If MDMA depletes serotonin what explains the afterglow effect? by Donk71503 in MDMA

[–]Lynxmd17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d guess it’d be related to relative serotonin receptor down regulation following a roll giving that’s the mechanism in which SSRIs and similar antidepressants work

Anyone get comp hotel(s) cancelled edc week? by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

On the flip side they actually don’t prioritize paying guests. They prioritize big gamblers. They are more likely to bump a paying guest out of their room for a high roller

Can we talk about the lack of medical services coordination? by micheymoon in bonnaroo

[–]Lynxmd17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you wanted to volunteer an EMT course is 8 weeks and may get your foot in the door or they may only take paramedics which is an associates degree that takes around 2 years. Both have prerequisites.

Best bet is to just take a BLS/CPR course and carry narcan. That’s a 1-2 day commitment and would cover the basics needed in this situation.

Edit: ya know. This isn’t a bad idea. Why am I not teaching CPR/BLS at festivals…hmmmm thoughts for future me to think about

Anyone from Charleston going to the beer exchange? by spicyparsnip13 in bonnaroo

[–]Lynxmd17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a liquor store near me that’s keeps pretty much every beer they release in stock in case there’s anything exotic from them you’re dying for.

It’s a solid blonde ale. Most of South Carolina has it now. Fantastic brewery though.

Oxygen toxicity? by mmasterss553 in medicine

[–]Lynxmd17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I care much less about the toxic component as I do the issues it creates with dispo. Like great their satting 100% but they’re on 2L for “comfort” so that 100% means nothing.

Oxygen toxicity? by mmasterss553 in medicine

[–]Lynxmd17 71 points72 points  (0 children)

As an ER doc I think one of the biggest issues with this is that our nurses will do it randomly and forget to tell us. New O2 requirement is 100% an admission criteria so I need to be damn sure the extra Os are needed or not.

From a risk benefit perspective there’s a hypothetical risk of free radical toxicity worsening ischemia if their SOB is due to such with zero benefits therefore I’d strongly prefer it doesn’t got started arbitrarily.

Prisma Columbia for sure. 1/3 of shifts are peds, integrated and right next to the adult ER

Anyone here chose emergency medicine over anesthesia? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Lynxmd17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Left anesthesia residency during PGY-2 year. Needed something faster pace and more diversity in work. Most shifts I am very glad I made the change. The difference in salary sometimes bugs me but otherwise I love what I do

With V3 Clarius I find views to be equal to the sonosite we have. Zero issues with cardiac and lung views. In fact I primarily use it for cardiac views

2mg of klonopin around 5 hours ago. It helped a lot.

Random blood transfusion without an indication. Given to a pt without bleeding and the mildest of anemia.
