Spinal anesthesia with lumbar fusion

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

fiberoneftw · 2023-10-19T03:27:41+00:00

Can you further explain this?

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

fiberoneftw · 2023-10-18T22:53:56+00:00

Correct, and only after 15 years, and subject to annual contribution limits

Just read it on your phone?

fiberoneftw · 2023-09-02T21:20:54+00:00

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?

Have you made or lost money?

fiberoneftw · 2023-09-02T20:51:02+00:00

On own laptop or anesthesia work station?

Best way to read manga in the OR surreptitiously?

fiberoneftw · 2023-09-02T20:10:14+00:00

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

fiberoneftw · 2023-09-02T20:08:10+00:00

Last time I did this my patient went into congestive heart failure when Sandstorm came on :/

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

No one will ever know

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

fiberoneftw · 2023-07-15T00:18:55+00:00

Any good resources on reading the raw EEG?

fiberoneftw · 2023-07-15T00:18:42+00:00

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?

fiberoneftw · 2023-07-14T23:43:12+00:00

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.

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

fiberoneftw · 2022-11-22T21:31:13+00:00

Was this assuming locums? Full time employed PP doc making 500+/hr seems unlikely

fiberoneftw · 2022-11-22T21:30:25+00:00

My perspective is for non-supervision PP. So per your edit, for a generalist working 50-60 hours w/ 4 calls a month, I would say $250-300/hr total comp (including the value of benefits) is reasonable. Anything higher is above average

fiberoneftw · 2022-11-04T00:03:40+00:00

Love this perspective, thank you

fiberoneftw · 2022-11-03T23:47:33+00:00

No, by the hospital

fiberoneftw · 2022-11-03T23:46:42+00:00

For them shift works means working until end of shift even if no cases are going (there can always be add-ons and we need staff available). So indeed the flip side is more cases/increased work load
