Will a Doctor help ya out??

Will a Doctor help explain something to a RN if they ask for help? For example: I would love to be a CRNA someday, do you think I could ask a CRNA or even an Anesthesiologist for help to a question I might have regarding that field of medicine?
Hi johnny depp23:From my experience, doctors are humans. Some will gladly help you and others will not. If you run into the latter kind, do not take it personally... Maybe they had a rough day, etc.. If you are fortunate to get the former kind, please be sure to say thank you and let them know how much you appreciate their help.

Why would they not just because they're doctors?

Depends on the individual physician, but, generally, yes.

Why not ask a CRNA if you can shadow?

My docs will love to teach, as long as you ask a question when they are not crazy busy.

As long as your timing is right and the question is fairly simple, then fine.Use your common sense. During a code is not the time to ask about work, as you can imagine.

"During a code is not the time to ask about work, as you can imagine." funny!

Nah, but on more than one occasion I've talked about what we were going to do for lunch during a code.

Depends on person, not title.

Op, most doctors love airing their knowledge! Ask them intelligent questions and they will love you to bits-even the crusty ones!As for asking questions in the middle of a code.... none of the (thankfully rare) codes that I was involved in allowed time for asking unrelated questions....

I try to ask non-urgent questions when they aren't in a hurry, but most MDs are pretty willing to answer questions.
