hello,i am just curious and need some enlighten to see if my purpose and imagination about being an anesthesiologist is already right 🙂:
1. why do you choose to be an anesthesiologist? what so special about it that put it as your final decision for taking residency?
2. i am interested in anesthesia because it give us good income( at least in my country), love the science in the anesthesia, and it is a combined hand skilled (practice) and theory science (50:50) ,so i think it is a lot easier for me because i am quiet weak for remembering all of the drugs in internal medicine..😛 is my thinking is right?
thx for the answers,
warm regards, Ketap🙂

you can't remember the drugs in IM and think there will be less drugs in Anesthesia?? have you done an anesthesia rotation yet? you should do one before making up your mind. it might be the exact opposite of what you'd hope fore.

ohh an lastly you don't choose Anesthesia... Anesthesia chooses you!

it is the difficult cases you have got to love - making THE CALLS that make the difference in someone's life. actually, that applies to all cases, not just the complicated ones.

did you start that IV without the patient even flinching? did they fall asleep relaxed and confident? did they wake up smoothly with least possible pain? did you communicate and reassure them? did you take some time to talk and reassure family?

IT MATTERS.

hi, all thx for the replies..first of all, sorry for doubling the same post with 2 different theme..i actually tried to delete one of theme,but i can't find the delete button..what can i do is only edit the post but no delete options available😕..so, sorry for my mistake, i never actually meant it...🙁

btw, Jeff, wow,amazing..i actually think about all of that too, to provide a comfort to the patient is always being my interest and that is why i am thinking of anesthesia as my future education..thx for the answer

RussianJoo; hi, thx for the reply🙂, and yes, i have my rotation in anesthesia..but in my country, in my rotation, i found that less drugs in IM than in the anesthesia ..sure, there a lots of drugs for preop medication and in the ICU, but i didn't found much drugs used as in the IM and as far as i know, IM also handle ICU, so i do think they learn a lot more drugs than in anesthesia...if my thinking is wrong, please tell me ,why did you said that there is more drugs in anesthesia..Thx u 🙂

in your original post you said that you didn't want to go into IM because there are too many drugs to remember but now you're saying that there are more drugs to remember in anesthesia?

anesthesiologists might use less drugs.. but the knowledge about the action, interaction and side effect potential of those drugs still has to be mastered.. just because you only work with a handful of drugs doesn't mean you can ignore all the other medications that your patient is on and think there won't be any interactions.. you have to be aware of everything.

Just for you to consider, but we have to know most what internists know about the drugs. Their patients become our patients and we have to know the anesthetic implications of those drugs (which internists have no idea of).
