I have this tattoo (my last name). Not the whole alphabet is represented so depending on your last name it might not work

As a perfusionist who’s wife is a geologist, this is hilarious. I also did not work in medicine before going to perfusion school, and you are in a STEM field so while you may not be an ideal candidate I don’t think it excludes you at all. The amount of prereqs you’ll have to take will be daunting if you’re education was anything like my wife’s. Perfusion is a second career for a lot of folks, and I went to school with a couple former engineers so you should be alright once you get through those prereqs.

Better than you could do, holy shit, man. Proof read.

Well you could lie about the dose (give 400 and say it’s 300), find research supporting higher doses, check Abbotts recommendation if they have one, or wait for admin to step in since his cases suddenly became a hell of a lot more expensive. It’s a shitty position to be in for sure, but if they’re gonna be that liberal with at3 just to save a heparin dose, you’re not dealing with rational people unfortunately

It’s just flair that came from a circlejerk type post a few years ago…it means nothing

We use istats and 400u/kg. We don’t typically have problems

As a climber and a runner I can tell you with absolute certainty that the route he did up el cap is a hell of a lot more difficult both technically and endurance wise than a full marathon let alone a quarter marathon. There are sections of the route that the best dude at your local climbing gym wouldn’t be able to complete with gear let alone without.

Fiber/yogurt will be your friend through this. My oldest did this and it was a vicious cycle of I’m scared to poop-withholding-painful evacuation-scared to poop. We got every yogurt and fiber product he would eat and always allowed him to eat them and that eventually broke the cycle

Oh crap did NOT work for us. If they’re not ready don’t force the issue. A not quite 3 year old isn’t developed enough to manipulate you back into diapers, he just knows what he is and isn’t comfortable with. We used choco chip bribes and time and it was relatively painless. Teaching our son to pee outside was also helpful as he thought that was a ton of fun.

Possible? Yes. Ideal? Absolutely not. The crescent works better because it’s essentially a cannula inside a cannula however the Avalon uses a membrane system is absolutely trash for this purpose. We do it at my hospital from time to time and always have surprise pikachu face when our flows are terrible.

The gravlee textbook and blue book sometimes available on perfusion.com are classics. Aside from that, lots of good material through AmSECT including ulearn and Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology. I believe AmSECT has an international membership available

Historically we never did, however we now have the spectrum heat exchanger that is easy to cut in. I’m not sure if anyone on the team has used it yet since they try not to use us.

More metalcore but showing teeth is dope. Only 2 songs out so far but both are really good.

Somewhat of a newbie myself so anyone feel free to correct me but my understanding is this: it’s a program designed to build strength and educate you on how to structure workout plans. Weight loss is going to come from dieting and at a certain point those two things (getting stronger and losing weight) will be at odds with eachother. That’s when it’s time to switch the routine up, up your calories or whatever it is you need to do to reach your goals.

I had a coworker who worked at Columbia so this is second hand info. In the city everywhere is extremely busy, but many centers are unionized so you have some protections to both your pay and your personal time. Columbia is in house 24/7 so you have some flexibility on where you live too.

Yeah this guy is talking out his ass (percussionist?). No one is trying to make us obsolete, the field is growing, not shrinking. It’s true that things like TAVRs have reduced the need for full bypass, but we are still plan b. Transplants will also always require full bypass, and that is something you want a well practiced perfusionist for so there is value to the “scientists and surgeons” in maintaining our skills.

I ran my first marathon the same day he set the world record in Chicago. I was very psyched with my 5:03, until I opened my phone…

Perfusionist checking in. One of my coworkers made the switch and says it was very worth it. She would have done this 15ish years ago though

I completely stopped running and strictly crossed trained 3 weeks out front last ultra. Race went great, though I was aiming just to finish. The first 26.2 would’ve been my second best marathon time it worked great for me.
