On Monday morning, a patient introduced by an acquaintance was anesthetized. After the busy, it was exactly 11 o'clock. On the other side of the phone, a strange number called in. Roughly speaking, it means having a meal at noon.
The reason why I want to invite guests to dinner is because I rejected the gifts sent by my family. Therefore, I came up with a way to eat to show my gratitude.
When I heard that I wanted to eat together, my heart was sour: I have been working for so many years, and I don't know what a restaurant looks like at noon!
The reason for the work, all kinds of excuses. However, there seems to be a lot of persistence over there. Claim: The dining table has been booked, and a few acquaintances have been invited to accompany him.
There was no way, I had to call one of these acquaintances and ask her to help push the meal away.
Straight to the point, I said, "Don't you know the nature of our work?" What time to eat!
Over there, he said, "Don't you eat at noon?"
Hearing this, my heart was very uncomfortable: the people do not know the situation of our anesthesiology department, how can you not know?
Looking back: Yes, too. Internal medicine and surgery, almost eight rods can not be beaten. The only intersections are generally limited to consultation and do not involve surgery.
Some people say: Surgical patients will also be involved in internal medicine diseases! For example, high blood pressure, heart disease, and lung disease.
What I want to say is that these jobs are basically covered by our anesthesia department. Except for those that must be adjusted by the internal medicine system, most cases are the underlying diseases of the anesthesiology department that controls the patient. Therefore, it is also said that an anesthesiologist is an internist in the operating room.
I explained to her: We also have to eat, but not so regularly. If the meal time happens to be between surgeries, you can sit there "beautiful" and eat a meal. The premise of this situation is that the aunt who delivers the meal can deliver the meal in time. If the aunt who delivered the meal was not so precise, she could only continue to prepare for the next anesthesia. If it's a major surgery of a few hours, eating can be a big problem.
Is that a big deal? She was surprised.
I went on to explain: Suppose it is a major operation, and it is impossible to run out to eat in the middle. And the only way to eat is for someone to take over for you for a little while. Note that it is a short time. Because, the people who eat have to replace everyone one by one to eat. One comes down at noon, five minutes for a person, and it takes more than an hour. After an hour, the person who took over the meal could eat.
Who is the person who will take over the meal? she asked.
It is an anesthesiologist or responsible attending physician on duty on the day. Sometimes, whoever has just stopped the operation will take the initiative to take over the meal for everyone. Because, everyone in the anesthesiology department knows the bitterness of being hungry at noon.
Can I finish eating in five minutes? Can your stomach stand it? At this time, she was already very shocked.
I told her: There are few good stomachs in the anesthesiology department. If you think about it, everyone has a biological clock. The stomach tells you to eat, you don't eat, can it stand it? Even if I can eat, I seem to want to pour the food into my stomach in one bite. Over time, gastritis is the lightest. Even, some colleagues have had stomach ulcers.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but say on the phone that we were hard.
Put down the phone and get back to work. Mixed feelings: Is this work glamorous? Is this job rich? So what are we sticking to?
