A person trained to administer anesthetics.

There is a major distinction between an anesthesiologist and an anesthetist. An anesthesiologist has a doctorate whereas an anesthetist does not.

An anesthesiologist is a physician (or, less often, a dentist) who specializes in the practice of anesthesiology while an anesthetist is a nurse, or technician, trained to administer anesthetics.

The history of medicine is a story of amazing foolishness and amazing intelligence.
