7 reasons I love being a critical care anesthesiologist1 min read

Today’s inane image of the day:

Did you know that anesthesiologists can also get extra fellowship training to work as ICU doctors [also known as “intensivists”]? In this video, I share with you why the marriage of anesthesia and critical care makes sense.

Those 7 reasons I love about my job as a critical care anesthesiologist:

  • 📌 Continuity of care
  • 📌 Diversity in working environments
  • 📌 Opportunities to learn from team members
  • 📌 Opportunities to teach
  • 📌 Critical care experience readily translates to the OR
  • 📌 Freedom to drink coffee ☕️ and pee [yes, this is a big deal because in the OR we cannot just walk out on an anesthetized patient]
  • 📌 Contributing to care of pandemic patients What do you think of these reasons?

Make sure to watch the video to find out the details of why each thing matters to me!
