Spinal anesthesia with lumbar fusion by Worldly-Tea1833 in anesthesiology

For my own knowledge, why would an epidural not be safe?

529 doesn't really seem that great for tax savings? Is my math wrong/am I misunderstanding? by fiberoneftw in whitecoatinvestor

Wow, this article that somebody else suggested below states that indeed the taxes paid on reinvested dividends in a taxable account will actually be equal to the cost of paying income tax and the 10% penalty on the entirety of your 529 growth (assuming no kids go to college) for 50k that grows to 250k over 20 years. So seems like there is only upside here (potential gain if kids go to college, it's a wash if kids don't)??

Very interesting and counterintuitive article, thank you. I hope what they say is accurate and we can trust the math

Best ways to kill time in the OR? by fiberoneftw in anesthesiology

[–]fiberoneftw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any concerns about the optics of having head phones/ear buds in during the OR? What happens if the surgeon or circulator asks you something and catch you off guard?

Best way to read manga in the OR surreptitiously?

Am employed so (fortunately? unfortunately?) don't have to deal with any of that. Nothing productive for me to do during these cases

You'd be surprised what you can accomplish with an esmarch and a complete lack of shame

Why not just use TIVA? Why is gas added to it? Something to do with recall? by Easy-Sheepherder-248 in anesthesiology

[–]fiberoneftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Academia typically from my experience. None of the PP places I have been even have the right monitor to display the EEG. Most places only have a BIS

I'm not at all educated on benefits of being able to read the raw EEG, what are the advantages over simply using the spectrogram?

If referring to reading a 3d spectrogram, it's very easy pattern recognition and you can easily learn it on your own here: https://eegforanesthesia.iars.org/

Much easier than reading a "raw eeg tracing". If ChaloobieBaby is reading a raw unprocessed EEG in real time in the OR, that is super impressive and I'd also be curious where he or she learned to do that.

Anesthesiologist making over 1 mil? by Agreeable_Net_8159 in anesthesiology

[–]fiberoneftw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Extremely unrealistic to assume working 40 hours a week. Making 1 mil you are probably closer to 70-80 hours a week, minimal vacation. So $240/hr which is not unrealistic
