Hello,
I'm asking a somewhat strange question - how physically demanding is anesthesiology?
When I first started medical school, I was planning to do a surgical specialty but always had gas as an alternative route. While I recently did well on my board exam, I was diagnosed with a condition that limits the amount of time I can stand up without moving (hence ruling out any surgical specialties). Therefore, I have shifted my focus to anesthesia - however, I wanted to know from the trenches how it was. Thank you.
