lately i have become interested in anesthesiology but have heard some negative things from students. one thing i've heard more than once is that if push comes to shove in the OR over a decision about the patient then it is the surgeon who has the final say about what will be done, even if the decision falls under the realm of anesthesia. in other words the surgeon can just pull rank and overrule the anesthesiologist. i'd like to know from anesthesiologists on here if this is really true.
