What really goes on behind the ether screen aka "the blood/brain barrier" posted recently in the pain forum

PS- To any surgeons lurking out there, don't ever fu*&ing say "anesthesia raise the table again" look up and acknowledge the fellow physician there, who may have kicked your as# all through medical school and say DR XYZ please raise the table. Trust me, anesthesiologist can be VERY passive aggressive, your cases may be delayed, their lab is abnormal, they took a sip of water 2 hours ago, the EKG looks funny, wait I hear a murmur, she needs cardiac clearance. Yelling at the anesthesiologist is as stupid as yelling at your wife, especially if she is from the south, she may nothing, even smile but what she is thinking is "you just wait you SOB I will burn you in your bed." Southern girls are raised to be pleasant, smiling, and charming at al times, even when they are planning a homicide, similar to hospital based physicians, both lack overt power but boy are they passive aggressive. Trust me, you will rue the day that you pick a fight will a hospital based physician, or a southern belle.

"don't ever fu*&ing say "anesthesia raise the table again" look up and acknowledge the fellow physician there,"

I will say "table up" all I want. I am not going to take my eyes off the surgical field just so I can check and see if there is actually a physician present. 98% of the time I will be addressing a CRNA who's name I won't know. When the drapes are up, you can't see who's there anyway. There is nothing rude about saying "table up" unless you make it so in your crazy head.

who may have kicked your as# all through medical school

I don't base my respect on how well someone's medical school performance. My respect is earned by how self-sacrificing and hard someone works...this is certainly not anesthesia. Just to add to your animosity, anesthesia is hardly in a position to talk about how well they did in medical school when talking to surgical specialties.

"Trust me, anesthesiologist can be VERY passive aggressive,"

Its nice to know how petty you and your colleagues are. Personally, I would be very embarrassed to admit this. Surgical delays are not just inconvenient for the surgeon, but they lose the hospital money and are inconvenient for the patient and their families. I would also like to point out that if you are practicing at a surgery center/boutique hospital, you would just be shooting yourself in the foot because the anesthesiologist stays until the last case is done.

"she may nothing, even smile but what she is thinking is "you just wait you SOB I will burn you in your bed." Southern girls are raised to be pleasant, smiling, and charming at al times, even when they are planning a homicide"

Crazy much?

I couldn't tell you the last time an anesthesiologist was there for anything but induction so, "table up" or in my case "table down" it is.

HAHAHA. What a laugh. You lazy ****s switch places every 20 minutes so you can all get your break time. How can we possibly keep up with who's back behind the "ether screen."

If the patient's vitals just got a little wonky and they think it might be something I'm doing, the anesthesiologist or CRNA isn't going to look over the drape and say "Dr. dpmd, could you please stop doing that thing with your hand right there so I can see if that is causing things". They are going to announce that the heart rate did X all of a sudden, or the BP did Y. They may even say "are you doing something" or I will volunteer that I am doing ABC that may be causing it and I will be done in a moment (or will stop immediately if needed). I don't require being addressed by name because my ego isn't wrapped up in being addressed as Dr. dpmd. So when I ask for the table up or down, I am not trying to insult you by not saying your name. It is pretty much that I want the table to move and I don't care who is going to do it (you, or your relief, or your CRNA, or the circulator who is handling things while you are on the phone/computer/toilet).
