So You Want to Be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST [Ep. 12]

So you want to be an anesthesiologist. You like the idea of being in the operating room, being the patient’s guardian angel, and having a laidback lifestyle. Let’s debunk the public perception myths of what it means to be an anesthesiologist, and give it to you straight. This is the reality of anesthesiology.

"if you do your job right, the patient shouldn't remember you" what a great definition of a good anesthesiologist... Awesome video!

[@maryhasaballa4052]

Quite true. I don't remember my anesthesiologist at all

[@LJStability]

I think a lot of stereotypes of anesthesiology were definitely wrong when I shadowed an anesthesiologist during medical school. It turned out that one anesthesiologist can be running multiple surgeries with CRNAs at the same time. For patient interaction, I remember most of the discussions being about the same, expect for how likely there might be a complication. Here's an example of my shadowing experience in anesthesiology to provide some context into the type of people I saw in the field and the situations they deal with. I was with an anesthesiologist and his CRNA during my second year of medical school. Everything was going smoothly and I was learning a lot from observing what he did with his CRNA. It was actually cool to see the teamwork and focus they had despite the surgeries they were participating in. I had a good time overall. The part that was the hardest was the last patient that was in heart failure. We were told her ejection fraction was round 25% or so. She needed another assessment of her heart function in the cath lab before they could proceed with the surgery she needed. Despite the high risk patient, I remember the anesthesiologist saying,"She's not going to crash". This was despite the older nurse in the ICU having a more skeptical outlook. Again, he was pretty confident in his abilities. We next got the patient and took her back to the cath lab. The patient's family was crying and pretty distraught. It was bizarre at first because the surgical staff was wheeling out the patient leaving me at the end of the cart telling the family she was in good hands as I turned the corner. It felt a bit more abrupt that I would've like personally. However, the patient needed immediate assessment and treatment, so I understood why it was brief. Any how, we took the patient to the cath lab, which was pretty crowded with machines and other devices. Given how cramped it was, I nearly touched the blue tarp and got a nasty stare from one of the surgeons. I ended up going behind the anesthesia cart because anywhere else I would either be in the way or touch the tarp. I wanted to still be alive after shadowing after all! As the doctors proceeded to put in the arterial lines, the patient became very combative requiring four surgeons to try inserting the line while calming the patient. None of the efforts to calm her were working. The patient seemed to either be extremely sensitive to pain or was simply confused (she was pretty tired before being sent to the cath lab due to her failing heart so this was understandable). One surgeon eventually said,"Alright, that's enough you going to sleep now". The patient was then administered the proper anesthetics for the cath procedure to proceed. Again, not the best way to start to what I thought would be a routine surgery. Then, the patient's heart started to go in atrial fibrillation. To say the room went insane would be an understatement. I remember that one of the blood pressure cuffs wasn't working on the anesthesia cart in the cath lab so they had to put in a line that would directly measure the blood pressure. I saw one of the residents insert the line but accidentally moved and dislodged it. After which, the anesthesiologist said,"You moved the godd*mn line!" and proceeded to go for an external jugular to not only measure by administer fluids. The CRNA then went to get the plastic laryngoscope (never knew those existed at the time) in the cart to start the intubation. However, the plastic covering around it wouldn't come off for some reason and it wasn't operating well. He ended up slamming it a bit harder in frustration on the cart and it broke; he subsequently retrieved the new laryngoscope and intubated the patient with the anesthesiologist. After which, the anesthesiologist inserted the line into the external jugular vein faster than I thought humanely possible. During this time, I was quietly behind the cart wondering what the hell I got myself into. At the same time, I remember having a deep urge to use the bathroom. However, the flurry of activity and stress in the atmosphere neither helped my personal emergency nor my shock at what was happening. After which the patient was stabilized with the proper medication. The anesthesiologist then performed a transesophageal echo to see the patient's heart directly. As he got a good image, he was then able to measure the patient's ejection fraction using one of the computer programs. It turned out that it was worse than what was previously reported; a little less than 10% for the ejection fraction. Seeing this the anesthesiologist said,"She's a godd*amn walking dead person", in shock of how bad her situation was currently. At the same time, he calmly motioned me to come forward as if we were having a cup of coffee to get a better look at the screen. I crossed my arms tightly next to my chest because of how close everything was and all the people in the room. He then proceeded to teach some more on what was going on. To say this was bizarre would be an understatement. After finishing our job and having the patient's procedure continue, we left the procedure and headed back to the surgical ward. The anesthesiologist was very happy I stayed calm during the whole process and didn't cause any problems. He ended up writing me a good letter to use for residency given the type of situation that occurred. After changing back into my street clothing, I headed back to the research department and be-lined straight to the nearest bathroom. I needed some time for my personal emergency and to have some time to breath. To say it wasn't what I expected would be an understatement. I later found out from him that her prognosis was poor and that she only had a few days left to live. It was a somber reminder at how quickly things can change in the hospital. This happened during my second year of medical school. I may have forgotten some of the details or background so I apologize if some information is confusing for anyone in the surgical field. I merely wanted to provide a good example of what anesthesiologist actually deal with in the cath lab and operating room. Anesthesiologists do a lot more work than people realize, especially with the number of surgeries they have to run at the same time. In addition, they know how to do many emergent procedures and have the backs of surgeons on difficult surgeries. I often describe anesthesiologists as the ER docs for the OR. Like ER docs, there's a lot of routine in their work. But they also have the routine situations that requires their calm and focused skills to save a patient when everyone else, including the surgeons, are loosing their cool. I have a lot of respect for the specialty and appreciation for what anesthesiologist do. Despite what people think, these guys are pretty badass when it comes to keeping people alive.

I'm doing my residency in Anesthesiology, and I'm currently on my 2nd year of residency. I strongly disagree with Anesthesiologists being in the shadow of Surgeons. When I do my preop on my patients, I clearly state my role as his/her physician who will be handling him/her in the OR during the surgical procedure. My favorite line when I talk to my patients, "Surgeons mainly focus on what they are operating on you. Anesthesiologists monitor you during the surgery and keep you safe and alive while you are being operated. We make the Surgeon's job possible for them to do what they need to do." LOL. This way, they remember the importance of our role as Anesthesiologists, not just mere doctors who make them fall asleep before the surgery. Most of my patients fondly remember me especially when I do my postop rounds, and thank me for making their surgery a success.

Can we have a “So you want to be an Intensivist.”??

[@abdu_jilani]

[@mt7040]

Critical care specialist , the doctor in ICU.

Thank you Dr. J for doing this video!!!! 😘

[@gwynyong]

Finally, one of my favourite specialties.

[@Mark-qt8fs]

Great video! However, I disagree with the statement "If you (the anesthesiologist) do your job right, the patient shouldn't remember you." There are certainly differences in patient exposure across subspecialties but my wife and I remember the anesthesiologist that did an epidural for her well. My wife wanted to deliver twins without an epidural and the anesthesiologist was supportive of that. He did, however, put measures in place in case something wasn't going according to plan. Things didn't go according to plan and his expertise allowed it to still be an extraordinary experience.

[@melodykhoramshahi8246]

Can you do a “so you want to be a psychiatrist” please?

[@9Shahrukh9]

Never clicked a video faster lol! Amazing video thank you, helps me in my decision making.

[@jpstephens414]

Thank you for this valuable information I will pass it along to my son who wanted to be an anesthesiologist since the young age of eight thank you so much🌹

[@FarahRajeh28]

Please can u do “so you want to be a radiologist”

[@Whoisreeski2]

“ so you want to be a Interventional Radiologist”

[@what-gr1lt]

the last three “so you want to be” vids have been ophthalmology, dermatology, and anesthesiology. So if he’s following a pattern, that means the next one will be radiology. But it might also just be a coincidence

[@jorge-lp2xi]

Hoping it's not a coincidence

[@salsacardone]

I work in radiology. Interventional Radiologist seems like a great specialty. I think its a 5 year general residency and 1 yr fellowship in interventional. There's also, pediatric, neuroradiology, womens imaging, nuclear medicine, and others that are all 1 yr fellowships.

[@immunealtair2737]

Yeesssss

[@dianaramos8223]

Thank you for this video I’m still young but this made me feel more secure about taking Anesthesia as a. Career

[@unknownchannel3141]

This. Is waaaay cooler than I previously thought.

[@JacobyStites]

Have you done a video about being a CRNA? I am currently getting my BSN and have been considering two different routes. CRNA or NP in trauma.

[@shamaalmiller59]

"Med school Insiders" don't be that guy. Best of luck on what will likely be a rewarding career choice though!

[@MeghanaNittala]

Can you do "so you want to be a Pediatrician" PLEASE

[@foxgloveoleander]

yes finally! I've been waiting for this ❤️

[@justinpreddie5250]

finally, have been waiting so long for this

[@Alyssa-cj4dp]

The mid-level encroachment is something i am concerned about. I want to be a doctor and an anesthesiologist but I want to do procedures, not be a manager of others work😢

[@RobertMorrey]

Intubation, placing lines, peripheral blocks, spinals

[@midaztouch]

You can subspecialize in pain medicine. You’ll get your procedures AND you’ll have more job safety than a regular anesthesiologist like me. Good luck.

[@oghoghoehiorobo4416]

I’m 11 I’m going to start college classes in high school so I can graduate early then go to Med school so I can be an anesthesiologist thank you for making this video. :)

[@beanthealien2090]

You make it sound like it’s easy, it really isn’t, ;-;

[@nxd1141]

Thank you . Just what I wanted to see

[@kameronjermiha5196]

So glad I found this channel bro you are amazing

[@no_name2136]

On the ‘day in the life’ series you are doing, could you please do a day in the life of an anaesthesiologist, if you haven’t already?? Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@maameaddison5243]

Can you please do an Interventional radiologist? I am super interested in that field and it's what I am going for!

[@salsacardone]

I've worked in radiology for a while now. Interventional seems cool. CT-guided Lung biopsies, US guided Paracentesis, Thoracentesis, etc. There's also neurointerventional. They do lumbar puncture, myelogram's, administer chemotherapy into the spinal canal for certain types of cancers. Total I think it's 5 year general radiology residency, 1 yr interventional fellowship, 1 year neuroradiology fellowship. I just know that the guys that do neuro, don't typically do the other stuff, and vice versa.

[@yweerakkody7472]

Yay! Thank you for uploading!

[@cairobeverly8293]
