etherizer

noun

Etymology From etherize + -er.

One who etherizes a patient.

The dread of most etherizers is a quiet breather who may stop breathing without his notice, and requires the almost constant presence of his ear at the patient's mouth to be sure he or she is all right.1903, William Brodie, Carl Jungk, Francis Edward Stewart, The Therapeutic Gazette, page 536:
