Who do you fear more, the surgeon or the anesthesiologist?

The anesthesiologist. Also, typing that word. Sheesh.

Neither.
If I must choose one, the surgeon. I don’t fear the surgery but instead the possible complications…Myself, I look forward to the anesthesia.

It was the anesthesiologist who overdosed my guy. He was a renal patient. The operation was a success totally but the patient died after the superbugs finished him off.

If anyone has a good immune system, chances are they will be fine under the care of either anesthesiologist or the surgeon. Medical capabilities are overall very, very good these days.

The dentist.

The anesthesiologist. My fear is an addict siphoning off my allotment or else negligence during administration.

Great timing, dude. I’m going to have surgery soon and I’m equally wary of both of them. Of course only until the anesthesiologist injects his cocktail in that IV.

The surgeon!

The anesthesiologist. Anesthesia mortality risk is “1 in 100,000 in the 1990s and early 2000s.”

I am sorry, @mazingerz88, didn’t want to make you worry more about it :-)
Have a successful surgery!

Neither. Both want to help so I let them help.

@rebbel Dude no prob and thanks. My 91 year old gentleman friend joked about why Hugh Hefner did not think about putting up a real Playboy Hospital where all nurses and female doctors wear sexy uniforms. He knew I would have crawled on all fours going there.

The anesthesiologist. I can’t be put to sleep again because of past trouble with anesthesia.

Ha! If the anesthesiologist is real good, I don’t fear either.

My mother. Who will probably kill the anesthesiologist and the surgeon if they screw up.
