i sure ur refering to an anesthesiologist or anesthetist, as some one has already mentioned... but its not exactly medicine..giving anesthesia is to subdue the nervous system to reduce pain and sensation during an operation.. it can also cause unconciousness.. anesthesia can also be local,of a specific area for smaller area surgeries.
