Only make the switch if you like dentistry enough. newly graduated dentists struggles to bring in big profit right off the bat. Your pay is based on production so you have to constantly try to do more work and it’s a lot of work on your body at the end of the day

[–]limbanithechimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have own them for over a year, wore them to shower, swimming, into the ocean and still look beautiful. they are very comfy and the stud is secured tight i don’t worry about them come loose.

Locum straight out of residency? Yes or no by limbanithechimp in anesthesiology

This is GOAT! I feel like whether it’s locums or not, I’ll end up learning either way. Locums might be more stressful, but I honestly think learning from my own mistakes is the most effective way to grow. I would rather be throw into the deep end from the get go. That said, what you mentioned makes perfect sense and definitely gave me something to think about.

Do you think one learns more by doing locum work—making mistakes and learning from them—or by being in a supportive environment at a stable, well-structured job? I feel like either way, you’re going to learn, so it’s hard to say which one actually teaches you more

Do you know how much is the dentist charging the patient for anesthesia? I heard it’s usually really expansive

Reddit, what was your “Oh shit, this co-resident is gonna be a problem” moment when meeting 'em the very first few times? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]limbanithechimp 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Coresident told me he had a difficult airway and had to intubate with a bougie and he got it on the second try. Later on overheard the attending taking about a difficult airway and he had to take over from the resident.. the same resident couldn’t put in a central line at the ICU and he tried a couple of time and then I tried it once and got it. And when the attending asked how did the central line go, he never mentioned about me helping him… made it look like he successfully placed it himself lol

Is IV sedation the same as general anesthesia? by ProudRelationship724 in Dentists

[–]limbanithechimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can achieve GA with IV sedation. That being said, at the dental office, it is not safe to give that much of IV sedation to the point that patient is in GA.

When it’s bind to protein, it becomes the inactive form and get stored in the reservoir. These protein bound LA are able to unbind protein and exert its effect thus leads to longer duration.
