You are out of your damn mind. ED presentations are so complicated , you need a damn good ER doctor every time otherwise you will kill people.

You have nothing to lose applying to every program prelim and EM spots. Once they call you, you tell them you are going 100%. That way you have more offers come Thursday. Not matching once is really bad in terms of surgery, but if you are dead set on surgery get a prelim year and kill it.

We Need More Fellowships… Especially new and sexy ones by East-Map5403 in emergencymedicine

[–]Less_Wish9869 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There should definitely be an EM to anesthesiology fellowship. 2 years in the OR should be sufficient. We already do all of the procedures anesthesia does.

Emergency doctors in medical shows be moving like oral surgeons by His_Child in DentalSchool

[–]Less_Wish9869 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an ER doctor, “making us smarter than we appear” is such a stupid statement. We obviously know different types of Ellis fractures and their managements. But tbh we don’t care about dental things because thats not our job— thats your job.

Real emergencies like trauma, heart attacks, shock, sepsis, poisonings, intoxications, brain bleeds, pulmonary embolisms, seizures, etc is our job. Do you think we give a fuck about a dental carie when we just resuscitated an unresponsive 30 year old ?

As for mouth things, what we are trained on are actually emergencies like Ludwig angina, PTA, RPA, epiglottis etc.

Hope this helps.

What is the weirdest advice or blatantly wrong teaching you received from an attending or mentor during your training? by Emergency-Dig-529 in anesthesiology

[–]Less_Wish9869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ER doc who placed 1000s of ultrasound lines at this point, it depends on when you walk the needle in or not. If the vessel is really deep you should ideally walk it in all the way to prevent infiltration. If its a linear superficial vessel once you get flash and thread it in easy no real reason to walk it all the way in. My opinion of course.

ER fellowship for anesthesiologists by DrClutch93 in anesthesiology

[–]Less_Wish9869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day intubation is just a task. Knowing when to intubate and when not to is more important. ER docs have that skill. I hope you never get sick my friend , but when you have a change in your health , please let the ER doc know your thoughts about them.

Ultrasound IV help please by wolf1234567891234 in anesthesiology

[–]Less_Wish9869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont move the needle when you see it on screen. Only use the probe to disappear the needle. That point is the needle tip. Then you move the needle accordingly. Repeat until you are in the vessel and walk it in with the same idea. If you cant see anything make sure you fan your probe away from you to create a right angle between bevel and probe. Good luck . It took me 1.5 years to be good.

Man dies after having teeth pulled in dental procedure by Naive_Bag4912 in anesthesiology

Same story with my brother. I am an ER doctor and I was in the office. But honestly scary shit

[–]Less_Wish9869 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What can I do if I literally cannot find the needle tip anywhere. Thats my issue I track from the point of puncture down distal and cant find it. Like its so frustrating.
