and practice independently without physician super- vision. They don’t know what they don’t know, and as the result, patients suffer.

6. Would you encourage another young person into a career in medicine?

I would encourage another young person to pursue a career in medicine. Even though it takes a tre- mendous amount of effort and sacrifice to become a physician, it is worth it in the end. They will make a difference, as someone somewhere will benefit from their knowledge and expertise. It is a noble profes- sion.

7. What has been the most unique medical case you have faced before (without breaking any HIPPA laws of course)?

I had a patient who was a 17-year-old man scheduled for turbinate reduction, septoplasty, and rhinoplasty. Preoperatively, he was rather anxious, feeling that he was going to die. That morning he said goodbye to all of his family members, including his bed. Intra- operatively, he was stable for the first two hours of the surgery. Shortly after the 2-hour mark, he devel- oped signs of malignant hyperthermia. I immediately followed the necessary steps to treat him. Fortunately, he was discharged home two days after surgery in one piece. Later on, I was notified that his grand- mother has a history of malignant hyperthermia!

8. If you could not be a doctor, what would you be?

A professional poker player.

9. What is your favorite inspirational quote?

Carpe diem- Horace

10. Is there a stigma associated with or unknown fact about your specialty that you would like to share with other physicians?

According to the American Society of Anesthesiolo- gists, a survey showed that six in ten Americans do not know that anesthesiologists are physicians. In addition, some physicians do not know what anesthe- siologists do. With that said, anesthesiologists do not get the respect they deserve from both patients and physicians. Briefly, anesthesiology is the branch of medicine concerned with anesthesia and anesthetics. Anesthesia is a state of temporary loss of sensation or awareness; that includes analgesia, paralysis, am- nesia, and unconsciousness, which are achieved by anesthetics. Anesthesiologists evaluate, monitor, and deliver anesthesia before, during, and after surgery, while ensuring patient safety. Anesthesiologists specialize in anesthesia care, pain management, and critical care medicine.
