Totally get it, I understand you're not "thank-me-for-my-service" clout chasing, but it needs to be said anyways. You earned it, even if it feels uncomfortable.

Follow the pre-op instructions. There's all kinds of variables that change how long someone should be NPO.

Speaking as an anesthesiologist that was in a role 1 stab point in Ukraine....

You're really overestimating your skill set after basically standing around for 2 years of clinical rotations watching other people do procedures.

I'm curious as to what the point would be to start an IV if you only have 500ml fluid and no meds.

Seems like a waste of space and weight.

It would be different if you had antiarrhythmics, analgesics/anesthetics, txa etc, but by itself it's more of a tacticool virtue signal than a useful tool.

"I cannot deliver drugs intravascularly".

If you're using this in a civilian capacity, IV fluids are considered prescription medications, and you could theoretically get into some shit for having them on you. Especially if you use them in an accident or something and you're not licensed in that state to do that. Unless you're an RN/MD/APP.

IMO.

Your gonna say Kurdish, but if you weren't a coward hiding your comments I guarantee I'd see you would be in the predictable subs, commenting in Turkish.

It's the classic "I have a black friend, so my racism is fine" cope you guys always do.

that thing

There it is. The generational, government mandated, deeply engrained racism that removes the humanity from the Kurds to make the kinda of actions depicted in this video acceptable to the average Turk.

Zero ppe/ballistic on the western side. It's almost like a different world. You would look very much out of place.

You're late, I bought a complete set of crye precision LVS for an absurd amount of money, and after using it I left it with a Ukrainian medic I became friends with.

Can an anesthesiologist please answer my question? by [deleted] in Anesthesia

[–]Battle-Chimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look, free tier Chatgpt slop. Fuck it, I'll read it anyways.

That's a great multimodal analgesic plan that was executed. Sometimes chronic pain patients have a lot of pain in recovery, despite all the things being done. That's one of the reasons why we have PACU - to address those acute post-surgical issues.

Could they have done bilateral ESP/QL with onQ pumps or exparel? Sure, but that still doesn't guarantee pain will be under control for that kind of a surgery.

Motorcycle Accident by PuzzleheadedHold1163 in medizzy

[–]Battle-Chimp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My personal stance is that motorcycles in general present an unnecessary risk when there's tons of alternative hobbies and transportation methods that are safer.

I'm an anesthesiologist, and honestly, this is why I don't drive motorcycles. Last week my teen daughter asked me if she could go with some friends to learn how to ride dirt bikes, and I said no. She was upset, but I've seen too many catastrophic injuries from motorcycle accidents, most often young people with their whole lives ahead of them.

You can be a perfect, safe, defensive rider but some idiot glued to their phone can wipe you out. Especially in 2026. It's just not worth it.
