Perspectives
Being an anesthesiologist has many benefits that draw people too it as a career. Many who currently practice enjoy the open schedule that allows for a life outside of work so they can spend time at home with their families.In an article titled "Anesthesiology's Allure" by Carolyn Schierhorn she quotes Barbara Dougherty talking about how she enjoys the fact that she is either on call or at work and when shes not doing either shes not being called at all. Due to this and the varying places where anesthesiologist can work it is possible for some to have more consistent hours which is sometimes a rare thing in the medical field for some positions. It is warned. however, that there is high rate of opiate abuse since they do have such easy access to narcotics. Another aspect of the job that those who practice see is the faced past setting an atmosphere that attracts most of those who practice. Mike Green is quoted later on mentioned how they are "watching the changes in real time." Many enjoy the fast paced atmosphere and having to think quick if something goes wrong and having the responsibility of helping to keep the patient alive. They enjoy the excitement that it provides and they love seeing their patients recover after the procedure and seeing what their hard work accomplished. Due to all this many anesthesiologist tend to enjoy the job for its rush of excitement followed by their time off at home to relax with their families and not having to constantly be on call.
