe return to consciousness—and what you can do to advocate for yourself. I hope to leave you with a sense of patient activism, able to be part of your own medical care team.
I'm a past president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and chairman emeritus and distinguished professor of the Department of Anesthesiology and the Gary and Sarah Sklar professor at SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn.
I'm also coeditor of Anesthesia and Neurosurgery (Elsevier, 7th edition, 2022) and Neuroanesthesia: Handbook of Clinical and Physiologic Essentials (Little, Brown, 1999), author of more than 100 articles in medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet, and the former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology.
I was a health policy adviser to Senator Edward M. Kennedy and the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources. I'm a founding member and former chair of the AIDS Action Foundation and am currently a regent for the State University of New York.
