A Very Important (not Really) Statement From Jet

[jetproppilot]

All right all you budding John Tinker, Michael Roizen, Alan Kaye genetic freaks...

This is gonna come as a big surprise to you, and it may change your life.

NOBODY OUT HERE DOING ANESTHESIA FOR A LIVING CALLS ANESTHESIA "GAS".

Yeah, it sounds pimp, vogue, in, cool, whatever adjective you wanna put here, but hey, sorry to burst you dude/dudette's bubble, but its just not used out here. If I was at the Bull Dog drinking some Ciroc straight up (HEY MILITARY, YA LIKE THAT???) and the worlds greatest ortho dude walked up:

"Bill, what specialty are you in?"

And I replied, in absolute surfer dude fashion,

"I'm Chief Gas Dude at my hospital, Slim."

He wouldnt know what the #$ck I was talking about.

Sorry to burst the GAS bubble. But thats why I post. To educate, enrichen, and entertain.

Will-please don't call me a gasdoc wannabe-amette

Thanks for the heads up, JPP! Glad I haven't had the chance to make that faux-pas yet.

So is there any way that people shorten the tongue-twistingly long "anesthesiology," or are we stuck saying the whole word?

Its all good here. Just giving you a heads up so when you show up for your first day in practice, walk up to the front desk, tell the nurse there that you're the new gas doc, you won't be surprised when she looks back at you, tilts her head to the left like your labrador retriever, and makes the
MMMMMMMMMMMMM?????? Scooby Doo noise.

Jet,

Hey man, I'm not surprised to hear your "gas doc" comments. I have on several occasions told folks at the hospital(s) that I'm going into "gas." As often as not I get the "Herro Raggy!" look, and need to explain myself.

BTW, do you feel like calling anesthesiology "gas" is somehow demeaning?


Willamette

 

[Justin4563]

hey i dont care what you call me ...

you can call me the housekeeper if you want.. Just dont bother me and make sure

i get a paycheck every friday that has bunch of zeros next to it..

In all seriousness, jet is right nobody calls it gas.. I dont know how medical students started using it..

Hey I here crnas call anesthesia docs... "Ologists" sometimes. to me that is the stupidest thing ..

not at all. Again, just keeping you BUDDING CHAIRMEN informed...

 

[militarymd]

Anything is OK with me, but for some reason I don't like "MDA"...I don't know why.

"Whatcha goin' into, Andy?"

"Anesthesia."

Thats about as short as it gets.

Just pronounce it right. One of the ladies in my previous gig's billing office used to answer the phone:

"Mid-Louisiana ANETHESIA?"

"MDA" is a locum company. (medical doctor associates) The only one who offers occurence based malpractice insurance.. for whatever that is worth
