Having had my first dealings with Anesthesiologists this past year I can tell you one of the most important traits is their ability to listen and HEAR what you as the patient are telling them. I noticed that this tends to come with experience in most cases. In my emergent situation every medical person tending to me perked right up and stopped what they were doing when I mentioned a family history of MH ( malignant hyperthermia) and in every case except one, I was told exactly what they would do to prevent that from ever happening by changing anesthesia protocols and thanked me for telling them. As one of the older Doc's told me, we don't like surprises and that is a serious one. Never had any instances where it became a problem.

Loved the pop up info that’s very helpful!

Hey Max, I'm a med. student in Germany and wondering if you are alone during induction and the operation, or if you have some kind of nurse/ support that helps you? Here in Germany you'll have a nurse that helps you during the induction and before. The nurse draws up the drugs, prepares the patient and the material and helps you during the procedure. So all in all the doc says which kind of medication he want's to give to do the general anesthesia and intubates the patient

[herminioherrerajr]

Im not yet a medical student but I would like to ask what was the hardest parts about learning anaesthesiology?

[marcresasco]

[pappudeb]

What are some of the types of diagnosis you make as an Anesthesiologist? Thank you :)

[helenvirlan]

Einstein would be proud of you, because I am!👏

[waynegrow]

Is it possible to have opoids alone for general anesthesia? Have currently just finished tapering off diazepam and am concerned as most general anesthetic works on gaba a receptors. Mine will still be downregulated and may put me into a protracted withdrawal.

My anestesiologist literary spent 2 minutes with me. They usuially just give the consent form, expect you to sign it quickly and leave. I think all that info that they try to create somewhat of a connection with a patient is a big overstatement. I was woken up by a registered nurse not anesthesiologist.

[carasmussen]

I had the best anesthesiologist before my pancreas surgery to remove a malignant tumor. he explained everything and knew about past issued i had.
