That's My Future Career I Already Knoe What To Do And They Make Half A Million A Year ALot Of Mooney...

[kittybookitty]

I don't understand people's obsession with money here. I'd rather have a Dr. who cares more about making sure his patients are safe than a moron who got into the field just so he could drive a BMW.

People are so fucking money hungry. I hope these kids chasing money realize the hours they're going to have to put in and the fact that they need to LOVE what they're doing. Otherwise they'll be miserable.

@kittybookitty

Money is never going to be enough for those guys to finish med school, and acualy be a doctor.

[aeew]

@cpmc1 But it really helps when the studying gets overwhelming :P

[yeahgirl11]

a brain doctor is the one that makes the most money out of all. ( anesthesiology, surgery/ general, etc.)

@ fanofjapanandmusic.

neurosurgery salary is quite high umm

i believe my dad works for an ear nose and throat dr and they make near maybe alittle more then an anesthesiologist, but overall anesthesiology is the only specialty that i can think of that is high paying.

[jerseyyy21]

@ saucebiotch.

in high school you need to be taking as many high level science and math courses as you can handle. ur gpa in high school should be high although medical schools rarely look at your high school transcripts they instead look at your college transcript. so in college you want your gpa to be atleast a 3.75 or higher

[Swimboy0624]

with a name like saucebiotch i dont think ur getting into any school lol

[jerseyyy21]

my dad is an anesthesiologist, hes says its rewarding but highly competitve to enter a residency program. hours are NOT 9 to 5 mon to fri. hes on call on his days off and most of the time gets a call. salary is amazing, almost to high lol. excellent career , so study real hard if it is truely what you want to do.

[kittybookitty]

@jerseyyy21 - are you gonna follow in your dad's footsteps?

[lonewolf1513]

Just to let you guys know an Anesthesiologist can also be a D.O. (still physician). I thought i rep it since i'm gonna be one. Also i would love to get into pain management specifically.

[ASAGrassrootsNetwork]

Nicely done video. Anesthesiologists provide the lifeline of modern medicine!

[jerryjohnston2009]

Great video; it emphasises that an anesthesiologist is a physician (MD) not a nurse (CRNA). If money is your primary consideration, reconsider becoming a physician. For the number of hours that you spend in school, internship, residency and the number of hours that you will eventually work per week, there are many jobs that will pay you more.

[Cehszar]

I agree 100%

[Skankineddie666]

What other job would pay more?!?!?

[fanofjapanandmusic]

can you expand on what kind of careers pays more?

[nikewarrior24]

You Got that right! lol

[busdude1989]

NO WAMMYS!!!

[powerfulpowerzz]

do u need to know a lot of math to do this?

[NONSTEMI]

well it's really not easy, quite challenging actually, you have to know a lot about head and neck anatomy, all physiology, all of pharmacology, internal medicine, pediatrics, quite a lot about surgery, and be manually skilled. hours depend upon the policy of the hospital, but usually are not all that good, depending on your job descript, do you cover ICU as well, ED, trauma team, besides the OR

[slayerkid0196]

Do nuerosurgeons need an MD or DO?

[jege1885]

Is anesthesiology easy? I mean, its just technical right? What are the hours like? Thanks.

[kalkoenietje]

No it's not easy! Besides the fact that once a patient is under, you have his life in your hands, it's not just about technical skills. Every patient is different, requires different meds, different dosage, etc...
