Question #2: What do you think this the most interesting part of an anesthesiologist job?

“ For me, the most interesting job is their knowledge on the various types of medications and how they can be combined and integrated to match the physical and sensation needs of a patient. For example, the anesthesiologists have medication to control blood pressure, called

vaso

dilation and constriction. The patients loss of sensation and being able to keep them alive with medications is all very fascinating.”Slide8
