Totally inspired by Yasamin @yasminm and her neurology thread, here& #39;s Anesthesiology as a series of Schitt& #39;s Creek gifs:

When a licensing exam candidate suggests cardiopulmonary bypass as an option for a failed airway...
When arrive to insert the labour epidural...
When the anesthesia lounge coffee machine breaks down...

When the number of "bed up" and "bed down" requests exceeds the surgical instrument requests...
When someone else touches your anesthesia machine...
When someone suggests a neuraxial technique in a bacteremic patient with a coagulopathy...
When your med student is interested in anesthesia because they heard it& #39;s a lifestyle specialty...
When you& #39;re asked to do an anesthesia consult on a patient who has no admitting history/physical, no surgical consent and the planned procedure has not yet been established...
When you go to ER/ICU to help manage a super challenging airway...
