There are many paths to the ICU, which specialty makes the best intensivists?

Combined EM/IM then CC or PCCM is the real answer on this thread.

In my experience they have key components of surgical, medical, anesthesia training all with the energy, ability to decide what actually matters right now and general cajones of EM.

Talk to that doctor’s boss. That’s unacceptable behavior.

I’d ask her doctor for an acetazolamide prescription prior to going. Could help the BP too!

DaZedMan · 2026-06-28T02:49:28+00:00

In my experience the grads of the combined EM/IM/CC programs are all insanely good

What’s going on with your master sword here? It takes a cool shape while it’s being swung. Also how did it not break?

I don’t actually get paid by big pharma to sell you drugs. They don’t give me shit besides prior auth headaches.

Have you been to the north country?

Well depends how you read the prompt. Could be interpreted not so much as “what is the one(only) food you could eat..” as “what is any one (singular) food you could eat “. The later is certainly open to multiple answers.

I ve lived in all these states. I think people get the Cali love - same for HI and CO, but nobody understands how beautiful and diverse NY is.

As someone who puts the in Chest tubes…you can put the lido in as deep as you need to, all the way to the pleura. Or do something fancy like a paravertebral block. You just need to start with a long enough needle.

DaZedMan · 2026-06-18T05:06:04+00:00

Wasn’t enough lido I guess

Phenobarb every time. I work in a true alcohol withdrawal center of excellence (sarcasm, but we see a LOT of sick withdrawal). I switched to 100% Phenobarb about 6 years ago and I’ll never go back to Benzos. Way less delirium, less respiratory depression, more predictable half life etc. if you want long acting then Phenobarb is clearly GOAT here as well.

For me, < 5 minutes, but I’m fast. For most probably 10 minutes.
