I want to do a thorough discussion about the exciting life of an Anesthetist and the prospect after getting admission in DA, DNB or MD anesthesia.
To make it interesting I shall show my thesis/dissertation and my bookshelf.
I hope it will make you change your mind and will pursue Anesthesia , Critical Care Medicine and Pain Medicine as your profession.
An Anesthetist needs to read all of these books to treat patients in different scenarios.
Note- We treat our medicine and related patients according to Harrison where as any surgical patients are treated according to Miller, Stoelting, Morgan, Yao etc.
For pain we study Benzon,Bajwa, Raj & Gautam Das.
Instruments by Dorsch and Dorsch.
Basic Physiology for Anesthetists by Chambers and Huang.
Macleods is a must for examination.
Paul Marinoi ICU Book is another must.
I did my thesis on Echocardiography in MS patients with RV dysfunction and the outcome after MVR.
.
I hope this series will help you a lot.
seems like this anaesthetist has inferiority complex and a lot of insecurities. He has already posted 4 times in the last 2 days saying and that an anaesthetist can manage cases from other specialities also 
Is he jealous of other specialists that they earn more than him and is over compensating ?
