Is the future of anesthesiology (for MD/DO physicians) DEAD?!

I am frequently asked by medical students whether the specialty of anesthesiology will have a future. I am asked if CRNAs/AAs will take all of our jobs. I am asked if robots or artificial intelligence will replace us. I am asked if the job market is saturated [thus pushing salaries down]. While I do not have a crystal ball, I do have a lot of opinions on this topic.

In this video, I cover my thoughts on these 3 statements:
□ CRNAs/AAs will replace anesthesiologists.
□ AI/machines will replace anesthesiologists.
□ Salaries/demand for anesthesiologists are decreasing.

What do you think of these statements? Comment below!
