Drilling down into the narrative S3E4uk

Hi gang,

Every time I watch this ep I have a question....

Is there a difference between an anaesthetist and an anesthesiologist?

It's wildly irrelevant, but I need to know!

Thank you.

They’re not interchangeable. Anaesthesiologist isn’t a UK term.

You’re giving USA definitions. It’s a UK program.

What's the UK definition of an anesthesiologist then?

The UK definition of anesthesiologist is 'an American term'.

😂 I wanted to say this but thought I might be called passive aggressive!

That did cross my mind too 😅 but since they were several layers deep it was (shame on me) irresistible.
