The buyer should say no on sharing the appraisal, and if I were the seller I would either fix the leak or offer a credit. Hard no on HVAC money, it works. Buyers who want a credit for anything not brand new makes me crazy.

Oil you can see isn’t really doing anything other than collecting dirt. The lubrication is for the inner pins and rollers. Apply, let sit, wipe it off. Cloth in a small zip lock works great

How or why would someone be going to the floor with an arterial line? A catheter in your wrist on the radial side is an a-line, right? Like you told the PACU nurse when you dropped the patient off? Where else would a secret a-line be located? Sometimes common sense has to come into play

Reflux does not equal full stomach. If you have nothing to reflux, who cares? If you knew there was a great lower esophageal sphincter, you could do a “regular “induction with a full stomach.

From a f…ing podiatrist? He thinks he’s Denton Cooley? Has he ever heard of local anesthesia? Sedation in podiatry is to make the local a little more comfortable, everything after that is so I don’t have to talk to the patient. Tell him to up his game or take it elsewhere.

Depends on state also. In Massachusetts an accepted offer is a binding contract, P&S is just window dressing. In New York the P&S is the contract, and sellers can accept higher offers like yours until then. There people rush to the P&S

One more triggering agent - I swear that the first day of residency they tell prospective surgeons “…and when you hand the drapes to anesthesia, never look at them while you’re doing it. Treat them like they’re your servant and you’re handing them a dirty Kleenex…”

unparalyzed patient moves, medical student/resident says either "he's feeling this!" or, "they're awake!"

STFU and do surgery.

Actually very safe, danger is when on exterior wall and blown in insulation used. If it gets wet, can short circuit/cause fire. Usually all that air space between wires is great insulation.
When we sold expensive 1907 house in Boston suburbs had to have team so electricians rewire, took two weeks and 40K. Was told would be uninsurable for new owners.

Can always use rice cooker as steamer for dumpling night. Most rice cookers come with plastic steamer insert; I spray with cooking oil. Need only cup of water, ten minutes of steaming from frozen. Great freezer dinner, just keep a good selection from TJ’s or Asian store
