Anesthesiologists Job Description

[00mustangdude]

As of two days ago, I plan on being an anesthesiologist. I have three friends who are going to go to college for it and are set on it too. I am fifteen and am a sophomore in High school. I haven't got a perfect GPA, my averages were 94, Math, 93, Honors English , 98, Chorus, 99,World History last year for my classes. I literally try as hard as I can. Is there anything else I can do to help me get accepted to UNC? I graduate in 2013, so I have a little time to improve myself. Thanks.

CRNAs are well trained. they do not have a MD but sooner or later CRNAs will be taking over. They are in hospitals, surgery centers, dentist offices. They are well trained and they do just as good of a job as an anesthesiologist. Pretty soon the Anesthesiologist will be the boss and all the CRNAs will be working the floor! But I am pretty sure they wouldn't be certified if they didnt have knowledge of what went on!!!

[goex2f]

If you need anesthesia, get an anesthesiologist, not a CRNA......nurses aren't anesthesiologists, but the screwed up system in the USA lets CRNA's masquerade as anesthesiologists, misleading patients and possibly doing real harm. I had a bad CRNA and she almost killed me. Why all the talk of money? If money is your primary motivation, forget most anything medical.

@goex2f well said

[huntercross14]

500,000k/ month , Anesthesiologists all the way:D

[yoguey]

yeah right!!!

thats not true

they's retire after a few years and we wouln't have any

[Michael326]

It's a very rewarding career, indeed. Though it takes a lot of work, determination, and perseverance.

There's a reason why Medical School is so expensive y'know. :P

[covmatak]

My aunt is an Anesthesiologist in Japan and she's loaded, but i can't see myself going into any medical profession.

[FrederiqueValerio]

The nurse stays by the patient alone by Asa klasse I and II maybe III. The anesthesiologist has then a two table system. If u stay in ASa klasse IV or higher its better to have your own Anesthesiologist. And always for child, cardio, neuro, trauma, obstretic and major operations.

[FrederiqueValerio]

hmm strange in the Netherlands a Anesthesiologist performs the anesthesia. To become an Anesthesiologist you have to study 11 years. 6 years medicine and 5 years anesthesiology. In order to become an intensivist, the doctor must first complete training in a base specialty such as Internal Medicine, Anesthesia or ...

The fellowship is 2 two years.

[jbcarlso]

except you may have a glorified nurse performing your anesthesia. make sure to ask if an actual MD is going to perform the anesthesia.

[ekherd]

That's BS my friend. MDs make more money for the exact same job that a CRNA does. Ologists just have to go to school longer. There are bad and good on both ends. I have seen some bad ologists that are worse practitioners than CRNAs by a long shot.

[s99nj]

CRNA's are a joke, AA's are the best. CRNA's don't know jack about human physiology.

[ekherd]

That is BS also. I have had tons of physiology and patho. Not all MDs know their physiology. Just like any other profession, there are good and bad in both. I guarantee you I know a couple CRNAs that would blow an MD out of the water. They are PhD CRNAs.

[s99nj]

Notice I mentioned nothing about MD's.....another CRNA shill on youtube, typical. CRNA's with 10+ years of experience are gonna be good at their job. Year 1, they don't know shiat, but act like they just got their MD. I always turn away CRNA's because they are incompetent.

[ekherd]

I can tell you are ignorant. Not worth the time to even debate with. Go back to pushing your propofol.

[yoguey]

what do u know?

[videozown]

ive been intrested in this job since like 5th grade im now in 9th and i still want to make this my career

[badxradxandy]

It's not about the money. It's never about the money. If every job paid the same rate, I would still pick this. I love anesthesia.

[pevspaintballer]

yeah

but u can be in the hospital at anytime

besides if the screw up,the patient dies...or worst
