This struck me extraordinarily unkind. Anesthesiologists have just as much training as surgeons, I think? And they are a key part of surgery, aren't they?
I mean, I don't know anything about medical things but I was under the impression that anesthesiologists are just as highly trained and respected as surgeons.
Why would the junior doctor say something so mean about the people who keep you pain-free? I just thought it was quite upsetting to hear a member of such a dedicated profession maligning a group of fellow doctors.
