I know all medical people hate me for saying this, but I would legalize ALL drugs and ALL medical equipment and technology to be used by ANYONE ON ANYONE.
People should have the libertarian right to perform surgery on themselves if they want. If they are stupid, they die. Just let the stupid ones die. This will VASTLY reduce the world overpopulation and hence the work load to medical personnel in particular.
@mphello LOL. i have heard of a guy who performed a liver resection on himself with no anesthesia, using a kitchen knife, and he actually did a pretty good job!
@mphello I like your way of thinking! You practice? If so, no joke man I really want you as my doc cause seems you actually are using that crazy thing called logic!
@SuperWarking yes, i do practice anesthesiology. my pet peeve is surgeons and administrators who just want to push patients through the "machine"...anesthesiologists and anesthetists are often the ONLY patient advocates who seem concerned with patient safefy, and it is truly frightening to witness! i also take issue with the use of the term "customer" for "patient"...it completely negates the unique physician-patient relationship.
@sleepytimedoc Really? How was MD school? Working on getting in, however, not sure what I want to practice for sure yet. I also agree with your comment with Anethesiologists being more concerned with safety than the money they will get. Honestly, I view yall as the most important person in the OR by far. Yes the surgeon fixes, however, yall essentially control the outcome. Had 6 surgeries and everytime Anethesia did their thing to ensure I woke up so thanks for what you do! :)
@sleepytimedoc I am working on going to med school as well however I decided late in my undergrad so I only have a 3.0 after 2 years. I will definately be getting A's this semester however I will only be able to raise my GPA so much in 2 more years of school. Do you think the best option would be to do graduate school after my degree? I'm not sure what the typical route is for someone in my position.
@littleripper312 I don't think straight A's are 100% necessary. Keep working hard, and see how you do on the MCAT. Medical school admission committees look at you as a whole person, not as numbers. If you have some research experience and volunteer work on your CV, that will also be helpful. I think that medical schools in general are moving away from applicants who are book-smart, but dumb about life. Good luck!
This is seriously an insult to surgeons. The anaesthesiologist or anaesthetist is not superb, period. I applied for anaesthetic training in the UK, was accepted into the training post but turned it down for surgical training! Anaesthetists are well known for reading magazines, shaking legs, smacking nurses bums and talking whole loads of crap in the coffee room. They are a bunch of attention seekers who constantly think other doctors are incompetent. Bollocks!
i wanna come and give anesthesia in the UK!!! i switched from surgery to anesthesia, and it was the BEST move i ever made! anesthesiologists make it possible for surgeons to operate, yet we have to put up with their superiority complexes and nasty attitudes! unfortunately, the above-mentioned stereotype of lazy or unprofessional anesthesia providers is a reality, but there are just as many lazy and unprofessional surgeons. quit taking yourself so seriously, man! life is WAY too short!!!! :-)
Same here in Hungary. As an anaesthesiologist resident I denied the same case, minus the septic component. Night shift is for acute not for elective surgery. Of course he was pissed off, and tried to get me into trouble, but failed in the end. He simply hates me since then, but I can live with that! :P
As a general surgical trainee in the UK, I found this hilarious. God, we probably do sound like this.....'where did you obtain your medical degree'........pure genius! :)
@Zagrosi I am so glad you enjoyed the video...i think it's important for us physicians not to take ourselves too seriously! BTW, I started out as a surgeon, and switched to anesthesiology. Best of luck with your training!
Most funny thing are the comments of anaethesists left here. As a surgeon I always meet anaestesists who try to avoid operations...sorry, only joking.
These vids are great and also fit on the german scene where I work
Scarily close to reality, I must say. Many surgeons are so fixated on doing their case (ie getting paid for it) that they have a tendency to disregard more pressing problems.
If this at all mirrors reality, we have a very serious problem. Any doctor who argues anything like this should lose his license and possibly be brought up on charges.
@fiandrhi actually doctors in different fields disagree on a lot of subjects but no one really argues so even if you did bring one to the court in an attempt to get his / her license revoked and charges pressed on them - the judge would laugh in your face for being an imbecile instead.
As an anesthesiologist for 15 years I can say that this is not a stretch at all. If I had a nickle for every time a surgeon tried to pull something like this on me I would have had enough to retire 5 years ago. Very funny LOL
It's not a stretch. Surgeons will say anything to get their cases done. And when confronted with the patient's medical problems, the typical response is either "It's a short case" and "i wont lose much blood". And that's how you know you are about to embark on an 10 hr bloodbath.
Bloody great. As a British Hernia Society Board member I would like to show you video at a forthcoming meeting that I am running in London at the Royal Society of Medicine.
