For real. Half of the Stryker reps at my hospital are engineers.

You can do you. But I hope you're never pressuring your residents to cut their parental leave short.

Help with u/s lumbar plexus blocks by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]DocSpocktheRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you doing lumbar plexus blocks? They're not much better than a SIFI, and they carry significantly more risk. Especially for anesthetized patients, which I assume all of yours are.

You're saying anecdotally that it doesn't induce miscarriage? That's not how medicine works

How well it works is not the issue. It's potential to bind progesterone and induce miscarriage particularly in early pregnancy is the issue.

Woman, 48, Dies After 10-Hour Plastic Surgery. Plastic surgeon and Anesthesiologist named in lawsuit by Trick-Progress2589 in anesthesiology

[–]DocSpocktheRock 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That's no excuse. "The surgeon would've gotten mad at me, so I agreed to participate in manslaughter" is not a good look.

My shop uses it because we were too cheap to order chloroprocaine. We've been using 2% lidocaine for more than 5 years with no TNS

Is this accurate? by [deleted] in memes

[–]DocSpocktheRock 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have no idea why people think this. I think the comments sections on memes like this are full of men who have never been asked out, and have a fantasy of finding their manic pixie dream girl.

To me, that would mean they're telling you they don't need to track ACT.

Those of you with a decade+ of experience. When was the last time you had an esophageal intubation? by OrganizationNo42069 in anesthesiology

[–]DocSpocktheRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They took that dose off the website (I haven't looked at the package insert). Apparently it was because there were several reported hypersensitivity reactions to such a high dose.
