>>12407684so untrue, in Europe most of anesthesiologist have the double competence with critical care, but i'll never understand why so much people thinks it's so lame to be just anesthesiologist
1. No making decision -> most of the time you don't have to take one (and it's why it's anesthesia is safe) but do you really take a decision when you're prescriving aspirin ? Probably not
2. Yeah lame drugs as epinephrin, bupivacain, ketamin -> it's great in fact. But yeah you still can masturbate on anti IL6 if you want
3. No contact with the patient -> consultation, post operative pain, epidural and woman in labor
4. This point is kind of true if you forget pharmacology, echography guided analgesia, physiology, ventilation, nephrology, hemodynamics
5. Yes of cours, just a "few basic" procedures that's why we have such big books about anesthesia
6. It depends really for my part i spare my time between operating room, critical care unit and maternity.
"Ah yes it's so cool to prescribe some apixaban to miss Denzel who can't walk since ten years and is having a flu, what's the name of her cat ?" when you could be richer, doing cooler stuff and still don't give a fuck about the pet's name
