neurosurgery
Helpful, lol.
I was referring to the patients. Most neurosurgery patients can't talk, move, or breath on their own. They're pretty chill to be around.
How chill are anesthesiologists?
I'd be pretty chill if I got to do crosswords and sudoku all day.

They're a weird brand of "chill." What's an OR besides a small ICU, anyway? Things can get ugly really quickly, but it doesn't seem to bother them 99% of the time.
Biased, but one of the reasons I went in... anesthesiologists.
Others: Radiology, PM&R
Of the surgeries: ENT

I think there's chill sections of all subspecialties. Broken down
Medicine: GI (Cardio tends to be 50/50 though all the fellows I've ever met have been chill awesome dudes) by far. Rheum comes in close second followed by Cardio. Pulm/CC has been the most intense in my experience
Surgery: Breast and Peds, Urology
Anesthesia def
PM&R for sure
Psych is 50/50
Rads is 50/50 in my experience as well, surprisingly
I think it depends a lot on individual personality too
anesthesia, EM, psych, PMR, radiology
During a small-group session today, a pediatrician was telling us that GI docs tend to be pretty relaxed and cool. I've known 4 different GI docs at this point, and they all have seemed quite chill, with good senses of humor, too.

psych
I don't know, man. GI docs have seen some ****...
I think that most if not all fields of medicine have people that are laid back while simulataneously having people that are extremely not laid back. At the end of the day you decide what personality you have. In terms of your colleagues, I'd say it's about fity-fity.
Can we please stop with all the crappy puns?
Yeah, there is nothing funny about the humerus.
As for most laid back personalities?
It's the spine surgeons.
i see what you did there

In my experience pathologists are really chill. They just don't seem to give a damn. Gas docs are chill because I think there is bleed off from the volatiles they use

They're all on propofol. (Half serious about that...)
You should have heard our pharm lecture on general anesthesia...
"Bueller.... bueller....."
What's better is when your professor says "'Bueller...Bueller'" to get the class's attention and then proceeds to explain what movie the quote is referencing. Has happened before.
This happened this past week.
I wonder if we're classmates, or if this is more common than you'd actually think...
This! PM&R docs seem to always be chill....

That's just because even they don't know what they do.

😉
gotta say though PM&R has some cool injections - i've seen them do some wacky things with ultrasound guidance
I would have to vote for Psy..........almost all I have met are chill.
GI docs are chill for the most part but I know a couple that are not.
EM docs are relaxed too. I think a EM doc would have to be not to be like "oh crap, what do I do?.......
Anes is hit or miss in my experience.
Dont know any PMR guys.....I could see that being chill though.
Optho guys are chill for the surgery side too.

SEC area of country.
I am assuming that's you in your avatar and I would've noticed you in the room if it was 😀
My favorite thing has been the multitude of professors showing a vacation picture after what seems like every 10 ppt slides. My God! 🙁
Nope, Big 12. But we did have a lecturer come in who grew up in New Zealand. He had about 10 slides about sorbing, hang gliding, etc. Fun stuff. Much better than the actual lecture 😳

I could be mistaked (and my pop culture knowledge is limited), but I think that's Lady Gaga in the avatar...
