TSA President 2024-2025Thank you. I am very honored that you chose me to be your President this upcoming year. The TSA’s Purpose Statement is: “It shall be the purpose of the Texas Society of Anesthesiologists to advance, promote, and support the practice of the medical specialty of Anesthesiology in the State of Texas.” I want to note that the TSA is doing this because we believe it is best for “Patient Safety.” In our new logo, you will see that we included “Physicians for Patients” to emphasize Patients. Therefore, promoting patient safety will be a guiding principle for me when making decisions.

Legends of Texas Anesthesiology:
Ezzat Abouleish, M.D.:
Obstetrical Anesthesiology Pioneer,
Teacher and Mentor, Artist and AuthorDr. Abouleish was a pioneer in modern obstetrical anesthesia. In fact, he was the first to perform labor epidural analgesia at Magee by placing a labor epidural catheter on his wife for the birth of their third child.
He pioneered this technique, teaching not only his residents, but also his peers, and eventually became one of the first to introduce the combined spinal epidural (CSE) technique into clinical practice.
He is remembered fondly for his big smile, his keen sense of humor and his unwavering dedication to patients and resident education.
