Much like [[Vagic|vagic]] that takes place in [[Delivery Rooms|delivery rooms]], '''puppet shows''' are the most popular form of entertainment provided by anesthesiologists.

'''Puppet shows''' are a newer form of medical entertainment, with much less history than '''vagic''', which was created several decades earlier.  The first '''puppet show''' was put on by anesthesiologist Dr. Thomas Kingston on October 12, 2016.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/10/puppet-show/ Anesthesiologist Puts Up Drape, Puppet Show for Surgeons (Gomerblog)]</ref>  Bored by Sudoku<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2013/06/anesthesiologist-calls-for-stat-sudoku-help-in-or-3/ Anesthesiologist Calls for STAT Sudoku Help in OR 3 (Gomerblog)]</ref> and having surfed the entire internet<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/03/free-flap-surgery/ Anesthesia Resident Finishes Reading Entire Internet During Free Flap Surgery (Gomerblog)]</ref>, Kingston decided to pioneer the effort of entertaining his surgical colleagues while maintaining his anonymity behind the [[Treaty of Drapes|drape]].<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/11/why-do-anesthesiologists/ Why Do Anesthesiologists Really Put Up That Drape in the OR? (Gomerblog)]</ref>  Kingston's puppet show was a resounding success, even earning a front page spot on both the ''[[New England Journal of Medicine]]'' and the ''New York Times''.  Not only has Kingston taken his puppet show on the road in the critically acclaimed Traveling Airway Puppet Show, it has actually become so popular than anesthesiologists are petitioning for a 1-year fellowship dedicated solely to the art of puppet shows.
