The anesthesiologist is really hard and stressed. Of course, it is also a very important work, which is of great significance to hospital operation guarantee. Only minor surgery, no minor anesthesia. The quality of anesthesiologists has a key influence on the successful completion of patients' surgery and the occurrence of postoperative adverse events. It is a medical work that directly determines life and death. The accidental death rate of anesthesia in China is much higher than the international level, and China needs good doctors for anesthesia. From this point of view, if you are an excellent talent, I don't recommend you to leave the anesthesia major.

The closest thing to anesthesia is ICU. You can switch to ICU doctors. Of course, you have to learn a lot, because ICU is something that general practitioners can do. However, most ICU doctors in China switched from anesthesia. Compared with anesthesia, the work rhythm of ICU doctors is easier, but there is no lack of pressure.

Actually, don't think too much. If there are enough people, many anesthesiologists and ICU doctors I have met also have leisure time and don't feel how "hard" they are! After getting used to it, everything will enter a stable development track, and it is normal to make the rhythm faster occasionally.
