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

"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

[@Notonpunishment]

I remember one of mine when I was like6 I had a foot surgery and before I went into anesthesia I was scared and he made really funny jokes that helped me calm down I don’t remember after that tho

[@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.

[@DocKimi]

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.

One issue that always gets overlooked is that we work with every surgical specialty in the hospital and therefore we have to have the knowledge to deal effectively with the particular diseases that can be affected by our anesthetics. That is you have to be able to do Anesthesia for Neurosurgery, for Cardiac surgery, for Neonatal (even prenatal!!) surgeries, obstetric anesthesia., etc., etc…Every specialty has their own different Anesthesia approaches. Besides, we are the clinicians of the OR, and the Pain management specialists. At the end of the day, we make the OR surgical experience a safer, less anxiety producing and as pain free as possible ordeal without getting the proper recognition from the patients or surgeons/proceduralists (but we love it anyway!)

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.

At us over here In Italy the anaesthesiology speciality is actually anaesthesiology, resuscitation and critical care specialty, it lasts five years. After that, you can subspecialise in cardiothoracic, neuro-anesthesia or cardithoraci/neuro-intensive care, neonatal/pediatric critical care, etc...I am an anesthesiologist and critical care doctor, I do both nearly 50-50, though now with Covid it’s become 90% respiratory critical care. If I should describe in few words my specialty, I wouldn’t talk of airway management, mechanical ventilation, regional anesthesia and all the big things it has...I would just say that, maybe more than most other specialties, anesthesia and critical care is mostly a way of life. You are always there: not in the sense of being in the hospital too many hours, but in the sense that you can help virtually any patient in any setting, any disease, any clinical contest. It could be a procedural sedation, or an intercostal block prior to chest tube placement, it could be transporting critical patients to other hospitals or working on an ambulance. So, the way I see it, this speciality has a lot more to do with choosing a way of being, a way of life, than a particular part of medicine. It’s actually a mix of many fields of medicine. Like Judo is the way of the softness, this specialty is to me the way of being always there. Just my view 😉👍🇮🇹

Would love to see so you want to be an oncologist ! Loving this series though.

[@nightcore9973]

I’ve always gone between anesthesiology, invasive cardiology and surgery(neuro, plastics, and cardiothoracic)

[@shanw1163]

Can you make a "So You Want To Be A Pathologist" please?

[@gihad697]

was thinking about this too!

[@drsomeone9656]

Just when I decided to know about the future of anesthesiology as I am really interested in it, this video shows up like a dream 😍

[@gustavswart4649]

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

[@abdu_jilani]

What's that

[@mt7040]

Critical care specialist , the doctor in ICU.

[@gustavswart4649]

[@justinpreddie5250]

finally, have been waiting so long for this

[@joaopacheco9777]

Love this Series!!!! Much love for this channel!

[@gwynyong]

Finally, one of my favourite specialties.

[@caroljwallace]

This was so helpful! I've figured out that I want to be an OB Anesthesiologist!

[@Davo2times]

Been waiting for this one for months!

[@Davo2times]

Hope to hear more about CRNAs too

[@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!

[@axelmoreno5275]

I have been waiting for this!!! Thank you so much!

[@ixie2727]

I clicked after watching Kristina Braly ✊🏻

[@ashtonasmr3157]

Same! Love her!

[@hiloryfoster]

i'm interested in seeing a day in the life of an oncologist and how the doctor deals with growing a relationship with their patients but also having alot of your patients passing away and watching them get sicker over time.

[@xXxMCmanxXx]

Brilliant videos, highlights all the reasons I am interested! The obgyn anesthetics is really true for me, really interested in obgyn, no interest in living that lifestyle. Would really appreciate a deep dive in the issue of mid-level encroachment and how things might look when the current batch of med students become attending anesthesiologists, 8 years is a lot of time and the land scape could really change.

[@hailey_games]

I only recently finally decided medicine is what I'd be most happy doing. I am drawn toward anesthesiology because of the pharmacology and physiology aspects, and I'd like to be in the OR. I'm so excited for my future journey! I'll have to do a post-bacc, but I can't wait to practice medicine!! ☺️ Thank you for this video!

[@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.

[@adamcordle4281]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been in anticipation

[@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.

[@unknownchannel3141]

This. Is waaaay cooler than I previously thought.

[@qwertyuiopqwertywert]

I'm eager to see the mid-level encroachment video. It would very much suck to have 500k of debt after finishing med school only to not be able to find a job in your field.

[@midaztouch]

The job market (in the Chicago area) is currently pretty good for anesthesiologist but I’m not sure how long that will last.

[@Matt-bi4dp]

Mid level I a negative connotation

[@sharrenhenry6469]

omg yes i’ve been waiting for this video! tysm!

[@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

[@VaporWolfYT]

I saw a day in a life video on a anesthesiologist and I’ve been intrigued by the job since, thanks for the informing video!

[@EBMisKing]

Son of an anesthesiologist and CRNA student here. Just want to clarify, while SOME anesthesiologists have a 9-5 schedule, I can promise you that you will not find that in a vast majority of places. Growing up, my dad often was on call (he did in fact have a pager) and would get called in the middle of the night for trauma calls, OB epidurals, pediatric emergencies, and cardiac cases that “couldn’t wait until morning”. My father missed many holidays and birthdays growing up and that was extremely normal throughout the profession. Just remember, if your hospital has a trauma team, there is at least 1-2 anesthesiologists there in addition to the surgical team…

[@faithestrada5444]

I've beeeen waiting for this episodeee!!! Thank you!

[@shantnubhanwala5972]

[@anino71ful]

Yes please make this happen, I was going to school looking into physical therapy but have gained interest in PM&R

[@kitsunehikaru-4268]

“Hardcore, intense and somewhat an adrenaline junkie” omg lmao I laughed so hard at the description of cardiac anaesthesiologist. That’s me though. Oh well lmao

[@FarahRajeh28]

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

[@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🌹

[@bobsmith8636]

Overall good video, although the data about anesthesiology being the "second least competitive" specialty is obviously wrong. haha I even looked at YOUR data, linked to your video "least competitive specialties" and anesthesiology has a lower successful match rate than: PM&R, emergency medicine, child neurology, diagnostic radiology, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, and pathology. It is near the middle of the road for all metrics measured, and only gets as low as the bottom 5 for research publications and AOA, which is not surprising since anesthesiology is among the least academic of medical specialties. Just pointing this out because if anyone is watching this video and thinking "oh well, at least I can always fall back on anesthesiology!" You are going to be disappointed. lol

[@azkool5106]

Finally. I’ve been waiting for this video since this series started

[@justinpreddie5250]

So your telling me I would have to compete with both physicians and CRNAs? :'(
