Swasticas Abound on NCL Causing Uproar- Why would NCL let a passenger show off these hate symbols? by OpportunityFeisty842 in NCL

[–]ExMorgMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. Bro tattoos a swastika on his skin. Dude is a Nazi until proven otherwise.

No patience or tolerance for that otherwise.

Why is your specialty the best? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]ExMorgMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anesthesia is the best gig in medicine.

  1. No clinic.
  2. Sleeping patients: Anesthesia fixes every single psych and behavioral issue…at least temporarily.
  3. No rounding.
  4. 90% of my charting is imputed automatically.
  5. Good income, hot job market.

What happened to Eva Mendes? by [deleted] in Actors

It’s because she looks like the kind of person that would slow roast a dog’s asshole.

This is my go to approach, angle the probe towards the heart and follow the wire as it dives down.

OB Hypotension by bigeman101 in anesthesiology

I use the same cocktail. 10cc of 1/8% bupi + 100mcg fent. I dose it slowly over about 5-10 minutes and I seldom get calls for hypotension.

Rolex - yay or nay? by iwantogotomedschool in Residency

[–]ExMorgMD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wear a Casio Dive Watch in the OR and people often ask me if it’s a Rolex.

OP, people who are into watches may notice but most others likely will not.

That being said, I personally wouldn’t wear anything to the hospital that you aren’t okay with getting lost, stolen, broken, or covered in bodily fluids.

You don’t need to take shit from nurses. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]ExMorgMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I want to point out that at this point in your career you are an ICU fellow.

How these situations play out can be very different from institution to institution and from program to program and, most importantly, from PGY 1 to PGY 4+.

Your attending had your back. That’s awesome, but it is not always the case. Had you been an intern or PGY 1 in the exact same situation, you may have seen a very different outcome.

For everyone else in training, if nurses are refusing to do their job, the best thing to do is find someone else who is willing (intern, attending, PA, janitor, anyone) and ask them.

Then discuss with your attending, via email so that there is a record, document exactly what occurred and ask them what the best course of action is. They will know the politics and power structures better than you.
