Question
Hi,
My name id DAMIE. I was just wondering how demanding the job of an anethesiologist is. Would you recommend it to an aspiring doctor and mother of the home like myself?

Answer
As are all jobs in medicine, anesthesiology is demanding both of time and stress. As a mother you might find it difficult to go through the process of college (if you haven't taken the appropriate prerequisite courses), medical school and residency (although many people do it).
