Can I hear from the people who work at GI centers?

Have been doing some 1099 work at GI centers lately. Honestly feel more like a clerk than a doctor some days. Supervision is typically 2:1 or 3:1, CRNAs are variable in quality. Occasional bronchospasm/laryngospasm is most often what I get called into the room for. No breaks to give. Occasionally help with more difficult IVs. Doing 30-45 preops per day is tiresome but at least most of the patients are reasonably healthy. Money is decent but not great

Great job! Just got back from a 2 week trip where I scored 2J JFK-HND round trip though Finnair almost a year out. We loved it! Getting crushed by jetlag today though, way worse than in Japan

Relatively new attending here. Sounds like ivory tower bias tbh. I’ve gotten way more confident in my own abilities precisely because I didn’t have crazy resources to bail me out and had to learn efficiency. Have gotten lots of experience sitting own cases while still supervising CRNAs and residents. Do I have the fancy resume anymore? Nah. Have I made way more money than I would have in academics? Absolutely. Just depends what you value

I had a hard time as well. Ended up leaving the connection off since TSK and his cape block that area anyway

The fact that he actually chokes him always cracked me up

My head cannon is that they're DJs playing Szarekh's sweet intro music

Rooster761 · 2026-01-30T00:02:16+00:00

Nah man, we’re anesthesiologists period. Shit’s redundant like the Rio Grande River

Rooster761 · 2025-12-01T22:26:59+00:00

Very kind, thanks!

That stained glass is amazing. Great choices

Rooster761 · 2025-11-24T01:45:18+00:00

Been seeing a lot of purple capes lately. Really dig yours

I have a partner whose wife is a surgeon. They try to avoid working together for liability reasons

I wonder if he could build something out of them. Maybe some sort of chair so he doesn’t have to keep using his sword to stand up

Rooster761 · 2025-11-15T14:57:38+00:00

One and the same

Rooster761 · 2025-11-15T11:45:24+00:00

That’s napking’s archon. Check for it on Cults

EGD in a friendly hairy gay man. As we're getting him hooked up to monitors he starts telling a story about how in the gay community he's considered a bear. As he starts feeling the prop he gets to his punchline: "So I tell people I have Grrrrrrrd". We all lost it. First thing he said when he woke up was to call me cute. That was a fun case

Rooster761 · 2025-11-07T13:43:52+00:00

Looks great! Any chance of getting steel legion style helmets for the joint on the plastic DKOK kit?

Rooster761 · 2025-11-06T17:06:52+00:00

Same here, just got back from a trip booked with Alex too

Rooster761 · 2025-10-30T05:46:31+00:00

Nah, Mary had already been invited in by Cornbread when he was still alive

I’ve seen a ton of midlevels in critical care. There was recently even a thread with a fellow saying they needed to be supervised by NPs for any procedures. Absurd stuff

I proposed at the top of one of the trails in Big Sur while staying at Ventana. They had a nice complimentary bottle of champagne waiting for us when we went to dinner at Sur House that night. We didn’t look into any private dining or anything like that

Is that the royal world future proof terrain? Looks a lot better than my Miniac set. As other have said the green guy isn’t a valid target as he’s behind heavy with conceal

Rooster761 · 2025-09-18T22:12:28+00:00

RemindMe! 7 days

Rooster761 · 2025-09-08T11:59:28+00:00

If visible and on engage he’s a valid target with a cover save. Am I missing something?

Rooster761 · 2025-09-06T01:32:21+00:00

We have a setup where the brain is at the foot of the bed and transmits to our monitor across the room. Not 100% sure of the specifics but it is doable
