...Anesthesiologists administer drugs that reduce or eliminate the pain a patient might feel during a medical procedure (Anesthesiologist 4). There is much involved in becoming an anesthesiologist. Education is a major factor that may result in an anesthesiologist not being able to practice. They spend more time in school than practicing medicine (Anesthesiologist 2). Since technology has taken over the health care field, work has been made easy for anesthesiologist (Langdon). The main role of an anesthesiologist is to relieve the patient’s pain during an operation. Because of the enormous amount of time spent in school, they are rewarded well in pay and benefits (Encyclopedia 131). Anesthesiologists work in a stressful, high-risk environment (Anesthesiologist 4). They can work in multiple types of practices, ranging from a one-person practice to a practice containing a lot of anesthesiologists (Morkes 12)....

...In this major, patient duties are limited to the perioperative period, that’s why anesthesiologists are considered to have a good lifestyle. However, this profession cannot be limited to its technical features. Usually, this field attracts the characters who are highly responsible, attentive, dominated, active, and action-focused. 4- Perioperative communication: Anesthesia practice has its own communication confrontation. Even though the contact with awaken patients is limited, communication skills between anesthesiologists and patients are of high importance: if patients are anxious or anesthesiologists are in a rush, pre-anesthetic period might be easily altered and they might be treated in an unconcerned manner. The professional work of the anesthesiologists is affected by the quality and quantity of their communications with the patients....

...Nikki Starnes November 28, 2011 3rd &4th block Anesthesiologists An anesthesiologist is a medical doctor who cares for a patient before, during and immediately following a surgical or medical procedure by administering the appropriate anesthesia and monitoring the patient for reactions and complications, and to ensure comfort and manage pain. Some of the primary responsibilities of an anesthesiologist include examining the patient to determine the type of anesthetic needed, communicating all relevant information to the appropriate medical practitioners, and administering local, intravenous, or spinal anesthetic to the patient. Anesthesiologists meet with the patient prior to the surgical procedure to evaluate their condition and to review their medical history, they will explain the procedure to the patient so that they know what to expect. During surgery, an anesthesiologist carefully monitors the patient's vital signs—including heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, breathing, and kidney function—and adjusts anesthetics as needed. When surgery is finished, the recovery phase begins. The anesthesiologist administers medications to reverse the effects of the anesthetic, returning the patient to consciousness if a general anesthetic has been used. After surgery, patients are moved to a recovery room, where the anesthesiologist is still responsible for the patient's vital functions. In the recovery room, nurses and other specially trained staff closely monitor the patient...

She first put herself through school through school at Mt. Holyoke College with a BA in Zoology, she then attended Columbia University’ College of Physicians and Surgeons graduating in 1933, and later attending Johns Hopkins where she earned her Master’s Degree in Public Health ("Fond memories of," 1975). Even though individuals (such as Dr. Alan Whipple, the Chair of Surgery at Columbia University) saw the potential in Virginia, not one believed that she would be able to have a successful career due to the fact that she was a woman in the New York area around the 1950s (“Changing the face”). Virginia, then went on to have training in anesthesia, where at this time anesthesiologists were not seen as equals to surgeons. Since they were not respected as so, they received less pay that what was deserved (“Changing the face”). From there, Apgar started studying obstetrical anesthesia, this is what is given to a mother...

...Mixing Law and Medicine: A Lethal Combination Abstract “First do no harm” is the foundations that medical practices are based on, but there times in which the lines are blurred and physicians must question their ethical, legal and moral participation in procedures. Physician participation in executions of convicted criminals is explored in this paper. The history of the death penalty, including the early involvement of physicians is surveyed.

Outline I. Introduction a. Thesis- Even though physician’s participation in the implementation of court ordered executions are in direct violation of the fundamental directive of the Physician’s Code of Ethics, “First, do no harm…,” it is a necessary product of the practice to ensure a “good death” for the convicted.

They seek causes in random events, consider rare incidents likely and overweight the import of their experiences.

...FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently By Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF Based on in-depth interviews with more than 80,000 managers at all levels (and in companies of all sizes), the Gallup Organization’s Buckingham and Coffman reveal in this summary what great managers do differently from ordinary managers to coax world class performance out of their workers. Great managers, write the authors, routinely break all the rules. They take the conventional wisdom about human nature and managing people and turn it upside down. In this summary you will learn which conventional wisdoms to ignore. First, you will find a simple list of twelve questions that will help you assess whether your workplace is the kind of place that will attract and keep the best employees. You will then learn the four keys for unlocking the potential of each and every one of your employees. The first key is to select employees based on talent rather than experience o intelligence. This r summary will help you learn what talent is and why you can’t create it from scratch. The second key is to evaluate performance based on desired outcomes rather than direct control over the way a worker performs his or her job. You will learn how to define outcomes so performance can be measured and tracked. The third key to great management is to reject the conventional wisdom that people can be fixed. Focus on strength, the authors urge, not on weaknesses. You...

...Analyzing Due Process in the Workplace ELIHU M. GERSON AND SUSAN LEIGH STAR Tremont Research Institute Every office is an open system, and the products of office work are the result of decentralized negotiations. Changing patterns of task organization and alliance inevitably give rise to inconsistent knowledge bases and procedures. This implies that there are no globally correct answers to problems addressed by OIL%. Rather, systems must deal with multiple competing, possibly irreconcilable, solutions. Articulating alternative solutions is the problem of due process. This problem and its consequences are illustrated by a case study of a rate-setting group in a large health insurance firm. There is no formal solution to the problem of due process. But it must be solved in practice if distributed intelligent 01% are to be developed. We propose an alternative approach based on the work of social scientists concerned with analyzing analogous problems in human organization. Solution of the due process problem hinges on developing local closures to the problem faced by an organization. This means analyzing (a) local, tacit knowledge and its transfer ability; (b) articulation work, that is, reconciling incommensurate assumptions and procedures.
