Rushed to Artemis after a motorcycle accident with head trauma, I remember Dr. Anand's voice cutting through my panic: 'I've got your breathing controlled, now focus on my words.'

For my deep brain stimulation surgery, Dr. Anand designed a customized awake anesthesia protocol. During the procedure, he kept me comfortable yet alert enough to respond to neurologist's questions.
