Word of the Week: Anesthetize

Our word of the week for 2/6/12 to 2/10/12 is anesthetize.

The dictionary definition of anesthetize is "to render physically insensible, as by an anesthetic."  As we discussed in class, an anesthetic is a (legal) drug that anesthesiologists use to anesthetize patients.  We didn't go over this in class, but anesthetize is a verb.

The sentence we created in class to practice the word anesthetize is:

The victim was shot, so he was taken to the hospital and anesthetized for surgery.

Another sentence that was posted to our blog during class was:

When I have to have surgery, I want to be anesthetized.
