Replies m2k Posted at 4:49 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 id say surgeon. both would be tough, but i think surgeons needs a much bigger understanding of parts of the body and what to do if anything goes wrong dramaqueenxoxo Posted at 4:46 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Anesthetist, I remember reading that way more can go wrong at their hands, than at the surgeon's hands. RedNoir Posted at 4:46 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Anesthetist, because you must really know what you are doing. The wrong dosage could mess every thing up. Too little, and you risk the patient waking up during the procedure and freaking out. Too much, and the patient could die. namefake3 Posted at 4:45 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 4:43 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 They both have their difficulties. My dad's a consultant anaesthetist, so I know the sort of stuff he deals with, and while it may not be as physically demanding (you're not the one cutting open the patient) they still have stress to deal with. They need to make sure the right dosage of anaesthetic is given so that they won't die but won't be awake, look out for the patients vitals and monitor their conditions, etc. Surgeons have to make sure that they don't fuck anything up with the patient and make sure they stay alive. rich boi CherryxBomb Posted at 4:43 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 well i chose surgeon because an anesthetist is the person who administers anesthesia (that stuff which lets you fall asleep during surgery). surgeons on the other hand actually perform the surgery, so they do more difficult work. marshmellowman Posted at 4:43 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 They both have their difficulties.

Kyle92 Posted at 4:43 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 tough call. theyd prolly be less mad at the surgeon cuz of what they were doin. but idk handsfree Posted at 4:42 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Anesthetists are a different race. SparklingFlower Posted at 4:42 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 anesthetist YOU just think people think that being a surgeon is harder. and want them to choose that option. FAIL! schembri92 Posted at 4:41 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 General anesthetist. a GP pretty much perscribes u pain killers. the other guy can mess up and kill u- UndergroundKing Posted at 4:40 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 Stoner All 11 previous replies displayed.
