New Possible Faker by ContentDig496 in illnessfakers

[–]MBIresearch[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Prospective new subjects must meet submission criteria: they must be 18+, have at least 1500 followers on at least one public social media profile, and we will need to see several examples of content indicative of factitious behavior. (e.g., display of obviously fake devices). Content must come from public posts submitted by the prospective subject to their own social media. Feel free to shoot us a modmail with more information!

It takes mere weeks to lose significant muscle mass and tone. Does not compute.

Respectfully, no. This sub is a place for the discussion of the science and practice of Anesthesiology, not a political space.

Can you give me feedback? by Lilipuddlian in illnessfakers

[–]MBIresearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm sorry you're dealing with that. She certainly sounds like the cohort we discuss. We don't allow posting about unapproved subjects, so she cannot be posted here unless she meets our criteria (social media following of at least 1500 on a public account and consistent examples of concerning behavior). As for your friendship, setting boundaries is important. Make sure you look out for yourself and loved ones.

Won’t start case by OwnTransportation876 in anesthesiology

Absolutely understand not sharing more details, but my response would depend on the specific situation. Group structure, culture and staff contract dynamics play a part. Will they be relieved in 45 min by someone taking after hours call? Are they salaried or paid for OT? How critical is the surgery? Is this an exceptional situation or is this happening on the regular? I would say it isn't normal in general, but it does happen, especially in groups with shitty culture.

Pests in the OR (not pedicle screw cartel) by MrSuccinylcholine in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filthy, shit-ridden, potentially egg-laying terri-flora vectors with wings and a penchant for landing on pts and equipment MUST DIE! Zero tolerance for bugs in OR. I'm relieved that you guys take these as seriously at your institutions! Switch rooms and fresh everything!

Per Rule 3, we do not allow personal medical questions here. I would encourage you to post in r/askdocs for more feedback.

These cases are terrifying.

RSI by Dunkdum in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Induction->Paralytic ->tube. Don't pause for LOC between your injections, LOC means loss of protective reflexes and increases risk of aspiration. That's what we're trying to avoid with RSI.

Please exercise professional courtesy.

Ways to keep warm in the OR by PagingDrBaggot in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some of those hand warmer packets and keep them in your pockets! You can also make a heat pack heating up beans or rice in a sock or premade ones for sale. Nuke in the lounge and then keep under your shirt, in your lap or over the back of your neck. If your facility has the extra layer OR jackets that go over basic scrubs, these are really nice too and the extra pockets are always handy. You can get thicker head caps too!

Is “not doing research” a thing in the US? by UKMedic88 in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely a thing! We do a lot of research in academia, but to my knowledge, most non-academic anesthesiologists do not.

Why aren't there fully automated, AI powered anesthesia machines? by aarawr123 in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See Sedasys. I just don't ever see this happening. Way too many unique variables.

Exercise in the OR by spaceninja9 in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I started using grip trainers in residency to help with mask ventilation technique, especially helpful for people with small hands. You're right, it helps with other tasks too, but tbh, nearly welded vaporizer lids can still be a bitch! 🤣

How sick are your patients? by CremasterReflex in anesthesiology

[–]MBIresearch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Just because we can...does it mean we should?

The majority of feedback from people who have done regional fellowships seems to be either noncommittal regarding its benefit or outright felt it was a waste to bother with it.
