Anesthesiology probably pays pretty good to boot.
lol, i had to get on with my life after Quake 3 ate up so much of it :D
At this moment I feel like staying in the academic hospital, combining scientific research and my specialisation. It doesn't pay that well, but the academical setting is much more interesting.

If you have brains it isn't that hard. It does require a lot of effort and dedication though. Plus it isn't just a job, it's your life (ask Geebs)

GG sat, didn't know you wanted to be a gas passer. I find it odd that you say you won't be making much money, anesthesiology is one of the higher paid specialties in the US.

That's cause I'll be a resident/anesthesiology trainee for 5 years till I'm a specialist. Then who knows.

Analgetics are quite important during operations. Otherwise patients' bodies will react on the surgery with hormonal/(para)sympathetic changes what can make the narcose/operation much more difficult.
You masochist :p

We have an Irish female anesthesiologist here, Ealish or something. Nice purdy red hair and no Irish accent at all, she's quite smart :icon28:

its good that you enjoy it....too bad i never really did
went 3 years with a biochem major trying to become something i didnt really want to be but peer pressure got me. If you dont become some big shot doctor or lawyer with the grades i got in high school, then you underachieved and wasted your life by default.

Must be around the 3rd-4th year in medical school that was totally lacking motivation. You get those boring powerpoint lectures you don't care about in huge darkened collegeroom so you're garanteed to fall asleep. But doing my field internship at all kinds of specialisms and dealing with real patients refueled my interest and motivation.

Doesn't matter if you have good grades, if you don't chose something you really like, you'll end up being miserable and start posting on quake3world all day :p

lol i didnt even survive 3rd year undergrad. I should have known better that getting a science degree wouldnt be like the relatively simple tests in high school that were pretty much by the numbers vocab tests. But even after i recovered from the shell shock and even got some pretty impressive grades in O-chemistry and microbio, i realized that if i didnt get out of it, i would end up with a biochem degree with absolutely no stomach to continue to graduate school and no idea what do next in life.
