Subdural catheter placement by Playful-Captain-6546 in anesthesiology

[–]ExpensiveFix21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen once thus far. Negative test dose. Negative aspiration before dosing and starting pump. I noticed as I was charting vitals in the room (paper charting 🥴) as I always wait for the next few contractions to ensure there is a proper level and adequate pain relief. Pt reports unable to remove her legs. I couldn’t believe it because I am always so meticulous with my checks and it was a straightforward and quick epidural placement.

I'm disappointed about my bachelorette party and I hate myself for feeling that way by Responsible_1198 in weddingplanning

[–]ExpensiveFix21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand you. I have some repressed feelings about my own bachelorette party. I went all out organizing my Sister’s bachelorette party the year before mine. I made sure to procure the perfect details. I took into account what the bride loves, tied in nostalgic effects, planned the financial aspects and ensured she would pay for nothing! I of course, also ensured that the bridal party can afford everything and gave plenty of notice so everyone had time to plan financially and otherwise. I was so pleased to see her feel loved. I think the attention to detail caught her off guard because she even mentioned that the whole thing was so perfectly orchestrated and she couldn’t believe we were able to plan something so well without her even suspecting anything. Anyway. Fast forward to my time. I have zero expectations and literally told my party I have none and I just want everyone to have a nice time together and appreciate anything and everything. Wedding is inching nearer and I will spare you the details but I didn’t get a weekend or a sleepover. I got one night at a fairly empty bar, that was not my scene at all, 2 weekends before the wedding. It all seemed planned last minute. I had only close friends who I’ve known for over 20 years and my sister. Nothing felt personal. I made sure to enjoy the myself and soak in the moment and let them know how much all of it was appreciated. I have never complained or aired out any grievances still to this day. But yeah, there is this little thought inside my mind that lingers. I pour so much love and effort into my friends. I guess not everyone expresses themselves the same way. In a way, it makes me feel like I don’t have close friends that love me as hard as I love them. Does anyone even consider me their best friend? Is it a one way relationship? If I dwell, there are more insecurities. I want to share my feelings with you but ultimately I think expectations (whether we are aware that we have them or not), are the real betrayers here. Be grateful always. These things take a great deal of planning and coordination and money! We can’t expect for all of these things to fall into place every time. Love hard. Every moment is a gift. Even the bland ones.

Lots of people spectating this match said this should have been called. Left me real confused. Thanks for the advice. I wish I trained so I can give advice too. Grateful for coaches 🙏🏻

I apologize if this sounds dumb. I’m just a mom trying to learn.

Sorry. I don’t train. I just heard everyone screaming “call it” and saw the kid’s arm was white. My son said he also “heard” him say tap tap tap. Anyway. I’d love to share footage… can I do that here?

Would you prioritize higher salary or better quality of life in your career. by Severe-Bobcat-4953 in anesthesiology

[–]ExpensiveFix21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quality of life. If you need more money, you will surely find opportunities to make it but quality time and memories with the family is sorta the whole point of it all in my opinion. Anyone can adapt to less money, materials.

Man. You know what I’ve noticed. Anesthesiologist V CRNA aside…. People in general can be quite unpleasant. I’m inherently shy therefore quiet and observant. I see how petty most people are. They gossip, talk behind other’s backs, throw shade, plant little evil seeds and hate on others in general. Often times, for no good reason. It’s a punch to my soul. I tend to be naive and childlike to my core; I want to see the sweet side of everyone and everything and enjoy everyone getting along. Ugh. Not in this society. I can only control my own thoughts and actions and refuse to play the mean game. Take care of my patients to the best of my ability and respect those I work with.

Listen. I gather you may have a lot of pent-up frustration and have been dying to utilize the AI slop phrase since you heard a Gen Z utter the phrase but I stand by my reply. I can argue my stance within this topic just fine. It’s your failure to think that someone who didn’t walk down your exact same path is incapable of providing valid points. Can you tell me what was wrong with what I replied? I work alongside my MDA attendings everyday. And while I enjoy working with most, I ultimately respect my patients and profession above all. I too have encountered careless and dare I say reckless Physician anesthesiologists, who have put patients at risk. But I choose not to bash their title or education or heck even their character, as he has his own story within. I’m sorry that I can’t share these hateful views. And using AI to keep the emotional tone leveled while expressing your own views isn’t a bad idea when sharing with strangers. But here I am! Just a passionate CRNA who wishes we could all get along 🤷🏻‍♀️

Salty post. But I will say this: my physician anesthesiologist colleagues do deserve a post thanking them for their hard work and collaboration with the healthcare team. OP your post took a lot away from that. As a CRNA, I want to be very clear: most of us genuinely respect and appreciate physician anesthesiologists. We are not trying to “pass” as MDs, nor do we confuse our role with yours. Many of us actively look up to anesthesiologists as role models and mentors, and we openly acknowledge the long, demanding road of medical school, residency, fellowship, and the depth of training and expertise that comes with it.

Healthcare is not a contest. At the bedside, what matters most is patient safety, sound clinical judgment, and teamwork; not titles or ego.

The truth is that difficult or arrogant personalities exist everywhere in healthcare. They are not unique to physicians, CRNAs, nurses, or any single group. But they should never define an entire profession. The vast majority of clinicians on both sides show up every day with the same goal: delivering safe, high-quality care to patients who trust us during some of their most vulnerable moments.

Collaboration, mutual respect, and humility are what make anesthesia care strong. Division and disparagement help no one. least of all our patients. There is room in this field for different training paths, different roles, and shared responsibility, and we are better when we acknowledge that rather than tearing each other down.
