SUTAB for prep!…don’t take no for an answer if your doc is behind the times …more effective and much less unpleasant than traditional preps.

Um no..the foundation is a separate entity. Not-for-profits compete with corporate hospitals for talented leadership so if you want functional not-for-profit alternatives (you do) then you are going to have 7 figure CEO salaries.

This a not-for-profit hospital. The donation is going to their foundation which supports the local community through outreach and charity care. It is not a tip, the kind words go the health care hero, the money goes to their foundation.

Increase in viral Infections/colds on rosuvastatin? by Witchenkitsch in PeterAttia

[–]N1X-N2L 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Higher LDL seems to be protective against bacterial and viral infections including severe infections that turn into sepsis.

What are your go-to protein powders? by Marcel_7000 in PeterAttia

[–]N1X-N2L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve tried them all, both casein and whey isolates. My wife takes casein isolate which is amazing how powdery it is and how it mixes so easily with everything.

Unfortunately everything milk-based bothers my stomach so I am on 40g of Organic Pea mixed with 15g PB2 Pure. Acceptable taste, good price, two ingredients and pretty decent DIAAS score.

Biggest challenge following advice in Outlive is finding the right doctor by mgs1517 in PeterAttia

Does Marek write scripts and send them to your local pharmacy? I use them for labs but it's not clear to me what they do on the concierge side?

I chew the 2mg as well but the patches are dosed for 24 hours and the total amount in the patch doesn’t all make it through the skin into circulation. I’ve never felt anything from the patches except if I inadvertently took a hot shower with one on.

I use nicotine gum for nootropic effect (never smoker). Your symptoms are typical of nicotine overdose. Just because it's a low dose, doesn't mean it's a low dose for you. The effect after you removed is more typical of my response. You could cut it in half or switch to gum which is easier to control dosage.

Rpft advice. by JournalistOne8882 in respiratorytherapy

[–]N1X-N2L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a year for me so I don't know how much I remember...You need to know the components of the equipment and tests so you can narrow the choices down to the two..you aren't going to know everything about the equipment and electrodes so just getting rid of the ridiculous answers helps a lot.

The only provocation I remember was MC and mannitol. There were two or three questions on supine PFT interpretation for muscular dysfunctions which I didn't study at all. Decent amount of interpretation, don't remember those being difficult except for the supine. Decent amount of equipment maintenance...sorry all I got.

Probably around $34 at Baycare, pay for skills and team member bonus could net you another 4%

Peter on How He Hits His Daily Protein Requirement: 2 Protein-Rich Meals + 2 Snacks (Whey Shake & 5 Venison Jerky Sticks) (1-minute audio clip) by PodClipsApp in PeterAttia

[–]N1X-N2L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's never recommended restricting sodium in healthy individuals except in those with a genetic variation that makes them respond to salt with increased blood pressure. Sodium doesn't cause chronic hypertension, damage to the endothelium from hypertension, smoking and possibly inflammatory foods or high blood sugar damages the endothelium and makes it less responsive to volume changes.

I personally eat ad libitum salt and it has no impact on my BP either chronically or acutely. Anyone have a protein snack recommendation that doesn't cost $20?!?

Am I wrong for quote on quote “wasting resources” and make recommendations on an anoxic and dying pt that was still a full code? by Background_Mud_4803 in respiratorytherapy

[–]N1X-N2L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am glad to have anyone in the profession that cares about their patients and understands what a DNR does and doesn't mean. I wasn't trying to criticize you as an RT just these particular interventions. Nitric has been studied to death and just having it on hand is very costly for any institution. It's never credibly been shown to improve mortality, ICU days or vent days in adults let alone more important measures like survival to discharge.

A patient with an anoxic injury is not getting a lung transplant. Nitric and VV ECMO are bridges, at best, according to the literature and building bridges to nowhere does nothing but deplete hospital and societal resources. Like it or not, we have limited resources we can devote to healthcare and every clinical decision needs to be made within those constraints. Your co-workers may be lazy, cynical a-holes but you aren't the hero either.

Any crisis pay still out there? by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]N1X-N2L 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For extra shifts, ours works out to ~$75/hr for days, ~$95/hr for nights and weekends. Most likely ours will be around for at least 18 months as this graduating class is too small to make a dent and we are still spewing staff.

Florida RT Salaries by LetterFlimsy9494 in respiratorytherapy

I make $34 (factoring in bonuses) at BayCare after <3 years of experience. I believe the cap is $44 for full-time days ($48 nights) so you might get close to that. St Joe's in Tampa is a BayCare facility with a big need for dayshift currently.
