So we have to build that relationship very quickly. We need to establish trust. We need to be very honest about what’s going to happen. We need to establish a rapport so that they feel comfortable with us. And it is intense. It is a very intense relationship. And then, post-op, you’re there with the patient when they’re waking up. They’re disoriented. They’re confused. They’re in pain. They’re scared. You’re there for that whole process.

SN: What do you wish people understood better about your job?

Vinson: I wish that people understood the complexity and the breadth of what we do. It’s not just putting someone to sleep. It’s not just about making sure that they wake up. It’s about making sure that they’re safe during the whole process and that they have the best possible outcome. And I wish that people understood that we are advocates for them. We are your advocates when you’re asleep. We are your voice when you can’t speak for yourself.

SN: Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Vinson: We are the only ones who are there from the beginning until the end. I think that that is something that is often overlooked. We’re the only ones who are with you. We see you when you first come in. We see you when you’re asleep. We see you when you’re waking up. And I think that that continuity of care is something that we really pride ourselves on.

Patel: I think it’s important to realize that we are there for the patients. We are there to make sure that they are safe, that they are comfortable, that they are not in pain. And we are there to make sure that their surgery goes as smoothly as possible. And that’s our main goal.

Overall, the work of anesthesiologists is crucial to ensuring the safety and well-being of patients undergoing surgery. Their role goes beyond just administering anesthesia; they are responsible for monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and ensuring a smooth surgical experience. The recent controversy over time limits on anesthesia care payments highlights the importance of recognizing and supporting the vital work of anesthesiologists in healthcare.

An anesthesiologist’s role in the operating room is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of patients undergoing surgery. With only five to ten minutes to have a focused conversation with the patient before administering anesthesia, it is important to explain the process and earn their trust to take over control of their body functions during surgery. This moment is a tremendous display of trust from the patient towards the anesthesiologist.

One specific patient interaction that exemplifies the responsibilities of an anesthesiologist involved a woman who required emergency surgery due to a blood clot in her lungs. The situation was urgent, as the clot could potentially affect blood flow to her heart. In this high-stress scenario, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Patel, had to act quickly and delicately to ensure the patient’s safety.

Despite the urgency of the situation, Dr. Patel took the time to reassure the patient and explain the anesthesia process. He also went the extra mile by asking her what music she wanted to listen to during the surgery. The patient requested music by Yanni, a keyboardist, which helped her relax and zone out during the procedure. Dr. Patel also held her hand, providing a human touch and comfort in a stressful environment.

After the surgery, the patient expressed her gratitude towards Dr. Patel for his compassionate and personalized care. She appreciated his presence and support, highlighting the importance of treating patients as individuals rather than just medical cases.

This story underscores the critical role of anesthesiologists in not only administering anesthesia but also in providing emotional support and reassurance to patients during what can be a frightening and vulnerable time. Building trust and establishing a connection with patients is essential in ensuring a positive surgical experience. Dr. Patel’s compassionate approach exemplifies the dedication and empathy that anesthesiologists bring to their work, making a difference in the lives of patients every day.
