CURE Quote
A long time, there were two major makes of the machines that delivered the anesthesia-essentially Ford and GM,… The models were similar except for one key difference: on the Ford, the valve controlling the anesthesia turned clockwise; on the GM, it turned counterclockwise. Sometimes, anesthesiologists became confused about which model they were working on. They turned the valve the wrong way. The cure was to standardize the machines, so that they all turned the same way.
