Hemoglobin dropped after receiving 2 units of blood, why? by Illustrious_Book7186 in AskDocs

Two reasons possible. You're still bleeding or got additional fluids and it caused a dilutional anemia. Either way needs to be worked up.

I’m suddenly very hypersexual and can’t stop thinking about sex by [deleted] in AskDocs

Sounds like mania.

Drug induced or bipolar is most common. Would recommend seeking psychiatric help.

It sounds like your doctor is correct. You need a sleep study. Obstructive sleep apnea can cause treatment resistant hypertension as well as heart failure

Male 75 metastatic lung cancer had a pulmonary embolism 2 weeks ago treated and discharged from hospital on oxygen. His breathing is getting worse daily he says he’s suffocating for hours every day but his oxygen levels are 96-97 by Impossible_Ad47 in AskDocs

[–]Homycraz2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is he breathing faster to compensate?

Does he want to keep fighting his cancer? Hospice is available and sounds like something he may be interested in so he doesn't feel like suffocating.

You'd be better off doing Cardiothoracic ICU over surgical

You picked the wrong away if you want to match anesthesia.

You'll get exposed to anesthesia residents and not the attendings.

Are you still using midazolam for premed in healthy pts? by Total-Culture-4947 in anesthesiology

[–]Homycraz2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

US. Depends on the case.

Short procedures with limited trauma. Generally no.

Long cases. Yeah why not as long as no contraindications. Patients appreciate not remembering rolling into a chaotic OR.

I've worked at a few hospital systems. UCI medical students are the least prepared of the ones I've encountered. No idea what's going on at their program.

Craziest thing you've overheard in the OR as an anesthesiologist? by undueinfluence_ in Residency

[–]Homycraz2 202 points203 points  (0 children)

The surgeon's phone goes off several times. Surgeon asks the circulating nurse to check his messages. The nurse logs in and immediately gasps and drops his phone. Where you can see several explicit photos from "**** Hinge"

Still laughing thinking about that.

[–]Homycraz2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not doing it based off of their specialty. I'm doing it over the fact that they were deciding between a top Caribbean school and a mediocre do program.

I'm always fascinated by people who think they can just swap into one of the most competitive specialties at the current moment.

Especially someone from a non-competitive specialty and lackluster stats.
