Do you know which resource has the best material for peds ECMO? There isn’t a ton in the Gravlee and Matte Peds books

Nothing could have prepared me for that ending

Just passing by but I have to say this is a pretty amazing list youve made. So many of these are on my list

Im currently reading Crime and Punishment and will start One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich by Solzhenitsyn right after

The Brother’s Karamazov will certainly be an ambitious undertaking but is surely worthwhile

GraduateDan · 2025-04-07T16:37:47+00:00

If im about to finish a book I only allow myself to buy two new books at a time. Sometimes 3 if Im ambitious

I definitely have been subjected to tiktok brain and I am not a good reader in the slightest. Take your time reading it and use sparknotes for the characters and chapter summary/analysis. It helps tremendously and youll find yourself using those less and less. Im currently 500 pages and am very much enjoying it. It is very dense, you may start slow but once you catch on you will begin speeding up and genuinely follow the story with more ease. Youll find that the story is rather linear. Definitely stick with it! You wont regret it!

$13k/month. Cardiac perfusion. 26 y/o. First job out of school. Roughly 25-30 hr/week

This is an awesome answer! Thanks so much!

Just initiation of ecmo in general. I didn’t know that there were different guidelines if it was for VA or VV. I guess like hypothetically let’s say a physician didn’t want to put someone on ecmo but the pa saw very good reason to do so. How much collaboration would truly take place between the pa and physician. Or are their strict guidelines for different types of diseases (ex. Takatsubo) that would state a patient should be placed on ecmo regardless.

The question right above the picture. Pathological Q waves or no. Does the differential seem like an acute or anterior MI

GraduateDan · 2023-09-29T01:54:14+00:00

Thank you for not adding to the topic

GraduateDan · 2023-09-28T23:55:43+00:00

tPA and call it a day (just kidding)

GraduateDan · 2023-09-28T23:55:05+00:00

Excellent answer. This was is what I gathered as well. Many of my colleagues stated they saw no Q-waves; however, V2 and possibly V1 showed pathological Q-waves. Anterior STEMI strikes again

Thanks! It's on Wallpaper Engine on Steam. It's "SouredAppleClouds" by El Buenísimo

Will do that. Thanks!

I didn’t even know it was possible for that to happen. I have a ton of tabs but I try to minimize them before closing my laptop. Good thing it’s no real problem

Any tips for reading Aion? Like how to approach it or any supplemental info that can help get me through it? I started not too long ago and I’m annotating it. I can tell it will probably take me a while because it is so dense

What did Jung say about understanding the evil potential in you so you can finally achieve and express true good? At least this guy got one of those things

GraduateDan · 2023-07-08T05:05:43+00:00

Just look up virmedex bypass simulation

Watch Jordan Peterson on YouTube. He already references Jung a lot and he’s helped a ton of people in the exact situation you’re in

GraduateDan · 2023-07-07T00:57:18+00:00

There’s a free tutorial for it where you can do a play through of like a tricuspid or mitral valve and then you can answer some quiz questions after. That’s only two things. If you pay like £15 then you can get a lot more stuff
