"During my path to becoming an anesthesiologist and then practicing the specialty, I've learned to see the patient's perspective instead of seeing it just as my performance of a duty. I have become much more empathetic which is a trait that all medical professionals should have."

"The most valuable lesson I have learned is the lesson of staying on task, and task number 1 is always putting the patient first in every thing I do and every decision I make. When I am rendering anethesia to a patient, I am on his or her time, not mine, and my world should serve the needs of his or her world."

"Often I meet my patient for the first time the day of anesthesia. The most valuable lesson I've learned as an anesthesiologist is how to establish a patient doctor relationship that is immediately supportive of trust, and for that, the patient must see the empathy I have. If that happens, patient trust is established which goes a long way to how the procedure will go."
