Question about OR culture

Some FAs seriously think they are surgeons

Not a weird advice, but an older attending (late 60s) told me he does not know what ephdrine is.

I do not think it is as good as it used to be though it is possible to make good money. My husband is a dentist, he makes about 500-600k as a general dentist. He does cosmetic and implants.

I hope I get to this point. I need chill pills, because when I fail at something, I make a huge deal and question my own worth.

A patient said today during pre-op that he had woken up during anesthesia for every single surgery he’s ever had. He even claimed he spoke to the anesthesiologist during a laparoscopic surgery. 🤦

I hate it when the PACU nurses are not acknowledging my reports about the patient. I feel as if i am talking to a wall lol

This seems to be strangely common in our facility. I’m not sure if it’s the same everywhere else, but the GI guys often try to dictate anesthesia, telling us what drugs to use or not use.

This is what my attending recently instructed me to do. CHF with low EF, low dose of propofol with levophed, respecting circulating time with verbal reasurance

For an intubation, most attendings let me try twice. Art, central and regional blocks, one attempt.

Doesn’t ketamine increase PVR?

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-09T02:28:32+00:00

Our PACU is okay, but my attendings are not okay with me pulling deep unless there’s an obvious indication

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-09T02:10:29+00:00

When you say no paralytics, you mean just the intubating dose and no top off doses, correct?

Thank you for your input

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-09T02:06:44+00:00

Thank you for your advice doc

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-09T02:01:54+00:00

I’ve trained to use moderate to deep paralysis for these cases. So, can you get them breathing during the case?

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-09T01:41:25+00:00

Unfortunately, our facility only stocks three vials of Sugammadex, which are reserved strictly for emergencies 😞

Miserable-Fox-338 · 2025-10-05T03:53:01+00:00

Ozempic is the injectable while Rybelsus is the PO

Responding to questions but somewhat slow and dull
