"I believe many qualities make an excellent anesthesiologist. You must be compassionate, patient, and dedicated to working in this field. It takes time to complete many years of training, and when done, anesthesiologists must take the time to listen to their patients' fears and concerns while providing compassionate care. Excellent anesthesiologists also have problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, which help in the event of an emergency on the surgery table. I possess these skills and know they will help me succeed as a neurologist."
