This book is dedicated to my wife, Marika, who sticks by me no matter how stupid I am, my son, Steven, and to the hundreds of anesthesiologists, obstetricians, nurses, and scrub techs who have helped make our team better. And to Yunping Li for pushing us to publish!

This book is dedicated to the memory of my mother Zhanmei Zhang and to my father Yifei Li for their encouragement; to my husband, Weixing, who supports me daily; to my son, Kevin, who has honored me by pursuing a career as a physician.
