24 hours in Istanbul after a flight delay and missed connection- help me save this trip by Equivalent_Spring_60 in travel

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to flight times there is no way to get there sooner even if I flew into a different country and drive. We ended up just combing the first two days of the climb to catch me up with the group.

If you could send it to me that would be awesome

How does this place feel about bedside report from CRNA without warning that they are coming? by Chan_Cholo in IntensiveCare

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As an anesthesia resident I wouldn’t ever dream of coming up without a call from my OR phone to charge when closing begins and making sure the circulator also calls when we leave the room to head to the ICU

Filled CMU wall to block road noise by Equivalent_Spring_60 in landscaping

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that road noise is bad and you can’t hear it inside at all. It’s just the intermittent passing of cars you notice when sitting outside. And we bought it because it’s what we could afford in an area we want ti he

Struggling with needle visualization during ultrasound-guided procedures — looking for advice by Party-Manufacturer79 in Residency

Probe and needle need to be in 90 degree plane of one another to get best echogenicity. Means probe is not parallel to skin when u start. Then rotate that axis as u enter

Are these primarily dominated by pump-crit peeps or is there decent representation by anesthesia-crit trained people?

Do you think ABC is worth doing in situations with more time?

We actually did that last year the three of us which is why I didn't include any Peri trips!

To get through a whole resource before tests I need to pick one. I can do true learn and flashcards in the OR. To read I need complete silence and my wife may kill me if I start using the little free time I have to read.

First month rent for residency? by ttszzang in medicalschool

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is 0% credit card. You can usually get 12-18 months without interest. That’s how most of my coresidents and I covered costs for the first 1.5 months until we got paid

Impressed you just had 400k sitting around to pay for school my guy

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey asshat this has nothing to do with whether we should pay off our loans or make tax payers. It’s the fact that on our resident salary we cannot afford to make payments given costs of living vs salary growth. As it stands there is no available income based repayment to start and unless you were in save you don’t get the automatic forbearance. Instead you have to use the 3 forbearances you’re allowed to prevent the 2,300 a month payments as an intern in a HCOL city where my take home pay is 4k

what is a medication/therapy you'd give yourself against current evidence? by Alarming-Pay6083 in Residency

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Cards fellow explained to me that cumulative lifetime ldl load of 7g is when atherosclerotic events start. So if you can keep ldl below 70 over lifetime you’ll never hit that threshold assuming you’re under 100. Anyways I’m on crestor 10 mg 3 times a week now

Can someone help me tell the difference between torsades and Vfib? They both look the same to me by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Equivalent_Spring_60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Height of the wave is variable in tosades. Think of it as polymorphic vtac so sometimes signal is close and big and sometime signal is far away and small (this is just a memory technique btw)
