- Anaesthesia as a career . The untold truth.
Intro:
How does it feel if your stuck in a job which your not capable of doing because of your personality. It feels suffocating and at the end of it , you will end up not enjoying your life.
Applying the same logic to anaesthesia, only some personalities would love anaesthesia. We are going to discuss what are the character traits who live anesthesia. If your not having those qualities,it might be risky to take up anesthesia as a career.
Questions:
1. Are you having those character traits which make you live the branch of anesthesiology
2. Are you aware of the dark side or the limitations of the branch
3. Are you aware of the benefits of being an anesthesiologist?
Title:
Who should take up anesthesia as career?
Part 1:
Understanding what is Anesthesia?
Anesthesiology is a branch dealing with the providing unconsciousness to the patient during surgery.
I wouldn’t be doing this video if it’s so simple.
Part 2 :
Problems while providing unconsciousness
While administration of the anaesthesia , patient might develop certain complications like fall in the blood pressure, bleeding which requires massive transfusion, and difficult airway scenario can be there where patients saturation drops and all these events can be dealt but they need a different personality.
Part 3:
Character traits required for becoming a good anaesthesiologist:
1. Being calm and composed during crisis
2. Leader ship during the crisis.
3. Delegation of work in crisis
4. Tech savvy
5. Should be ok with not being famous among public
6. Obsession is mandatory
7. Attention to detail.
8. Smart.
Part 4:
Advantages of branch:
1. Work life balance
2. Fixed timing
3. Switch off
4. Plan your life
5. Anywhere in the world
6. No patient base required
7. Good salary at early part of career
Part 5:
Darker side:
1. Salary scale will reach plateau
2. Medico legal
3. Patient doesn’t recognise your efforts nor the management.
4. Your dependant on the hospital or surgeon for cases, it’s not a revenue generation.
5. Early burnout and high suicide rates.
6. Addiction liability.
7. Experience might not matter after certain years of anaesthesia practice.
8. Supply demand mismatch.
9. Infrastructure lacking.
10. Capex not allocated well compared to other revenue generation departments.
11. Corporate is seeing quantity.
Conclusion:
If you got a feeling that anesthesiology is complicated, it’s true. Its not for Everyone, but if you have the characters which I told, you will love the branch and you will succeed.
Watch my video on how much money anesthesiologist earns in India , link in the description
Thank you
Dr Dheeraj Masapu

I'm really considering going back to school for this. Thank you for this video very informative and helpful.
Thank you.
Amazing video thank you for this
Seems anesthesia is very under appreciated as a medical specialty. After learning about the history of anesthesia and watching your video it makes me feel many hospitals and medical facilities are shooting themselves in the foot by not supporting innovation, tools and invention in this field. It would help make surgery and non surgical procedures safer for all patients and therefore create more money for the facilities as people would trust the procedure..you need more pay for the precision and work you put in.
Things will change soon Teshla Freeman, atleast I hope in the next few years
Thank u so much for showing me the path
Welcome
You are right. It is leadership which should the most important trait in an Anesthesiologist. And it is leadership qualities which should be taught & honed with equal emphasis along with the science. Right from the interaction with the patient and the family in the PAC to intraop management to postoperative care or pain management Anesthesiologists today play the role of a leader being not only an astute clinician, but also knowledgeable & dependendable person on whom the very life of the patient depends. Present day Surgeons and even the Hospital management recognize & respect the vital role of such a leader. It is to this level all of us must elevate ourselves. Surgery is teamwork & I believe the present day surgical experience needs 2 Captains-one for the cutting part and the other for the entire non cutting part!😀
People like you have lead and made a path for juniors like us sir ji . We will continue the legacy and get the branch the status it deserves.
Dr, in my country intensive care specialists came out of anaesthesia and the two specialities diverged in 2000, intensive care is what anaesthesiasts essentially do with their patients when they are unconscious in surgery. Was this the case in India as well? I am very surprised by leadership being such an important trait in an anaesthesiast (which you both agree with) because it seems incongruous with never famous. Finally what reason would a manipulative person have to become an anaesthesiast? My gut tells me that manipulative people are generally drawn towards psychiatry, obgyn, neurology and general medicine, so how do as a writer harmonise these contradictions?
Sir thanks a lot for putting out the truth as it is!
Thank you
Discouraging video for who look forward to take it. I had seen a video from same presenter mentioning that the demand is highbit here it is vise versa.
That was an old video and my perspective towards the speciality is changing after interacting with multiple anesthesiologists
Sir, i think i would disagree is that work life is not balanced for Anaesthesiologist. And we are really underpaid for what we do. Rest other points are bang on!!!!
Thanks for the comment, it will benefit many students.
Sir, for someone interested in Emergency Medicine, where does he/she fit in the spectrum of Critical Care Medicine, given Anaesthesiology and General Medicine already do a lot of the work an EMed Physician would do?
They can't manage icu. Emergency is having good prospects than icu in future
@@DheerajMasapu ty sir.
@@DheerajMasapu in my country anaesthesia and ICU (which you guys call critical care medicine) where once trained the same and anaesthetists trained before 2000 also did ICU medicine. However they diverged because there is just too much to know in both fields. Was this the case in India as well?
Hy sir, all your videos are wonderful, thank you
For Md anesthesia,Which one to choose sir, hospital with more pgs like MMC chennai (fighting for chances) or hospital with less pgs but a good no of patients load like ESI PGI chennai?
Please help
It's better to choose a place where there is a focused training than doing in the so-called top centers according to me.
Sir , the saturation aspect is fearful … and that’s the only point that makes me sceptical about anaesthesia . Is the demand going to decrease that soon ? I am willing to take up anaesthesia this year
This problem is more relevant to other branches than anesthesia, will tell more details in the video I will be doing
@@DheerajMasapu sure sir ..thank u
Sir kindly guide me between Ms opthalmology and MD anaesthesia
I am more interested in anaesthesia but I have gotten seat of Opthal in r1 counselling
Anesthesia is better
MS opthalmology...by all means
What did you end up taking? I'm also confused about the same thing. Anaesthesia and Opthal. Pls help
Sorry disagree with work life balance. We are overworked and under paid .
No switching off after hospital hrs .phone rings at any time and have to attend .stress is very high especially after 10 yrs of experience.
Rest of the video is great.
Thanks for the comment.
There are braches you love and there are branches you hate but most med students have a love hate relationship with anaesthesia. It is an extremely intriguing branch and a bit in the grey zone. Atleast for me.
There is a sign board saying " enter at your own risk".
Haha 100% sir but that is true for the whole medical career.
Yes
Goode evening sir!
I want to take anesthesia this year..but acc.to my rank most likely i will get dnb..so while choosing clg..does it matter its in periphery or not(Is this true more hands on in periphery clg and more of thory/learning in non peripheral clg?)
Take in metros
Please stop background music
Thanks for your feedback
no, don't stop....its chilling and motivating
Thank you A mango man
Thanku sir for this excellent video. Learnt a lot from ur video.
Three questions
1. You are telling about the ceiling of earning....can you please tell us what is this ceiling amount for an anaesthesist in a small town?
2. If i get a fellowship degree in critical care will there still be a ceiling on my earnings?
3. How tough to crack a fellowship of IDCCM or PDCC or FNB? Is it as hard as neet pg?
I will do a video on what next after anesthesia
I dont want to be famous sir but i want to know if it is financially ok ...since nowadays lots of talk about not getting OT as a fresher and high competition and many anesthetist moving to pain management n leaving ot ....in serious confusion sir ...almost time to take my seat
Competition is there buddy, you need to beat it. Go ahead and take it.
@@DheerajMasapuThank you sir for your quick reply ....really appreciate it ! Sir what you told about work life balance and night life for anethetist does not match 😆
Anesthesia work pattern will change as you become senior, more responsibility will get added.
Doctors who take more responsibility will be more successful in their career compared to others
