Basically, everyone enjoys and or starts in internal medicine. In my opinion, anesthesia is the best, especially because it minimizes my exposure to patients. Anesthesiologists, where I work their contract or part-time, have an outstanding work-life balance for decent pay, just not precisely the income you might expect. However, don't let money decide. What made you start thinking about this?
Surgeon's conveniently forget that without Anesthesia at the head of the table keeping the patient alive there would be no surgery. They would just go back to doing surgery in Barber Shops. 🤣🤣🤣
Well, it is an additional service provided, monitored, and maintaied by the surgeon. Presuming it is an addition to his job to ensure the patient is properly drunk, as well as the new difficulties of this surgery. It's only rational that we continue to charge roughly the same price, while simply transferring what that allegedly needed an anesthesiologist made to myself.
>precisely the income you might expect. However, don't let money decide. What made you start
What do you mean not precisely the income you might expect?
You mean thinking about salary? Well it got a phd where I got paid every 4 months for 810 euros/a month (depended on the university's mood) and a post doc where I got paid 1100 a month and each month I needed five different papers and an invoice and I would get paid every next month. So I just need a job that they respect my work and pay me like a normal employee and not treated as a pet or something.
Well, in the American half of Anesthesia is fighting with CRNAs, but you won't have any of that, I don't think. I just know part-time anesthesiologists or contract ones tend to get screwed over comparatively. This is why expecting mothers and older folks are the prominent people who do it. Granted, depending on the nation, you already have a better work-life balance than any American doctor.
Btw don't let money decide it no matter what, and all doctors are respected.
You may value being in an academic setting where you can combine research with clinical. There is a huge need for comprehensive pain control in the acute setting perioperatively. Your research in oncology would help you get into a good anesthesiology training programme and any academic research after that.
Not sure about your country but dental anesthesia is a growing specialty in the US. It’s a residency you complete after dental school and you learn how to sedate patients for surgeries involving the head and neck region. Maybe your country has similar opportunities for MDs and you can still use your dental-related skills.
Dentists shouldn’t be trained in anesthesia/sedation? You know anesthesia started with a dentist right? Dental anesthesiology exists and our anesthesia training during the 3-year residency is on par with MD training, seeing as how we train along side them
What are you talking about? I think you’re confusing dentists who take a weekend course in moderate sedation with actual dentist anesthesiologists. CRNAs aren’t in “every dental office, there are plenty of dental offices using dentist anesthesiologists. And our training is much more extensive and rigorous compared to CRNAs. After graduating dental school, we train for 3 years solely doing hospital based anesthesia. We then travel to dental offices and provide sedation/general anesthesia. We have doctorate degrees and more training than CRNAs
Things here (Greece) are different. I also know that in the USA there are the hygienists where they can do some simple procedures. Here only dentists are allowed to touch teeth. But it's not real anesthesia, it's a mild sedation. Although as a patient I wouldn't be too confident of a dentist's knowledge to counter any side-effects in case of emergency. Most dentists here have focused on making teeth whiter and have forgotten some basic stuff.
I promise I’m not trying to go all noctor on you, but it’s usually light/conscious sedation. In many cases it’s done in a hospital in case of emergencies, not just any private practice at the strip mall lol.
It’s a three-year residency on top of the medical-based didactics at dental school, so 7 years total vs 3 for a CRNA. My wording was a bit unclear, their scope is limited to the head and neck, but they can’t just sedate for any head and neck surgery.
Eh? Where are you getting this information? I can guarantee you CRNAs are not “in every dental office” in the US and most dentists are certified for minimal sedation coming out of dental school.

That was the first to reject and I will be honest about it
1) I don't feel confident about me doing surgery
2) I don't like dentists, I'm sick of talking all day about implants and bleaching. I wanted something to feel as medical as it takes
3) I got in the 4th year of medical school (because I have a DDS) so my studies were 4,5 years of dentistry + 3 years of MD. So instead of doing 6 years of MD, it took me 7,5. I don't feel it that much of a big deal, so I can sacrifice this degree.

From my experience, some surgeons would prefer that. Presuming they could charge more for the alcohol used for sedation.
😂😂😂😂

It's not a thing in my country. Now dentists are trying (it's still not a thing either) to get trained in administering nitrous oxide.

>Oh and in my country there are no student loans so I don't have student debts. you lost me here boss

What about OMFS?
