I love anesthesiology - it's the perfect gig for me. But right now i'm feeling a little unfulfilled for some reason. I've been thinking about doing a brief stint with MSF. But it's a big step which i'm a little scared to take; plus obviously, it won't pay the bills - although i can manage if my commitment would be for only a few weeks and not several months. Anyone of you guys have any personal experience? If so, please share, good or bad. Thnx.

I think they'll do a month if you parlay-voo
according to MSF's website, they will accept anesthesiologists for a minimum of 4-6weeks because of the demand. but i'll check out OS as well, thnx.
i took 5 years of french in HS/college many, many years ago so i'm very rusty and never learned any medical jargon but i'm sure i could brush up...

Has anyone here actually done MSF? It would be totally cool....well, except for the possibly getting raped/kidnapped/blown up by an IED part.
Are they back in Afghanistan? Last I heard they left in a huff about 9 or 10 years ago. If they're back, good for them, I guess. Regardless, I sure as hell wouldn't go to the Middle East without a bunch of friends with guns. Pick another continent, needy people are everywhere.
