Today’s inane image of the day:
During a talk I gave recently to an anesthesia department about social media for use by medical professionals, I used the example of typing into Google: “Are anesthesiologists…” and allowing the predictive text to fill in the rest. The FIRST response on Google is: “Are anesthesiologists doctors?” which I used as a demonstration that we [as anesthesiologists] need to do a better job with letting the public know our role in the surgical team.
But for those of you wondering… yes, the term anesthesiologist typically refers to a medical doctor that has completed college [4 years], medical school [4 years], anesthesia residency [4 years], and sometimes extra fellowship training [1 year].
In this video, I cover the top questions asked on Google about anesthesiologists including:
▸ Are anesthesiologists doctors/MDs/physicians?
▸ Are anesthesiologists happy?
▸ Are anesthesiologists rich?
▸ Are anesthesiologists in demand?
▸ Are anesthesiologists surgeons?
▸ Are anesthesiologists respected?
