I'll say it again, I really appreciate you anesthesia folks and your Versed (and other drugs, too, I suppose, but after the Versed, who the heck cares?), though thankfully I've only rarely required your services.ShrinkingDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10867808515747730556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-45542277784047142852010-02-24T15:20:55.536-05:002010-02-24T15:20:55.536-05:00Beautiful!

You're right that a job ...T, that was awesome. You're right that a job well done in anesthesia means not calling attention to yourself. Normally the only time we get any acknowledgement is if there is an (alleged) anesthetic complication. In theater, we're like the stage managers. The stars on stage get all the accolades but without competent managers, the whole production would fall apart.ZMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876493062800336177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-2657570091395159682010-02-22T11:40:58.978-05:002010-02-22T11:40:58.978-05:00so truly said...you really are a good human being....so truly said...you really are a good human being...i believe what every anesthesiologist should aspire for.dipteshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868644159187663783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-48662534699073967602010-02-22T11:02:11.139-05:002010-02-22T11:02:11.139-05:00T.- the feeling is mutual!

I have to tell you, I have liked every anesthesiologist I've ever had (with the exception of one and I've had 5 surgeries). I never take for granted what you do, but I didn't realize how extremely thoughtful you have to be in the whole process. It's comforting to know that you care for each of your patients so well. Oh, and in case you are wondering about the one I didn't like so much...<br /> I had a somnoplasty and an UPPP procedure. Normally, when I come to after a surgery, I never see my anesthesiologist. This one was waiting for me to wake up...waiting to tell me I threw up blood all over him during the surgery. Obviously I couldn't speak very well and I was a bit woozy, but I apologized (on a piece of paper he gave me) anyway and he left. I thought to myself later,"Why did I apologize?? I wasn't even concious." I felt bad about it and a little embarassed even though I don't remember it. I am still thankful that he was able to keep me unconcious though.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717571306196215906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-23174071114673137112010-02-21T22:49:21.700-05:002010-02-21T22:49:21.700-05:00Varsha - thanks for the well-wishes!

It is a beautiful thing, especially in a complicated patient like that! I love hearing you describe it. Bravo to you for reaching a new level of internal satisfaction- I'm still constantly annoyed at how little people understand of what we do, even other doctors. Get this- I had a nurse the other day ask me how long my liver transplant case went, and when I told her 11 hours (40 units PRBC, 43 FFP, 5 platelets, Factor VII, VF arrest x 2)- she asked me, "Wow, so you just like, sat there the whole time?" The problem is that there is really no way to win in this situation- if you over react, you come off as a jerk. Sigh. At least YOU know that I didn't just sit there all day, right!?Mommydoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953938723993076735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628616877664827988.post-19238254166173560932010-02-21T08:40:50.358-05:002010-02-21T08:40:50.358-05:00good! wish you more such moments of satisfactiongood! wish you more such moments of satisfactionVarshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363856608464395085noreply@blogger.com
