Get Ready With Me: Anesthesiology

It’s a tough job

[ErkDaRd]

No wonder anesthesiologists take breaks so often, with that much coffee I'd be asking for bathroom breaks every 5 minutes too

Excellent content as always!

I’d also add “I spend 5 minutes staring at the cork board with hundreds of thank you cards from mothers that I gave an epidural to”

Gotta keep those volatile surgeon reactions to a dull poof rather than a mushroom cloud

Anesthesiologists are incredible. The amount of horrible surgeries I've had that they let me be asleep for is insane. Bless them all.

The sitting and standing as an anesthesiologist is so accurate!!🤣

As an anaesthesiologist getting ready for work right now (it is 5.50 am in my timezone) I can confirm that this is almost exactly how my work starts. Except the coffee funnel, my wife is in family medicine and would never get up this early....

Even thought surgeons may think of themselves closet to god amongst all the physicians, it is the anesthesiologist who has the final say for patient safety. You rock.

Forgot to put disclaimers: no coffee machines or surgeons were harmed during the making of this video. 😅

"and avoid violent confrontations when you cancel their surgeries"

I see the beginning of a wonderful 'Get ready with Me' series 😅

As an anesethesiology resident, I can say this is 100% exactly what my morning looks like

As of today, I just matched into anesthesiology... somewhere!!! I'll find out on Friday. Can't wait to get my Junior MD Sudoku book for Board Prep and my first peritoneal coffee dialysis 🎉

I needed surgery about 3 years ago. I have a rare condition that could cause me to go into anaphylactic shock really easily. When I had a pre-op meeting with the anesthesiologist, he said "I've heard of your condition but I've never met anyone who has it." I'm glad that I could provide a teachable moment. They had to order special drugs for me. When I was in the operating room, the anesthesiologist held up a vial of a particular drug and said "We haven't used this drug in years!" I'm glad that they searched the back of the supply closet for me!. They kept a close eye on me during the surgery and all was well..no sign of anaphylaxis. Unfortunately, some people find out that they have the same condition as me when they have a reaction on the table during surgery.

When I was driving for Grubhub I delivered to an anesthesiologist who came out of the operating room to get his food, I asked him if he was in surgery and he said yeah, but the patient wouldn't miss him 😂😂

Sudoku hand cramps are a serious work place hazard.

Don't forget to add, "check the surgeon schedule to make sure they are actually the one on call." Thank you anesthesiologists for what you do!

😂😂😂. I know I scared the crap out of my entire surgery team in November. Went from joking to emergency the second I went out. They spent 2 hours pumping my stomach and clearing my airway because I started throwing up. Woke up and that sweet anesthesiologist was right by my side to make sure I was ok ❤️

As an Anesthesiologist, I approve this message! BTW, I'm a Mallapati 0.
