Abstract
If your favorite place in the world is the operating room, be a surgeon. If your favorite place in the hospital is the operating room, be an anesthesiologist. For many, the practice of anesthesiology is the perfect blend of science, medical management, procedural skills, variety, and fun. Where else can you care for critically ill patients, listen to music, socialize with surgeons, and wear your pajamas all at the same time?
For maximum impact, it is recommended that the case study and questions found on page xvii are reviewed before reading this chapter.
