He is awake and can feel the scalpel cutting into his chest, but he is completely paralyzed and unable to alert the doctors to his condition. <br /><br />Being awake during surgery is one of those classic patient fears that tend to haunt some backburner of the mind even though the likelihood of it is so remote that it makes perfect fodder for a Hollywood thriller. <br /><br />Still, if any of those lingering fears could possibly persist, the Anesthesiology Research Exposition, held Nov. 27 in Weill Cornell Medical College's Department of Anesthesiology, served as an opportunity to put them to rest for good.

And that sharp decline began decades before chemotherapy was introduced as an effective medical course for TB patients. <br /><br />So, if the disease was being effectively beaten back prior to any medical revelation, what sparked the decrease?
