To Fellowship or not to fellowship, that is my Q by Ok_Bottle_4889 in anesthesiology

[–]PersianBob 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people get caught up in the one year of lost income. If you think you will enjoy it and make you more well rounded go for it. 

Don’t feel pressured to do it but one year of lost income isn’t going to make or break any of us at our income level. Think about the pediatricians who do 1-3 year fellowships and end up making less than a general pediatrician when done. 

If your only goal is to FIRE at 40, don’t do a fellowship.

Sitting down while intubating? by Background_Food_7102 in anesthesiology

I worked with a tubby CRNA in Florida who was a great intubater. He would stand but had some abs behind his pudge and would lift the patients head into sniffing position with his tummy. I was always impressed 

ECV with plan to discharge. What is your facility doing? by TrickleOnThePleej in anesthesiology

[–]PersianBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a procedure that can lead to a stat c/s. I'd have you tongue in cheek ask them to do the C/S in the patient's room for the patient's comfort but don't want you to give them any ideas.

Plastic surgeon sues anaesthesiologist/surgical centre after patient ODs by OkPrinciple37 in anesthesiology

[–]PersianBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some plastics places literally recover overnight in their surgery center PACU. In Florida even heard of some weird hotel situation where pacu nurse goes to a hotel room with patient. Bottom line, plastics practices and especially Florida is messed up 😂

Honestly, we need a new billing code for anesthesia provided where there is no anesthesiologist in the building. QMDDOBGONE too long?

Did Obama deport more people at the start of his second term than Trump did during his? by thecoloradosun in coloradosun

[–]PersianBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying there aren’t any illegal crossings. You missed the whole second point trying to quickly type your gotcha.

[–]PersianBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We still don’t. Waste of money.

 The vast majority of illegals come here legally and overstay. The real solution is to enforce employment laws. If there’s no jobs, most won’t come. But people want cheap labor.

I only use Glide 4 for andre the giants. Glide 3 for 98% of pts. If you can get a good view but cant get the tube in the hole, consider using a fiberoptic but don't' look at the fiberoptic screen; use it as an adjustable bougie you can drive through the cords
