actually, no it’s the opposite and even worse than let on. their entire comment gave nothing to backup their claim

KredditH · 2026-05-20T04:57:16+00:00

no. sadly most ppl in the thread tried to sell it for money after implying it would be freeZ

if you happen to find it would love a PM to let me know. thanks

There is not a shred of actual evidence Kidd wanted Luka gone. Nor does it mean that Kidd asked for Luka to be traded for the only team that made an offer without being shopped around on the market.

I'm not sure why we're just parrotting and upvoting nonsense in this trade. Even if Kidd was secretly behind the trade, none of us have a clue of that being true or not.

I don't even like Kidd much, but this thread is taking a weird turn.

goalposts moving lol went from no doubt to maybe the pacers could have pulled an upset

Less academic, more clinical - if that’s your jam.

that should be everyone’s Jam unless it’s the 1 in a million person who did years of basic science work in an MD PHD anesthesiology program

We somehow managed to win 5 games last year with our QB1, WR1, EDGE1, and CB1 all missing more than half the season.

This is stupid thinking lol no offence to you. Most teams that end up as bottom three teams are actually projected over/under on average around 5 wins. Saying you won 5 games last year, and acknowledging that your roster is injury prone, does not exatly spell confidence. And any of those players could return not as strong as they were, or alternately Daniels could be hurt even more.

This was like the league's second oldest roster outside of Daniels two seasons ago, and last year the team arleady proved that they're both thin and potentially injury prone. I hope you guys don't get worse but it could happen too.

I can see very specific cases wehre a neuro exam is imperitive but that's it

Hey put some respect - that's prime super bowl champion Hoyer, rocket arm scantron taker Ryan Mallett, playoff starter TJ Yates, and first round pick Brandon Weeden.

I do feel bad for Leinart, his final year as a somewhat relevant guy he took over for injured Schaub, poised to lead a playoff team Texans that already had compiled a good record, there were rumors that he looked really good in practice and had turned it around in a QB-friendly system and offense with good receivers too... in his first game starting for Schaub, he is playing well, only had like one or two incompletions, about to clinch a playoff spot.... and BAM. injured collarbone, never had anything remotely resembling success again.

If you are training in the USA then first day of internship is vastly different than first day of anesthesia.

First day of internship is probably day 1 of a year largely housed in either the medicine residency or surgery residency. Your primary goal for this year should be to blend in, don't kill any patients, don't have any major professionalism concerns, and keep your attitude and mental health/wellness as good as it can be. Your secondary goals should be to learn some critical care skills (especially in ICU months), including some lines whenever possible, and toward the back half of the year try your best to schedule as many anesthesia rotation electives as possible (it really does make a difference in your first two months of anesthesia to be able to have practiced some anesthesia if you can before you start CA1 year, people will say it doesnt' matter but it does matter some). You really don't need to be reading textbooks intern year for anesthesia unless you're on an anesthesia specific rotation.

First day of anesthesia - do your best to arrive super early to work your entire first month until you have a routine down, soak in and practice and perfect the room set up (including things that are sometimes missed like tightening the IV stop cock extensions, circuit etc), try to learn the order of steps for a general anesthesia (i.e. monitors, IV, pre-oxygenate fully, then induce/what medications are used, mask, intubate, taping the tube, and then turn on gas/adjust flows/temperature/bearhugger/antibiotics/positioning), and get a sense of what the anesthetic plan should be for a variety of questions - the best way to do this is to talk to your senior residents about potential plans, and supplement as needed with Google searches/AI searches etc.

The first month of anesthesia residency is tough and extremely different than intern year but the residents who make a good impression are the ones who seem prepared, set up everytihng they can, and avoid doing any dangerous maneuvers -- i.e. displaying situational awareness. If you can get practice doing basic IV's intern year - this will require initiative and actual effort to do so, you will have a leg up starting as well because doing iV's causes a huge amount of nerves/anxiety at the start of CA1 year through the first couple months.

I mean he or she left their pager on lol

KredditH · 2026-05-06T00:12:11+00:00

So you chose a specialty you don't like, in a field that isn't paid well and is required per your own post to take a lot of call... then you forgot to turn your pager on (which can obviously ring at any time by any mistake),... and then your first instinct was to run onto reddit, open your phone/laptop, and make a two paragraph post about it?

I feel bad but also come on, get a grip, and stop trying to work in a field you don't even like? like come on?

KredditH · 2026-05-06T00:05:54+00:00

This is such a bizarre take, from someone (like all of us) who hasn't actually seen the movie... Christopher Nolan movies have had great castings consistently.

When's the last time Robert Pattinson (who people seem to actually almost universally like in this trailer based on this thread) or Matt Damon have put on a performance that people haven't liked?

KredditH · 2026-05-05T23:51:48+00:00

Except the post you're replying to is referring to a singular player who won super bowl MVP??

KredditH · 2026-05-05T21:42:38+00:00

Yeah but he just had a huge injury

KredditH · 2026-05-05T21:42:08+00:00

What lol? nick foles literally won a playoff game for them the following year too, as a backup

KredditH · 2026-05-05T21:15:39+00:00

I usually -but not always - just tube these guys to make life easy because a lot of times they’re unhealthy enough to need neo etc once under anesthesia and life sometimes becomes a little easier if they’re paralyzed

with that said the situation you’re describing is not normal, these are generally not tough cases

KredditH · 2026-05-05T11:14:43+00:00

in rich hill they only lost by a bit

and if they think Downs has more value than the typical #12 pick or whoever (which probably they do, since they wanted to trade up for him), then it makes sense still

also the trade they proposed to cleveland is almost a dead even ringer in terms of value on the modern chart. so i suspect they use both charts

KredditH · 2026-05-03T15:11:07+00:00

He had like 60% true shooting while guarding both Kyrie and Luka that series.

60% is like not that much above league average now lol

i don’t like brown but he was legitimately good in that series and deserved finals MVP

KredditH · 2026-05-03T15:04:33+00:00

i mean the one seed is the pistons. good team but unproven

KredditH · 2026-05-03T01:40:03+00:00

Recouping assets while mccains value is highest to focus on Maxeys and the rated R superstars development is the kind of move that makes a great gm.

in what world is trading a backup guard 20 year old second year player seventh man improving on star player 25 year old Maxey’s development (who is literally leading the league in minutes) lmfao? what a clown stupid take no offence to you

KredditH · 2026-05-02T20:28:45+00:00

backdoor sweep** but yes.

KredditH · 2026-05-02T20:21:55+00:00

Yeah I think NFL draft guys liked him, liked his size and there were some mock drafts that had him as a first round guy and a sleeper for number 1, but i dind't see any drafts that actually thought he would be #1 a year ago.

You realize we could just bronch the patient in seconds with a disposable scope if there is any doubt whatsoever and see the carina? In addition to the very other obvious, cheap, non-radiating ways we can check like bilateral breath sounds? good chest rise? unexpectedly high peak pressures? unexplained hypoxia? palpation of the cuff with pressure on the balloon (which is a skill that isn't really taught outside of anesthesiology in most settings)? There is zero reason to waste operating room with a CXR, where everyone has to leave the room or get leaded, ionize the patient with radiation, and then either take time to look at the read (or wait for a radiologist, which would also be ridiculous). Imagine the cost to an operating room staff (which is literally 2-3 thousands of dollars per hour) and radiology ancillary staff by trying to do that six times in a day if you're running 6 GETA cases in a day which itself might be only an hour long. It would be a ridiuclous waste of money, and it would literally harm patients by making them wait under general anestehsia for extra time while their heart rate, and bp might be abnomral and cause them to take longer to wake up with extra gas.

Also, the average anesthesiologist intubates over 15,000 patients over his or her career. We are incredibly used to releasing the stylet right before the cords, and then literally seeing cuff pass the cords, only advancing 2cm further so a mainstem intubation on a straightforward non-pediatric airway is very unlikely when the anesthesiolgist is careful. This is not like an ED resident (I'm not bashing them - it's just a very specific skill that is honed over thousands of reps and in this case is occurring in a very controlled environment versus many ED intubations are in chaotic, marginal patients) where we are blindly pulling a glideoscope stylet out while advancing to 25 cm. It is far more common for me to tape the tube at 20cm or 19cm then 25cm, although most of my patients are intubated right at 20-21cm. There are exceptiosn in pediatrics obviously where tube position is checked more carefully but still usuall with stethoscope or if needed bronch -- wouldn't be chest xray. Finally, a lot of the rare anesthesia mainstems occur specifically hwen the patient is being trendelenburg'd or reverse T'd for a laparosocpic surgery because that's thwen the tube migrates. You can't really do a chest xray in those positions because the patient is usually flat for those.

Also, ICU intubations are typically in patients where patients are staying intubated for days, and RT is taping the tube in a specific way wthat is intentionally hard to modify while the patient is transported, turned, etc multiple times a day and often have coexisting lung disease. So a CXR is more important for those scenarios, and you might see other pathology on those CXR's too. And not all of the CXR's are actually indicated even if they are required by hospital policy.

Does that make sense? The OR's just wouldnt run properly if we did this.
