Personal Narrative-Anesthesia While Shadowing Dr. Bohman

90 Words1 Page

I was able to shadow Dr. Bohman on several occasions and witness a multitude of procedures. anesthesia is an interesting field, half the time you’re checking on patients, giving nerve blocks, and the other half you’re watching a monitor and checking vitals; add to it the on-call hours and you’ve got a job that requires a lot of dedication. The only downside at least from the perspective of an observer is that often you do not get to see what’s going on because the of the sheet they pin up.

    You have to get to know the patient before the surgery and you meet with them after the surgery has concluded. You get to know them so you know what type of anesthetic and how much of it to get the patient asleep and numb to the pain for the entire duration of the surgery. You have to be careful because this is also a very dangerous job because you could kill the patient if you administer too much drugs not to mention the fact that you could get sued for killing the patient and lose everything including your nursing license forever. Then you would never be able to be a surgeon or any related field again especially anesthesiologist you would be lucky to get a job at McDonald's because you killed someone.
