Being an anesthesiologist is physically and mentally exhausting1 min read

There’s a stereotype that anesthesiologists are hiding behind the drapes trading stocks or doing sudoku puzzles, but that’s certainly not the reality of my job! I think it’s so important to share what the reality of the job is like and one reality of being an anesthesiologist is that it can be physically and mentally exhausting. Here are some of the reasons that contribute to this:

  1. Covering multiple ORs w/sick patients 
  2. Having to take call 
  3. Unpredictability/feeling like there’s no control of your schedule 

I cover these three things in my newest Youtube video!
