"Anaesthetist" is the second single taken from the album The Mindsweep by British rock band Enter Shikari.

[2][3] An official video for the song directed by Mike Tyler was released on YouTube later the same day.

On the song, frontman Rou Reynolds stated "We seem to have reached a stage of such capitalistic fervour, that we believe it acceptable to punish people for ill health.

By charging for healthcare we act as if illness is nothing but one’s own problem, but what is the purpose and advantage of 'civilisation' if it is not helping the most vulnerable within society?
