Anesthesia Wise Guys Shelly Ferrell

4th yr med student here about to apply for anesthesia residency. Love your show, content really helpful on rotations. Wish sound quality was a little better sometimes. Voices are quieter than other podcasts, possibly due to acoustics in the recording room.

As a clinical pharmacist, I wanted to check these guys out for a broader perspective on the anesthesia view of medication therapy. Unfortunately, the first episode I listened to was “Off Label Uses” which was basically a hour long bash involving multiple arrogant and condescending hosts bragging and trading stories about their disrespect for the practice of pharmacy. Heaven forbid someone question the high and mighty anesthesiologist when they order something against hospital protocol or manufacture labeling. The profound concept of explaining the use/indication of an order to the person who’s main job is to verify the safety of a medication is lost to them. Their unprofessional immaturity makes anesthesiologist look bad.

I find this podcast tough to listen to. These ‘wise guys’ sound more like immature frat boys. Irritating to listen to them be so condescending towards other specialties in medicine. They have little to no respect for Pharmacists, Nurses, ect... It’s a condescending sophomoric podcast; there are better ones out there...keep looking.
