Almost 10,000 surgeries are performed every year at TPCH but none of these would be possible without a team of highly trained anaesthetists. 💉😴

Dr Andrei who is originally from Russia has spent the last year at TPCH as a Staff Specialist in Anaesthetics.

"I`ve practiced in Russia, South Africa, now Australia, it’s very interesting to travel through different countries and systems, seeing environments I thought I`d never see in my life. I think I became a better anaesthetist due to the [Australian] training," said Dr Andrei.

"I prefer to work in orthopaedics and trauma, and this is a smaller hospital which is not as busy as the RBWH for example so it`s a smaller department and I recognise and get to know people, there`s lots of support.

"Although I am on general side of anaesthetics, I am attracted to the cardiac specialty and working in the cardiac centre is very interesting, the cardiac team has a lot of experience." 🫀

"I read non-stop, it’s a great way to have a conversation with someone else. I`ve got a degree in English literature, so I don’t have one particular favourite genre, sometimes I`ll pick up something different and really enjoy it. At the moment I`m reading a lot of thrillers, which I never thought I`d like but have been really enjoyable. I`ve worked as a scholar, as a teacher aide, and teaching English to people who speak other languages. I really enjoy language in general. I always just think put a smile on your face and be nice to people without over doing it. Being here it makes you a little more compassionate and you have no idea what people are going through."
