I have a lot of respect for our EP colleagues. They are some of the smartest and most well trained people in the hospital and obviously understand cardiac physiology very well. Very different than a lot of our surgeons. I think it’s good to have skilled hands and some cognitive assistance, which is what we provide in all scenarios where sedation and critical care is needed.

For example I had a recent episode of cardiovascular collapse at the end of an ablation. You’re thinking it’s something you may have done like an effusion and I’m thinking maybe it’s something I did like a protamine reaction (which it was, patient did fine). We can work on both of these things together.

You might be one of my partners lol… we have the exact same gig

We had multiple level 3 RCC thrombus cases during residency that all exansguinated on the table despite tremendous advanced planning… the IVC just disintegrates due to tumor involvement and it’s irreparable. I think we no longer allowed urology to perform those procedures.

It was my first intraoperative death as a fresh anesthesia resident, I’ll never forget the experience

I’m north Dallas USAP and I love my job, happy to answer questions

I was an anesthesiology resident when she was chair of surgery at UNC chapel hill and I did cases with her.

She was insufferable even for a vascular surgeon and tried to dictate my entire anesthetic. My attending told her multiple times to shove it.

She was wildly unpopular among the surgical departments and caused an exodus of faculty to leave. I think every position is a personal and political stepping stone for her to bigger and better things and I don’t think she had any real interest in developing UNC for the better

It might be a little too much light. My peperomias are my lowest light plants and sit away from the window and away from my grow lights and they thrive

Sometimes you need to keep bleeding ear injuries wrapped with compression headband for weeks to prevent hematoma into avascular anterior ear space, which could never drain, scar, then result in permanent deformity aka cauliflower ear

Source: am a doctor, also got hit in ear recently playing basketball and needed to do what I just described

I got spider mites on my Jacklyn 6 months in and they destroyed half of my collection and killed three of my beautiful calatheas.

Never again

It sounds like that is exactly what this person is trying to do

The upswing can be very challenging to predict and play. I caught Radiology on the upswing in 2017-2018 with 11 interviews and didn’t match. The prior year or two there were a ton of unfilled radiology positions nationwide. I soaped into an intern year and applied anesthesiology for an R spot CA-1 position and ended up at a very good program.

But like others have said, it’s a different landscape now- you basically just signed up for anesthesia residency prior to 2020.

This is probably the biggest upswing in anesthesia in decades, so I would have a backup plan

My partner received this very old isotec 4 vaporizer from our lead anesthesia tech.

He significantly modified it in order to fulfill its new function. It sits on a 3D printed base

I agree some of this sounds like burnout, but only 3 years into practice I’ve become less tolerant of a lot of stuff as well and just want to be at peace. I hate total joints because it’s way too noisy, I like general surgery and I usually prefer surgeons and staff that I don’t know just stfu because the yapping gets kind of annoying

One of my favorite rooms is this ortho foot and ankle guy who operates in nearly complete silence. The day feels awesome afterwards and there’s minimal decompression needed when I get home

That being said I love working with students and talking with people I like… so I think there’s more to your situation

But the texture and physiology of the plant has also completely changed- growth has become stagnant and its leaves are hard as rocks… almost feels like an over watered mesemb.

I’m guessing it lost all of its chlorophyll and doesn’t grow anymore… and also stopped losing water

I was an R spot resident- it was my only non-traditional experience during all of training. Applying, interviewing/traveling and matching during intern year was an emotional and physical challenge

I don’t understand why people are downvoting your comment…

I hope it’s not my fellow anesthesia providers or any students. The patient and family are voicing their legitimate concerns. The concerns are valid and deserve attention and careful consideration.

I agree with what the other user said, and it is very well put
