Patrick, Yes, I do this for a living. Some people joke that we anesthesiologists pass gas for a living, but I prefer to say I keep people safe and comfortable while they nap instead. Had a nicer ring to it.
It's interesting to hear about your insurance program. I'm only recently out of residency training so now I have to worry about which insurance folks have and all the billing issues. Billing and insurance are by far the things I like least about practicing medicine, and many physicians will tell you the exact same thing. Finally, thank you for saying thanks. Most often an anesthesiologist's job is a thankless one because we transfer our patients to recovery and then must leave before the patient is awake enough to remember to say thanks. Happily most anesthesiologists have the type of personality that doesn't need the spotlight all the time. I am perfectly happy to sit at the head of the OR table quietly and attentively caring for my patients without fanfare and whatnot. So... Thank you! Do you have any bike (or other) projects you have been meaning to get around to? Maybe now's your chance, right? :) -Aaron > @ Aaron -- You do this to people for a living? Grin.
