I'm sure its too early to b#tch about how anesthesia is treating me so far since I can say most days are pretty good (6-6) with free weekends.
However, I'm finding the catering business to be a little annoying. Last year, I catered to patient's unreasonable demands. Now, it's dumb***** surgeons telling me the patient is not relaxed when clearly 0/4 twitches, ETCO2 waveform doesn't show anything suspicious, and I gave 10 of vec like 10 minutes ago during the induction period. Then I give a placebo. Let me give 2 more. Blatantly not. And suddenly the patients relaxed 3 minutes later. I think this pisshole just does it on purpose because he sucks at putting trocars in and resistance = not relaxed.
This catering to surgeons who are stupid is starting to get annoying. I know when I joined the anesthesia club, that I wouldn't get credit for a lot of stuff like thanks for fixing me up doc, but I'm SORT of okay with that. I don't demand that. I however demand that I am treated like a peer when you take 3 hours to do the case and not listen to stupid talk about your mediocre understanding of physiology. It's not just fluids.
Sure prelim medicine was Q4 with social support issues, but I felt like I had equal input maybe since most of attendings at the private hospital knew less than me. And the CRNA issue doesn't help because I don't want to be b#tch just to be one of them 4 years down the road.
I read the BOW YOUR HEAD thread, and found some inspiration. What about the rest of you CA-1s? And CA-3s? And attendings?
Then again, I can't see a place in medicine that offers any degree of real independence. Anybody up for starting a small business 🙄?
