The anesthesiologist is the right ventricle of the OR. Quiet and important. While the surgeon may be big and boisterous like the left ventricle, when he fails, there are many things that can be done to fix the situation. Inotropes, filling etc will help the failing left ventricle. However, if the right ventricle fails, it is a much more difficult situation and sometimes only ECMO can save the patient. So when the anesthesiologist is failing, it is a much more dire situation.
To have a good functional brain 🧠 one must have a good and functional heart . So my conclusion for the ones who want to understand this metaphor, is that You must have the brains to understand the science And the heart to understand the patient .
Thank you for another great video. BTW- question on my exam for the 1st degree of specialization in anesthesiology 30 years ago- Cardiovascular monitoring. Answer- The most important monitoring is the smart anesthesiologist :) True, but now I would have too much humility to answer that. Regards.
I wish I had what it took, but fortunately I have time to try and obtain these qualities!! (I’m in middle school). Hopefully I’ll be fitting in all these categories once I am a junior. So far I’d say i have 3/5… but just because I can’t do it now doesn’t mean I won’t be able to in the future. Thanks, this motivated me a lot!! ❤
Of course! It takes time to be a pro at all these. Don't give up, study hard and try gaining as much experience as you can. We wish you a lot of success.
Couple of days ago a surgeon said to me " In theater I'm a fighter and a fighter needs his back to be protected and the more I trust the anesthesiologist the more my back is protected in the battle ". And what he said is the truth ...
We are the ones who actually require an AI to assist in our work with the amount of information being fed from the patient, the monitors , the ventilator, syringe pumps etc and when something goes wrong we only get a few minutes to figure out the problem. But the adrenaline rush is unparalled❤
Very good points Doctor. You could probably add Communication in your group of 5 traits. And after 22 years of practicing anesthesia. the stress, commitment and care have evaporated and because it's such a critical factor, it's time someone else take my place. God Bless
One must have the brains 🧠 to understand the science And the heart ❤️ to understand the patient. And a good and functional heart will keep a good and functional brain. So the heart is Essential finally.

Damn that's a true medical analogy 👍
Lol damn that is quite true

Totally agree! Greetings and thank you for watching!
Good one. Totally agree.
Everything you said is true. Proud to be an anesthesiologist
I would add "continence", as I am often required to hold a full coffee bladder for many many hours.

Proud to be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST 😊
Wow I am really impressed on the work of anesthesiologists.
I want to become one of you with the help of God. Keep up the good work dear!!
What about compassion? From an anaesthetist (that is I work and live in an anglophone part of the world).
