Addiction in anaesthesiology: Sometimes shFNx01t happens
Abstract
Anaesthesiology demands a vigilant and controlled cautious person with a good-tempered manner and professional character. Those virtues and values were built through thousands of trials, errors, failures, chances, and breakdowns. When some individuals could resist and thrive, others may fall and surrender. Anaesthesiologists are responsible for patients and the utmost importance should be placed on the patient's physical safety and survival. The aim to become a good anaesthesiologist who focuses on the patient's safety and wellbeing can sometimes take its toll by sacrificing the well-being of the anaesthesiologists themselves.
