Thank you both for the advice and kind words it helps a lot. In regards to my personal statement ( I have multiple drafts) my listed reason for going into the medical field does not directly relate to the practice of anesthesia but my point of view is that every member of the care team in the OR (surgeons, anesthesiologist) is to credit for the life being saved even if they aren't directly operating on the patient. I just happen to be more interested in anesthesia than the surgical aspect. I am mentioning this because the overall theme of my personal statement is "wanting to save lives and prevent loss" (sounds basic but theres a story behind it). Does my personal statement have to directly relate to anesthesia? or is it ok if it's related to the practice of medicine overall?
