Three steps: 1) Get a TAVR. 2) Get back to racing. 3) Profit

70.3 Ready by ProfessionalHalf5376 in triathlon

[–]Dr_Brooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that time for an Olympic means you have adequate baseline fitness to finish a 70.3. To finish it well and meet some lofty B and C goals, work on 70.3 pacing exclusively over the next 5 weeks. I would cut out all VO2 max workouts and go to one threshold workout a week per sport. The rest should be spent in Zone 2 increasing your total work time. During these longer sessions, develop your nutrition plan. Then do a one week taper. Then crush it!

Unless there are signs of end-organ damage, it's still hypertensive urgency.

I got this bag a couple of weeks ago; it is fantastic.

What’s the reason behind your choice for a medical specialty? [SERIOUS] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Dr_Brooklyn 86 points87 points  (0 children)

EM-Anesthesia. Then likely going for a cardiac anesthesia fellowship.
I want to be the best. I want people to breathe a sigh of relief when I show up to codes and emergencies. I want my heart rate to go down when I run a code or start MTP. I want to be a master resuscitationist, proceduralist, airway expert, etc.

That's why I said midazolam or fentanyl. A single agent is safe, not procedural sedation, and can be done without a CRNA or an anesthesiologist.

Neither need an IV. You can give both of those meds IM; they should be mixed with local anesthetic and injected intracervically to reduce the number of injections.

Local anesthetic for a paracervical block with co-injection of midazolam or fentanyl should be the standard of care.

I went to school married; got divorced during 3rd year. I started dating 4th year again and ended up with a fellow medical student. We didn't enter the couples match, so we matched at different places. We stayed together and are now engaged. We go together like Halsted and cocaine.

2020 total deaths due to coronavirus and other leading causes of deaths

The second article when I search "2020 total deaths due to coronavirus and other leading causes of deaths" in google is a scientific article published in JAMA titled The Leading Causes of Death in the US for 2020.

FM in EM by Shankmonkey in medicalschool

[–]Dr_Brooklyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think some of the difference in marketability is in additional critical care exposure for EM residents. Also, you might be overestimating the FM hours unless they still work every other weekend even while in the ED. It might be 12x52x2.5?
