Preparing for residancy

Hi people

l'm in last few months of med school, and sometimes this summer will begin my anaesthesia residency, officially called anaesthesiology, resuscitation, ICU and pain med 😀 eventhough my max education in pain will last up to 6 months, l think, during residency.
anyways, l wanted to ask you about literature that l have: Baby Miller, Atlee Complication in anesthesia, and Fleisher EB practice of anesthesiology.
bear in mind that this programme is not so strictly definitive considering the schedule, so l can sombine in different ways, with some limitations of course. Also approx after 6 months of programme, l'll be on my own for "easier" cases,not under direct supervision of attending, but always being able to get one in minute or two.

so will this suffice and up to which level of providing anesthesia is this ok?

thanks ya'all in advance for advises and stuff....

Guessing by "anaesthesia" and "programme", and by how it seems that English, although certainly legible, is not your first language, I'm thinking you're not in the US. I mention this because I don't know many residents/attendings not in the US that are on SDN.

you're right, english is not my first language, but it would be wrong to make such presumtion based on programme and anaesthesia, due to fact that certain country called UK uses that exact version 😀
but nevertheless, can you provide some advise?

I'm not the best person, b/c I do A&E (err..."casualty").

Hello,

Baby Miller and Morgan-Mikhail are good books because they show you the minimum common denominator, that is, the minimum you need to know to be an anesthesiologist. I always recommend them, kind of as a tool to test yourself, so that if you don't know the Baby Miller or the Morgan-Mikhail almost by heart, you can tell yourself that you don't know enough and need to study more. Both of them are very good, accurate and trustworthy.

The other books you mention are very good as well, but they have only selected issues treated from a limited perspective.

Of course, if anesthesiology is going to be your lifetime career, your goal should be to read and know the big Miller or the big Barash, or both.

l have M&M as well.

How do you make decision which one to buy? Miller or Barash? What's the big difference among the two?
Also, what book on Pain should you recommend to begin with?
