This is the story of people and the art in, and of, medicine. Hi everyone, my name is Andy (ND for short). I am a photographer/videographer and Anesthesiolog…

First vacation in a long time that has actually felt like a vacation...and it happens to be off the tail of the world's biggest anesthesia conference. It's rare that co-residents get along enough to make such incredible memories together and I'm so thankful for the friends along the way that made this trip one of the best I've had in a long time. San Diego I'll be back for sure.

As resident physicians, or any healthcare worker who holds on to the stories of care through your own doubt of your abilities, each encounter heals. Sometimes the patient, sometimes you. This video is dedicated to Mr. 8962, a celebrated lawyer, father, grandfather, and husband. May you rest in peace, and may God grant you the most beautiful 18 holes of golf on Heaven’s greatest course, better than Augusta National could ever be.

Blessed are the children, for whom the kingdom of Heaven belongs to. To absolutely no one's surprise, my heart lies with caring for kids. They teach me so much every day, so why would I not want to learn continuously for the rest of my life. This is one of my senior pediatric anesthesia rotations as a resident doctor, and it has felt like returning home.

Resident doctors are supposed to be built different....that don't mean that going from a week of days, to nights, back to days, and back to nights isn't good for you. Taking care of laboring women has been one of the most challenging things I have done physically, mentally, and emotionally...all while coming home and attempting to take care of yourself so you can bring a smile to the families celebrating the birth of a little child.

What happened to the resident doctor who had all the big goals? What happened to the resident doctor who had the concerts and international trips lined up? Or to the doctor who looked so happy coming into work every day? Or to that doctor I looked up to that had the amazing supportive partner, new car, and endless energy?

Somehow I am now half way done with anesthesia residency! Rounding it out with one more 24 hour call and some impulse purchases and travel to celebrate. Looking forward to showing you guys more complex cases and how the role as a resident physician changes with seniority...but for now I'll take my lap appy's and chole's.

Well back again with another board exam...this time it is the ABA Basic that all CA-1 anesthesia residents in the country take. Putting life on pause again for a board exam is starting to get really exhausting, especially now that there is no such thing as "dedicated study" time and the next day is just a normal work day. Little bit of an existential crisis near the end.

Back in the ORs for the first time in over a month and we start it off with a 24 hour call on a holiday. You never know what you are going to get and now that I am almost technically a senior resident, more of the acute cases will start to come to me on call. But those weekends off and post call days are well taken advantage of. Welcome back to another 24 hours on call as an anesthesia resident.

Last week of CTICU included learning a ton about mechanical cardiac support, some surprise diagnoses, representing Yale's program at the state resident jeopardy, and getting one of the best PR packages I've ever received.

Welcome back the CTICU where you watch me slowly lose my mind :) From complex endovascular aneurysm repairs to emergency ECMO cannulation, you never know whether it will be a boring day or one where you never sit down. But anesthesia critical care docs are probably some of the smartest out there.

Starting my first of two surgical ICU rotations to complete residency, this one being in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit where we are seeing a lot of open heart surgery patient and complex vascular patients often needing mechanical or pharmacologic support for their heart. But also this is a time where I am learning new skills out of the OR (at a golf course that my swing does not deserve to grace) and continuing to decorate the new apartment.

Guest: No Sleep
After some much needed time off, I got a rude welcome back with a brutal 24 hour call with lots of learning, very sick patients, and not a single minute of sleep. Welcome back I guess to 24 hours on call with an anesthesia resident. Next stop, cardiothoracic ICU

Life has been busy and balance has been something sought after but not easily found. From trying to get research projects submitted, to welcoming new residents, to moving in the middle of residency...somehow we still try to find time for some celebration of big moments. Oh and BASIC is coming up so idk how I'm going to consistently upload until that's over lol.

One of the most notoriously difficult and dangerous operations is the liver transplant, and liver transplant anesthesia considerations feels like the super bowl of anesthesia. It tests your ultrasound guided access skills, shock management, and emergency preparation all in a grueling 8-10 hour marathon. But prepare well, and you have become a part of a life transforming procedure giving someone a new chance at health.

There is no such thing as just "taking PTO" in residency. Wellness is earned, time off must be scheduled, and sleep....well that's the first thing to be sacrificed in order to make the life events that so many other professions easily take a day off for. Life happens, and being in a supportive residency program goes a LONG way in making sure you can see as much life as the busy OR schedule allows you to. But that also means working hard to play hard.
