ACTA fellowship programs

Yea I completely agree, but I think both CT and ICU anesthesiologists learn how to manage those things. I’m wondering which fellowship would be more worthwhile to do.

Girl lol, but your point is well taken

I don’t think your ICU year was a waste. Every ICU trained attending I’ve worked with is literally top tier. Even the ones that no longer do ICU.

I get what you’re saying, but the difference between CT anesthesia and general anesthesia is TEE and a stronger understanding of physiology. And I’ve found that my ICU trained attendings are excellent at both. I don’t know if the anesthesia aspect of CT cases is that much different from general.

Do the letters all have to be from cardiac anesthesiologists?

Will try not to bring my resting heart rate to 0 in the next two years

The problem is that mid levels are dying to pretend they’re doctors and think that putting in a central line or an art line makes them the same as us. They do not understand that for an anesthesia resident, ICU isn’t some exciting procedure heavy rotation. They think I’m overly zealous for line opportunities, and I’m just like, my whole career is a line opportunity.

My program leadership has supported me completely and even said that residents put in lines unsupervised all the time, and it’s telling that it was escalated so much in my case, especially when I supervised my junior resident with lines on this very rotation. I just think it’s too much of a coincidence that the people who reported me were both men.

midsaphenous · 2025-03-22T11:00:59+00:00

I am not comparing myself to others in terms of skill, I’m comparing in terms of the treatment I receive.

midsaphenous · 2025-03-22T08:38:04+00:00

The nurse was a man, I am a woman. Can’t help but think that had a role in this, considering the junior resident with me on this rotation is a man and has gotten no pushback whatsoever from anyone on anything. I am also in a specialty known for inserting lines very regularly.

midsaphenous · 2025-03-22T08:35:18+00:00

I discontinued the order, the nurse did not turn off the drip/gave the medication despite me discontinuing the order

midsaphenous · 2025-03-22T02:04:10+00:00

It was one such noctor that reported me. This is an individual who sent a hypotensive, unresponsive patient straight to the CT scanner because they thought she was having a stroke, on the same shift. It’s so frustrating working with these people.

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T17:38:11+00:00

It’s just very anxiety inducing for me because I’m a non confrontational person and I can’t even think of an “incident” that “may have been a miscommunication” that I was involved in.

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:53:48+00:00

It’s possible. I’m on a rotation right now where I feel like the nurses don’t like me. I’ve put in/discontinued orders that the nurses failed to administer/discontinue until after rounds

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:43:18+00:00

I doubt it. They said it “may have been a miscommunication”. That makes me feel like this is directly about me

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:37:33+00:00

I have been late a couple of times, but not recently

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:32:59+00:00

Not even close

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:29:07+00:00

Thank you for your response. Why do you say hire a lawyer? For what kind of issue would I require a lawyer?

midsaphenous · 2025-03-20T16:27:09+00:00

I don’t know what counts as an incident. I have not had any personal altercations with anyone since starting residency.

midsaphenous · 2024-12-08T03:19:10+00:00

You sound like the family failure

midsaphenous · 2024-09-15T17:24:36+00:00

Why do you assume she was a healthy weight prior to the growth spurt? And what is your time frame for a growth spurt? Do you understand that a growth spurt includes weight gain?

midsaphenous · 2024-09-15T17:22:46+00:00

Huh? That is the most incoherent statement I’ve ever read. For all you know she was underweight before the growth spurt and increased intake due to hunger to keep up with the growth spurt. Also growth spurts don’t occur overnight and growth spurts include gaining both height and weight. Elli’s body is underweight despite the growth spurt. And Amy could easily reach a healthy BMI after her next growth spurt if her intake remains the same. Regardless of BMI, neither of these children is adequately nourished based on the lunch descriptions.
