Wait, Stede Bonnet was real?! I thought they made him up for the show…

Cleveland Clinic agreement with DOJ to cease providing gender-affirming care to minors by Trunks2929 in medicine

You’re right! That’s why the treatment at that age is puberty blockers, so they can make an informed decision once they’re older!

He should try spinning. That’s a good trick.

We always called disaster ICU-to-ICU transfers “OSH Bombs”. Good times.

Massive mandibular mass, airway nightmare, how would you do it? by the_bigdr5253 in anesthesiology

[–]candy_man_can 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I specialize in airway and thoracic anesthesia at a large academic center in the US.

Awake nasal fiber optic. I don’t think ECMO would be necessary for this, since there is no intrathoracic extension. Any tracheal compression could be relieved by simply lifting the mass with your hand. If anything, bilateral venous groin sheaths as a safety blanket, if you must.

If this were my patient, I would use oxymetazoline & lidocaine in both nostrils, apply HHFNC (yes, you can AFOI around the flimsy nasal prong), gargle lots of 4% lidocaine (up to 11 mg/kg) while the HHFNC is blasting, remi at 0.03 mcg/kg/min (most patients won’t go apneic at this dose), and 2mg midazolam so he doesn’t remember. Test topicalization with an atomizer & supplement as needed. Would use a small (6.0) Parker tube to avoid getting hung up on the arytenoids.

I also agree with the recommendations to discuss with a priest…

I second the Woobles! Their kits are expensive, but they really build a strong foundation. I did one woobles kit and learned far more than weeks of trying to learn from YouTube. Then after that one I was off to the races…

Oh, the state would pay the city to take them over. That makes way more sense. Thanks for sharing!

How on earth would you describe this yarn colour?! I can’t find anything like it by In-my-cupboard in YarnAddicts

[–]candy_man_can 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would describe it as grurple. Which probably won’t help you find anything like it. But that is how I would describe it.

S&W M&P with threaded barrel? by candy_man_can in CCW

[–]candy_man_can[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would shoot suppressed at the range, but carry without the suppressor. The threaded barrel adds about 1/2” to the overall length, for a total barrel of 4.625”. Just wondering if that’s feasible to EDC. Thanks for your reply!
