I am a high school senior. i am interested in Anesthesiology. I want to know what is the working environment like. Are you on your feet alot? Do you work long hours? how oten do yo work?

Answer
The working environment can be stressfus but it is fun also. We are on our feet alot and the hours can be long (but that is true in all fields of medicine). We work at least 5 days a week and often more (including call).
