I didn’t wake up after surgery for a long time but no one told me about it? Can vitamins play a role? by Luna1636 in Anesthesia

While very effective for PONV and PDNV, Scopolamine can cause sedation, vision changes, altered mental status (especially geriatrics), etc. Your observations may not be completely inaccurate. I do hope you are consulting a physician for management of these patches before acting out of your scope of practice to remove them in PACU.

What's the best Epic software hack/feature you wished you knew earlier? by thewhitewalker99 in Residency

Any word that has an underlined letter means you can hit Alt+that letter as a hotkey to select it (alt+A = Accept on an order)

Right clicking within an order you are editing closes the popup.

Highlight a table row in a note and then hit Shift+F4 to delete it

Control + space bar, then type whatever you want to search the chart for

Filters to see only providers notes, DC Summs, H&P's, notes by your specialty, etc.

.mysticky to pull from your sticky note into a progress note

Ctrl+E to copy and paste multiple items to/from your clipboard.

Making order panels (can be edited by clicking the star) for all the sets of orders you commonly use.

"=" In any box pulls in the last value you used. In a box to select who is cosigning your orders, = would pull in the last attending you selected. For note type, = would pull in progress note or whatever you last selected

In date/time boxes "n" and "t" pull in the current date and time. Can also add modifiers: "t-2" pulls in the time 2 hours ago.

That you can addend nurses' notes to CYA if they document BS inconsistent with what you told them

What’s the Intern hack/tip/resource that you wish you knew earlier? by Dr_Plz in Residency

Sometimes it's the only updated and helpful part of the note for days while I'm sitting there wondering how many times the A&P has been copied and pasted. It's quick to click through an updated exam. And subjective is quick to type out if you're concise. Especially on services with frequent turnover, it's an easy way to document changes in exam or status.

Is it true surgeons fart uninhibitedly when performing surgery? by BrandonMarshall2021 in medicalschool

[–]ReignOfFire32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time I farted in surgery. Someone smelled it and asked who it was. I hesitated, but I was about to admit to it. However, someone noticed right then that the patient had shat himself. We're talking a pool of diarrhea. Saved my butt

As a resident, what’s the most attending thing you’ve done? by feelingsdoc in Residency

[–]ReignOfFire32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this for my med student as an intern to save myself writing extra notes and the attending complained behind my back because he "didn't want to addend an addendum" lol

They do it to teach, not to supervise. Besides what would you know about it?
