The operating room is a sacred environment. It can be life or death. It's sterile and highly secured. It can change patients' lives in remarkable ways! It takes a LOT for the operating room to function, so let me show you a day in my life in this unusual workplace!
I believe that to give the best care to patients, I need to take the best care of myself. I start with meditation and exercise in the mornings (a powerful habit!). I sometimes need to take the dog out on a walk before going to work. That's always an adventure!
On the drive to work I try to plan out my day, particularly if there are complex patients or difficult cases. It's a beautiful view on the way to work in the San Francisco Bay Area!
Once I get to work, I hop in the locker room. Then I need to prepare my anesthesia machine and anesthesia equipment. That includes the life support machine and medications. Then I need to meet the patients, perform targeted histories and physical exams. The mouth exam (also called "airway exam") is very important for anesthesiologists!
Some surgeries need nerve blocks, and I do those either before or after we enter the operating room. I try to give some relaxing medication on the way to the operating room.
Once we enter the operating room, the critical part of surgery and anesthesia starts: falling asleep. The heart, brain, lungs, and kidneys are all vulnerable while the patient is falling asleep. After I fill the patient's lungs with oxygen, we go to sleep, and the patient typically stops breathing. That's when the critical breathing tube goes in.
Once we're asleep the surgery can start. I need to monitor the patient constantly and give life support medications to keep all the body's organs alive and well. I also need to make sure the breathing is going well on the ventilator. Critical stuff!
Waking up from anesthesia is also critical: if the breathing tube is taken out at the wrong time, it can cause severe brain and heart damage. If it comes out too late, the patient may remember the breathing tube. No patient wants that!
After the patient is safely awake, we wheel over to the recovery room. I drop off the patient to a nurse who makes sure the patient is comfortable, not in pain, nor nauseous. They recover the patient until the patient is ready to recover in the hospital or to go home.
At the end of each case, I need to clean up my anesthesia station and dispose of medications, syringes, needles, etc. What happens to the meds? The controlled medications, like opioids (think fentanyl, Dilaudid, morphine, versed, and ketamine need to be wasted with a witness. Unused medications go back to the locked box they came from (to prevent diversion of these dangerous controlled medications). Other medications are usually stored in my locked anesthesia cart.
With all this running around, it's difficult to keep track of the essence of medicine. My practice is to always try using lifestyle as medicine (like "food as medicine"). Sometimes patients need a little more support though. That's when gentle plant medications and supplements come in play. The goal is to always return to life without medications though!
In some cases, patients need even more support. That's when there's a role for powerful conventional medications, and even surgery and anesthesia. As always, the goal is to use powerful medications (with powerful side effects) to return to optimal health. Hopefully there's no need for lifelong medications or supplements - just you and your healthy lifestyle!
At the end of the day, I drop off the last patient, make sure all the patients are tucked in, stable, and comfortable. Patients need to be stable and safe, otherwise I can't leave!
On the drive back home, I often think about how the day could've gone better. Specifically, why did patients need surgery in the first place? There are so many opportunities to prevent illness, and prevent ending up on the operating room table, and I wish patients knew the power they had over their health to prevent these outcomes.
When I get home, I'm greeted by our puppy Karma. I try to get my workout in as quickly as possible (otherwise I get too tired!). When possible, I call my patients for the next day so I can answer their questions about the anesthesia and help put their minds at ease.
After the work is done, it's dinner time! My wife is a fantastic cook, and I'm grateful she guides me in helping to cook delicious, healthy meals!
At the end of the night, I crate Karma and hit the sack myself. Gotta get ready for another early morning!
Leave your questions below and remember: you have more power over your health than they want you to know!
As a former Nurse who worked in surgery, assisting with anesthesia and the operation assisting the Surgeon, this doctor is the most important person in the room.
thank you. hardly anybody knows what they actually do. many people don't even know that anesthesiologists are actually doctors.
Agreed
@@Oetker_MD - And they are the highest paid profession in the USA (or at least in California, and I believe the nation) because it is a difficult, stressful, and highly skilled profession.
Obviously lol
Isn’t this common knowledge?😭
In addition to being a well trained and fully qualified physician, I think that you are a good man who sincerely cares about the health and recovery of his patients. Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you! That is very kind!
I have great respect for dedicated physicians. So much responsibility involved in patient care.
Not to mention those arms 😍
@@MedicalSecrets having surgery Monday, can you be my by my side 😂😂
@@teepeeX I'm wishing you the best! 🙏
In my experience anesthesiologists often have the best bedside manner. They realize how nervous you are for surgery & "being put to sleep". Thank you for all that you do to care for us.
They usually full of tattoos
And show them to kids before lights out
Ha ha
I am sooooo impressed by what you do! I've had 15 surgeries, and I'm about to have my 16th with a removal of a kidney. I never knew how much you had to do. I just thought you monitor my heart, breathing, give me something to go night night and that's it, besides giving me the drug to bring me out of my sleepy time. WOW! Sir you have my utmost respect! Not that I didn't respect an anesthesiologist, but now it's on a whole different level! Anesthesiologists rock!!
Thank you for the kind comments! I'm sorry to hear you've had so many surgeries, I hope your experiences have been positive
@@MedicalSecrets My experiences HAVE been positive! I just put in my mind that I'll soon get to take a nap, since I had to get to the hospital super early, and only ONCE did I have a slight sore throat with all the surgeries. That's a good record!
I have learned a lot from you, and you and all anesthesiologists have my profound and deepest respect! ANESTHESIOLOGISTS ROCK!!! 🤘👏👏💋💋
@@MedicalSecrets sorry for all the misspellings.....read on, you'll see.....
I've had 5 surgeries and looking at more as well and I'm so tired of having to go under the knife but sometimes you have to do what you've gotta do to feel better and to be well. But i appreciate the ansteoigoilists for there hard work and for keeping a good eye on they're patients and God Bless all.
Same here, I am also impressed.. God bless the anesthesiologist ❤
Having been both an RN in OR/PACU(“recovery “), and a patient in the OR, I always remember to thank the anesthesiologists and let them know how appreciated they are ! Oftentimes the surgeons get all the credit, but your anesthesiologist is the one responsible for KEEPING YOU ALIVE , sometimes for hours and hours. Monitoring your vital signs, ordering and interpreting blood work throughout the surgery, giving blood transfusions, administering IV fluids & medications, communicating with the surgeon and other staff during the operation, the list goes on & on. It is a very demanding job, so remember to thank your anesthesiologist for taking care of you !
I LOVE propofol. As a RN and an often patient, I thank the anesthesiologist prior to the surgery and remind him/her not to let me wake up during the procedure 😁
Anesthesiologists are so friendly l notice.
I remember saying don't put anything in my throat as asthmatic and sensitive throat which can spasm. I subsequently had a asthma attack after.
I agree. Keeping you alive is EXTREMELY important! They do deserve more credit for sure.
@@Katie-vy5rd work in ICU and ER for 20 years first, lol. I'm sorry, i was going to leave it at that, but thats a rather flip answer. It definitely helps to have a good strong base of critical care, also go ahead and get the training you'll need : ACLS, PALS, (of course having my specialty certifications helped - CCRN, MICN,) Learn all you can through C.E. coursework, talk to nurses who broke into that type of work - just like you are doing. Good luck Katie 👍
I remembered I told the men who put me into the coma, please don’t let me die during my Breast cancer mastectomy, they both were so kind, they smile to me and told me in their warm voices, we will make sure you are well! I want to thank you sir for doing such highly honor smart job, may God bless & protect you & all medical personnels! In Jesus mighty Name, amen
Amen
This dude's like a medical Mr. Rogers for adults -- a hero we desperately need.
You guys are the REAL heroes everyday, thanks for what you do.
Thank you for the kind comments! But at the end of the day, the patient has the most power over the surgery outcome in the long run 🙏
Never in my life did I think I would hear a doctor being a proponent of practice of medicine without “medicine” if at all possible. Love this guy. We need more drs like him.
This is what the world needs more of, I can’t express it enough. Phenomenal Dr.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Heidi don't trust on big pharma never they are Predators we citizens are their preys
@@realguy577 pardon me? That was not nice of you.
@@redbull7324 very true.
Dude, I have been a pelvic surgeon for over 30 years. Excellent presentation! You rock!
Im an anesthesia nurse for 11 years. And I really appreciate the work of anesthesiologist. Oftentimes they are not given proper compliments because patients are more focus on the surgeons. We are using Drager Zeus and Drager Primus anesthesia machines and all the explanations about the drugs and the equipments needed are really on point. I never thought I would love working in anesthesia this much. I cannot imagine myself working in any nursing fields aside from anesthesia. Good job on explaining everything so that others may appreciate what we do, we are not only working inside Operating room but in MRI, CT scan, Cath lab, angio, and nuclear medicine as well for patients who needs sedation during the procedure.
After my 42 year old husband almost died from Covid last August-September, I have come to appreciate wonderful healthcare workers. He was vented and heavily sedated for well over 15 days. Finally worked off of all vent related care by December. Unfortunately, he did have two cva strokes. All this to say, my respect for health care workers like you and those who cared for my husband during his most critical time, is through the roof!! Thank you!
I hope he has made some recovery from the strokes 🙏 I wish the best for you both
I am SO sorry to hear about your husband's strokes. And at 42. This Covid scourge knows no end. I hope he was left in such a way that he can rehab his way back to a normal life with minimal to no deficits. Blessings to you both.
@@MedicalSecrets fu a dog a in a cage u should be in a cage fffggit
Lovely Dictor is sent from UNIVERSE..❤️❤️
I'm so sorry to hear that, but you are the first people that are saying thanks after your husband dead during my service
Anesthesiologists always have had my utmost respect. Heros.
I’m an ICU nurse who just got my acceptance letter to CRNA school. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Congrats dude! That's a major achievement. Best of luck with nurse Anesthetist career 🥳🥳
🎉
Best to you in your new studies! 👍🙏
Psilocybin mushrooms healed me. I can’t explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening. It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety.
Shrooms completely turned my life around. My anxiety and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous loving person
I would love to try shrooms, just don't know where to get them, can anyone link me to someone?
@@JaimeFletcher-sl6py He’s on insta?
The best experience l had was LSD, I've been so happy my face literally hurt from smiling so much. Love the fact that it’s non addictive, same with shrooms
@@DerickMatthew-dd8wm Yes. He has variety of stuff shrooms, LSD, DMT, you name it. He’s good
My goodness, I had no idea that an anesthesiologist had to go through all this to put a patient under. Doctor I really appreciate you sharing the many details of what you do and I found it very interesting. I’ve had several back surgeries and I’m doing really well thanks to all that got me through each one of them. Other than my back, I’ve always been very healthy and never had any issues from other illnesses or diseases that many people my age (80 in another 12 days) have. When I’ve had surgery, my thing is to tell jokes to my surgeon and anesthesiologist and just have some laughs to help me not to be nervous. I know they are there to help me and I always appreciate everyone who helps me through the entire process. I’ve always had the best nurses too. Again, humor is always my favorite thing. Thank you so much for being you and you have such a great smile and I suspect you also have a fun sense of humor as well. God bless you and you family and your beautiful dog.
Such kind words, thank you! And I'm happy to hear your surgeries went well
Ofcourse you didnt know, otherwise there wouldnt be this video and you wouldnt be watchig it!!! GROW UP!
Almost fell asleep with this video....Lol
@@realguy577 WTF is wrong with you? This is an almost 80 year old person you are telling to grow up! How about you learn some respect on your way to "growing up", because obviously you are not there yet!
It was interesting when you mentioned the power of suggestion. I once went under while my nurse anesthetist was arguing with a surgical tech about the form of anesthesia the doctor wanted (getting my hip replaced). They were ignoring me. I was scared, nervous and upset by the arguing. I woke up with breathing tube still in and doctor and nurse talking about how I had tachycardia. I was sick, upset, and had some PTSD from the experience. The next time I had surgery (slipped disc) I spoke about my concerns and what had happened before. This time the entire OR staff was chill, the anesthesiologist was cracking jokes with me (I’m all about humor), and as I went under she told me to think of where I was happiest. I’m positive she must have said other encouraging things that I don’t remember. I woke up from that surgery with zero problems. I am convinced that one of the most powerful predictors of how a patient will do after surgery is how they are treated in those moments from pre-op to asleep on the table. BTW, I have had SLE for 32 years (I’m 48 now). Steroids kinda ruined a lot of my early life with first hip replaced at 21. Now my body is so out of whack that I don’t know how to bring it back in line! I really liked your video and your positive message and outlook. Oh, and my greatest friend (been friends since we were 12) went to Stanford also, except that’s where she did her graduate work. She has a Ph.D. in Population Genetics and I don’t understand most of what she studies. I just have a M.A. in. American History and a M.A.T. in Social Sciences from my local University (but just get me talking about the social history of how death has been handled in America and I won’t shut up…I’m have a bit of a macabre personality). However congrats on Stanford and especially Harvard! Wicked difficult program, right? 😊👍
PLEASE don’t EVER discount your degrees!!! Some professions require different types of degrees, so as long as you’re in line with your profession don’t compare your training to your friend’s.😄You’re valued!
Go hsve a session with Dr Darrell Wolfe❤️
We thank all of the Anesthesiologists! Thank you for taking care of us.
By far you are the most important person in the OR……hands down. Excellent video!!!
That's very kind of you, thank you!
I am a doctor i will soon start my internship and your video was full of motivation for me you are working and enjoying your work at the same time i just want to be like you 👍👍
That's fantastic to hear! What specialty?
You’re amazing! As a RN for almost 20 years having a Doctor that is professional and personable is a BIG WIN!! From what I see you embody both continue the phenomenal work you’re doing. Blessings and Love!😊
I wanted to be an anesthesiologist so bad since I was a child. I’m 50 years old now and I’ve had health issues that prevented me. I find it fascinating the way you explain everything your videos are awesome.
Why have you wanted to be an anesthesiologist, if I may ask?
@@leif1075 I used to want to be a dentist lol since I had bad teeth as a kid and had to get braces
No, you're bored out and watch this video and wanted to be a doctor
Very impressive. I like the fact that he keeps himself in shape, serving as an example for his patients. Bad lifestyle choices are probably one of the major reasons why people end up on the op table.
People are praised for being obese these days that doesn’t help
WOW, I knew anesthesiologists dealt with drugs but this is way crazier than what I expected! Please show more
It's great seeing a doctor doing exactly what they should. Caring about every patient no matter what. You are a very good man, please keep doing what u know u should.
As a chronic pain, patient, I am very tolerant to anesthesia during surgeries. During a complete hip replacement after assuring the doctor that I needed a great amount of pain medication during the surgery as well as monitoring for consciousness, they put me under, and I woke up right in the middle of the surgery. I was in excruciating pain and I heard someone say he’s awake. I was in recovery for seven hours because they could not control the pain. The pain from that surgery has never gone away. The mechanics of it was flawless but the pain issues are endless. I’ve had a few other surgeries since and I have talked to the anesthesiologist and doctor, who is doing the surgery about monitoring me, so I don’t wake up. So far so good, but it’s a great concern every time. Thank you for your videos you do a terrific job of commentary. Keep up the great work you’re helping out a lot of people. Thank you.
Keep advocating for yourself and the other patients, thank you!
my biggest fear! feel for you! sorry to hear you had such experience 😢😢😢
Literally it has been the biggest blessing finding you. My 16 year old HS Junior has FINALLY determined what he wants to be when he grows up and you guessed it, to become an anesthesiologist! This video was so AMAZING to watch WITH him to truly determine if this is what he thought it would be. THANK YOU for this positive and comprehensive day in your life. I was shocked at everything your job entails and so excited to watch my son's sincere interest/excitement for this field. We visited his dream school, Stanford, last summer. Gorgeous!
The Stanford campus is NOT gorgeous. I sure hope you drove to Berkeley to visit a REAL campus! Go Bears.
I love the security framework around your work, being in cybersecurity- that all makes sense.
Your intelligence and warmth as a person exude from the video. So interesting and informative. Loved this!
This is a man who knows how to delay gratification, much respect and gratitude for your sacrifices, Doc! ❤️🙏💞
Every hospital needs a Dr.K in it.🥰 Anesthesiologist are the angels in the OR.
This is so motivating. Thank you for taking care of yourself so you can take care of us!
Not only an expert in his field but an excellent speaker; appreciate your expertise. TY
Thank you for the kind comment!
I’ve had 6 major surgeries and it’s very interesting to watch the extremely important position you have. Thank you for sharing, it makes a person really appreciate what you do.
Anesthesiologist keep us alive during surgery. Love to all our Anesthesiologist around the world ❤❤❤
You is such a gentleman I love the way you well spoken ....get down to details ....I easy understand you because you dont left out nothing you do this the best of all the other video I watch from other people ....just watching your video we need more people like you well spoken gentlemen
Thank you for the kind comments, and I am so happy to hear that you learned something 🙏
Thank you for the profoundly informative video! I’ve been under general anesthesia twice for surgery and I’m in disbelief in how much is done before, during and after surgery. I’ve had great experiences and outcomes, thank God and to the physicians.
Truly amazing!
Thank you for the kind comments!
Great video, I work in a hospital as a pharmacy tech and I prepare the anesthesia carts and fill the narcotics, overnight and compound these nerve blocks etc. I’m getting ready to start medical school soon and watching this is inspiring
I love that you are carrying the dog home
🤣
The fact that you're incharge of this crazy chemical dance going on inside our bodies is pretty cool. How you accomplish this with as few side effects as possible is pretty amazing too. I mean that's a lot of drugs! Powerful drugs.
Modern anesthesia is incredible!
That was so interesting! No wonder my throat hurts when I’ve had surgery. Thank you for your dedication to medicine!
Mines too
Honestly, Thank God for people like you!!!
Thank you for the kind comments! 🙏
I wish you could be the anesthesiologist during my surgery. You convey great calmness by providing people like me with insight on anesthesia, how it works, and how detailed and prepared anesthesiologists are for each case. Thank you for creating this video! It was very educational.
Thanks for sharing what you do!High energy day! My dad was an anaesthesiologist at Stanford for 35 years and has passed now. I was an OR aide one summer at Stanford.
He seems to really know his "art". I have been BLESSED to have had great outcomes after numerous procedures. Thanks to all caring anesthesiologists.
Thank you for all that you do in the o.r. to keep patients alive and see them through the surgery. I have had 5 surgeries.
1st time viewing this video. 1 of my daughters is a MD. Neonatalogist. 20 yrs ago I started telling my anesthesiologist(s) how much I value their expertise. People usually only praise their surgeon(s). They forget or don't know an Anastesiologist literally holds life and death in hand!!! My Anastesiologist(s) always smile, comment on how much I appreciate them and tell me 'thank you'. I don't know you but I appreciate your hard work!
Thank you for the kind comments! 🙏congratulations on such a high achieving daughter!
I am a diesel mechanic.Impressed by this wonderful knowledge.We just start working on the equipment without much prep.I admire your home life too.Eating right,exercising and meditating definitely will keep us out of the doctor's garage.
You are winning at this game of life, Dr! Proud of you 😊
I have been an Anesthesiologist since 1991. Nice video. I must say you are very lucky to have time for your morning 200 push ups/ dog park/dog carry routine during daylight hours, an hour commute each way, and still be returning home also during daylight hours on the same day for your afternoon workout/gardening/calling patients. Most of us have to be at work before the sun comes up, be ready for a 07:00 or 07:30 start time for the first case, and work 10 to 12 hours each day. If this video is TRULY representative of your typical day, you have managed to arrange your career to have work/life balance that is EXCEPTIONALLY rare in our field of medicine. Well done!
im 41, and i already have a six figure job but its not a fulfilling one, i dont feel like im where im supposed to be just yet. i also just graduated with an associate (non) healthcare degree. im thinking about applying to a 4 year univeristy for nurse/ crna eventaully, do you think its worth it still at my age, what advice would you have for someone like myself?
This was so insightful! Thanks so much for what you do! I imagine it is crazy stressful and most people in this field do it because it is a calling, more than a job for them. You have my utmost respect for your craft!
So kind of you!
So much responsibility God Bless all of you anesthesiologist🙏
Thank you 🙏
@@MedicalSecrets Very welcome Sir
As someone who has had a knee replacement, shoulder replacement, and 2 carpal and cubital tunnel surgeries in the last 3 years, I can totally appreciate doctors like you. All of my anesthesiologists were awesome, just like you! Thanks for what you do. On a side note, I had a friend who had a Belgian Malinois (former police dog!) named Karma. He used to always say, “you don’t wanna get bit in the ass by Karma.” I couldn’t have agreed more! 😂 God Bless.
Right they have the hard part
God bless you too
Anesthesiologists are amazing people.
As a former nurse and Arthritis and analgesic pharmaceutical specialist I am thankful for your presentation . Your explanation is comprehensive and understandable. .
I loved watching your enthusiasm for what you do and your caring, compassion and concern for your patients well being while in your care
I must say though you do look familiar to me and may have actually been my anesthesiologist during my recent surgery at Stanford
Your enthusiasm for maintaining a healthy lifestyle is great to see
I've had several surgeries, and gotta say I've been blessed with no problems and usually not even a sore throat. And I try to let the anesthesiologist know that is appreciated when he comes and does a post op check on me. ❤
This was very cool to learn more about what anesthesiologists do. I’ve been through multiple surgeries for breast cancer and reconstruction and just today learned that the needle doesn’t stay under the skin with an IV. Maybe next time I won’t be so scared. Thanks for that!
Yes, knowledge can be so powerful to reduce anxiety!
As a RN who is about to have surgery on Friday, THANK YOU for ALL that you do!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for connecting the dots for me. I recently underwent robotic surgery for a hernia as a result of a fall. Once I received the Verced sedative I didn’t really recall much other than being rolled into the or. Now I better understand why my throat was so sore and how strong the drug prophol was.
Thank you for your service to humanity , you seem like a really good person. Thank you again for the help
I have had more than my share surgeries. And when someone in the operating room says don't worry we R going to take care of U it is extremely comforting. ❤
Wow. I worked in a hospital for 14 yrs, I've had several Surgeries and Procedures too where I had to be under anesthesia and I wish I had had You Dr Kaveh. You are One Caring and Thorough Doctor!!! Your patients are blessed and in great care!!! ♡♡♡
This video…WOW!!! Seeing you in action during a live surgery was mind blowing! It was like watch an orchestra! Smooth and precise and calming yet very stimulating to the brain. To be an anesthesiologist with allllllllll that you need to know because you never know what may unexpectedly happen during a planned surgery or trauma case, has to be the most important specialty over ALL specialties there are in the medical field! Your brain is something very special Dr. Kaveh! You are above and beyond any medical specialist I have worked amongst over the past 40 years which include ENT, OBGYN & ORTHO…YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD.
Honestly thank you for being in that field and saving life’s and being a professional and your knowledge.
Takes a special kind of person to do a job like this. What a great video, thank you
This video was absolutely amazing! It's so much of a blessing to see someone as passionate about their work as you are. Thank you for being such a great anesthesiologist. I'm blown away by your amazing work.
Thanks again for posting this.
I just had a robotic prostatectomy 5 weeks ago and this info makes me appreciate the work they do at a much higher level.
Thanks for educating us 🙏🏽 I have surgery coming up and I’ve been watching your videos so I’m more informed and less scared and worried. Thanks again much love from Toronto 🇨🇦
What a wonderful video! You are the true heroes of this country. So caring and giving. I knew your job was involved, but boy I learned a lot about everything you all must do! I had a gall bladder surgery in 2007 and they started lapryscopiclly, but found it was too infected. They have to do it the old fashion way and cut me in half. I actually woke up while the surgeon was still working….he saw me and said “ we’re almost done” and then I was out. Here is the weird part…….in recovery I was in massive pain. The doctor came in and asked me if I remember anything, and I thought immediately..”yeah I was awake during the operation”….but my response to him was “no”…..then I heard him tell the nurse that I wasn’t under deeply so O would experience more pain than normal. Why would I clearly remember this event, yet answer the doctor with a “no”?? Anyway, thank you very much…..fascinating the knowledge you must acquire and stay up to date for your most critical of jobs!
With much respect to you doctors/ surgeons. And to showing us what goes on in the OR. Ive had many surgeries & exciting to see exactly this & i know most patients have no idea. Thanks so much😊
Your definitely one of a kind. Glad to hear how honest your are with the most difficult procedure in the operating room.
Your knowledge of a patients state of mind and the impact it can have while going under👍👍👍
I sure want to get as healthy as possible so I won't have to go under anymore unless absolutely necessary.
👍
This is what my son and daughter want to become. Hope they follow in my footsteps, stay in the medical field and become a specialist.
I am, in all honesty, so thankful that you’ve recorded this amazing series of videos. I’ve watched so many of your more recent videos but I’m quite glad this one came up in my suggestions today. So many of my questions from other videos were answered here. All of the basic stuff. Your descriptions of the state of the patient requiring intubation and tape on their eyes is wonderful. I’ve always wondered about these and am more at ease knowing all of this.
I love Karma, your workout routine and your state of mind regarding medicine. So thankful for you.
Oh so happy to see your a real person with family makes me feel relieved 😊❤!!
Great info. Thank you so much. Your patients are lucky. Never had an anesthesiologist be so thorough and compassionate
Great video and extremely informative. Deepest respect for doctors and that you do for us.
I appreciate you as anesthesiologist so so much! I had a literal miracle magic maker when I had my hip replacement surgery. I had a great experience! Thank you for all that you do in this amazing work!
I always enjoy listening to you. Thank you for taking the time to educate the public. I'm comfortable in the hospital setting and even surgery. I worked as a surgery scheduler and unit secretary while as an adult I got my degrees. I trust the medical professionals and I know most of them are caring and knowable.
I love it how you manage to take care of yourself in a crazy busy schedule, thank you for sharing,
Fascinating ! Had hip surgery 9 months ago and my anesthesiologist was just a doll. He definitely was a warm & reassuring presence before the surgery. You guys/gals are the best !
Thank you! I hope your hip surgery went well!
Wow this is simply amazing! As a native of San Francisco, born and raised in the Sunset District of San Francisco, we sometimes forget how absolutely beautiful our views are with good weather conditions.
Thanks for doing what you do. Anesthesiologists are truly needed and should always be recognized. 🙌🏾
Thank you! Love to hear from a fellow San Francisco native!
You truly are an amazing man who puts patient care first. I have never had an anesthesiologist check me after surgery (or maybe I don’t remember)! You are an inspiration!
You are an awesome doctor/teacher. Really marvelous, so freaking smart, you are. People like you make us have hope about life.
God bless you many times over sir. Be well.
Wow I didn't know that anesthesiologists did so much. It's amazing and thank you so much! I've had about five surgeries and I'm getting ready to have another one for endometriosis next week. It's interesting to see and hear how you explained it. You did a really good job of showing us. I really appreciate you
Wow,, that job requires so much attention to details and also being so responsible. Bless his heart.
Just amazing. I have had surgery twice. The anaesthesia doctor was so kind and funny.
Former paramedic here... what an excellent video describing anesthesia and especially airway management.
And, now as a clinical hypnotist (specializing in medical hypnosis), I loved the fact that you mentioned the power of suggestion, and the benefits of hypnosis (
Wow! That's a rare combination! Thank you so much for the kind comments 🙏
What’s an example of a suggestion you do before putting them under..?
Thank you for sharing behind the scene, much respect for the well job you do.
My pleasure!
Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderfully informational and interesting video with us all. You are amazing!
Hi Dr. Kaveh,
I’m really learning a lot from your videos. I’ve had numerous surgeries and never really knew exactly what happened during those surgeries from an anesthesia aspect so thank you for providing those details. For me, knowing the details will make me feel more at ease.
Take care,
Janet
Wow! This was so enlightening! I thought all the anesthesiologist did was put people to sleep. I apologize for my lack of knowledge, and I'm so grateful for the work you do. You are the reason people wake up! Having had a couple of surgeries, I am just grateful!
Wow this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing, so informative and interesting!
I am glad I found this. I am having surgery tomorrow and I'm terrified. At least I can see how hard your job is and taking care of your patients. Thank you!!!
Thankyou for all you do for our people. We are blessed to have people like you who are very skilled to helping our people. God bless you!!
