Current Position

Institution: Dr. Suliman AlHabib Medical Group – Al Sweidi Hospital, Riyadh, KSA

Role: Anaesthesiology Senior Specialist

Duration: January 2023 – Present

My Role as an Anaesthesiologist

My responsibility extends far beyond "putting patients to sleep." I ensure patient safety before, during, and after surgical procedures.

Assessing patients preoperatively and optimizing their medical conditions
Providing safe and tailored anaesthesia plans
Monitoring vital functions throughout surgery
Managing pain and recovery in the postoperative period
Responding to emergencies and critical care situations

Common Misconceptions About Anaesthesia

"Anaesthesia is just sleep."

It is a controlled, medically induced state affecting consciousness, pain, memory, and reflexes.

"The surgeon handles everything."

Anaesthesiologists are the physicians responsible for keeping the patient stable throughout the procedure.

"Anaesthesia is dangerous."

Modern anaesthesia is extremely safe when administered by trained specialists.

"You don't need to tell the Anaesthesiologist everything."

Full honesty about medications, smoking, or health conditions is essential for safety.

My Vision & Values

My Vision

My mission is to make anaesthesia safer by educating non‑medical personnel and the public. Awareness reduces fear, improves cooperation, and enhances patient outcomes.

I am planning to pursue a subspecialty in Pain Management to support patients in acute and chronic pain settings.
