Question
Dr Ian Jackson i want to become an anesthesiologist and i wanted to know how how you were able to get through all those years of tuition.

thank you in advance

Answer
Hi there
It is different over here in the UK but I did 5 years at Medical School and then a further 8 years before I completed my post graduate training in anaesthesia. How did I get through?
I loved it, I find the subject fascinating and love using my hands. For me it was the best career possible.
Kind regards
Dr Ian Jackson
