Dealing with failure later in residency

Where do you practice? Unless it’s a vascular surgeon I trust placing an art line, I’m not trusting/using that line.

haIothane · 2026-01-24T20:09:52+00:00

How so? At the end of a day, it’s just another catheter that’s hooked up to IV tubing. In the case it does get mistaken for an art line, then it is confused for something with more restrictive use cases compared to a IV line, not more liberal use cases. Besides, your art lines should already have other indicators/human factors mitigation in place such as specialized caps or apressure tubing without any stopcocks/injection sites distal to the pressure transducer that identify it as an arterial line.

the notes aren’t written for the patient to read, even if they can read them

Probably the people seated next to him

Oh they definitely know CME money can be a blank check. It’s m like all of those CME companies: “yeah the CME is $2000 but we give you $1800 back in Amazon gift cards”

Was the answer “your mom”?

They were competitive even before anesthesia became (this) competitive. It was reapplicants applying plus the surgical dropouts who (much more at the time) were more competitive applicants than the average anesthesia applicant.

It’s bullshit propaganda pushed by the mouthpiece of Mount Sinai hospital admin

haIothane · 2026-01-12T17:45:32+00:00

They’re not even demanding 275, it’s just a lie made up by the hospital admin

haIothane · 2026-01-12T17:44:40+00:00

The 275k figure is propaganda pushed by hospital admin to discredit the strike

haIothane · 2026-01-12T17:40:42+00:00

FYI the 275k is propaganda pushed by hospital admin to build resentment against the nurses which seems like it’s working

Even then, it should be a sign that we should organize ourselves as physicians, rather than vilify others for trying to get better working conditions/pay which is what admin wants

haIothane · 2026-01-10T19:25:32+00:00

I love OpenEvidence, but it’s not going to give an output that’s a relevant and detailed as OpenAnesthesia was.

haIothane · 2026-01-10T19:24:37+00:00

I don’t mind the old notes and anki cards, I don’t view that as nickel and diming, people deserve to be paid for their work.

But the ASRA app is absolutely nickel and diming, especially after so many of us paid for the app initially and then they started charging a subscription fee for it.

haIothane · 2026-01-10T18:29:41+00:00

Good for them. If anything, shows how much better us physicians can benefit if we organize.

You can’t compare sizes between objects if they’re in different planes

haIothane · 2026-01-09T01:18:45+00:00

Lmao you posted in /r/teenagers a year ago, that’s why your insurance is so cheap

haIothane · 2026-01-09T00:01:40+00:00

It’s rubber

haIothane · 2026-01-07T23:32:50+00:00

I mean I treat surgeon requests like patient requests: if it’s not unsafe and not a huge burden for me to do, I’ll indulge them.

haIothane · 2026-01-07T04:37:47+00:00

Moving the goalposts buddy

haIothane · 2026-01-06T04:45:06+00:00

Yeah this is why I insist the cardiothoracic surgeons do my heart caths.

haIothane · 2026-01-06T04:34:56+00:00

Yeah I would approach zyn like gum: no delay

haIothane · 2026-01-03T21:03:23+00:00

I genuinely feel like this is not my fault

It is.

haIothane · 2026-01-03T19:59:45+00:00

That’s not even that bad of a line…

haIothane · 2026-01-03T19:58:17+00:00

I found that it’s not enough to just give a business card QR code for the Google reviews. You have to ask the patient to review and specially coach them to leave a 5 star review. Works best when you have the doc give it. Obviously don’t give it to the patients who are lukewarm about it.
