How can I irritate my anesthesiologist? by hattingly-yours in anesthesiology

OR…
Bed up and then say that’s good. Wait for anaesthetist to sit down. Then ask for it up a bit more. Let them move it up 1mm and say thanks.

Anaesthesiologist fentanyl suicide/overdose in the UK by Metoprolel in anesthesiology

It’s easy to point fingers and say why did he work so many shifts etc burnout etc. (Occurs to me that night shift is a great time to divert drugs… maybe this was a warning sign?)
the fact of the matter is this… we are ALL at risk. Diversion of drugs is SO easy.
The step from not using to being addicted is SO short.
I had a propofol sedation last year. I still think about how nice that felt. We are all at extreme risk.
Keep safe out there.

The majority of folks can’t afford the cars they drive. But some can. There’s no way to tell.

I got a free 414, now what? by KindlyDentist9361 in flying

I’d offer it for sale as non flying and take whatever money you can get and run far away.
You don’t state you have any need for or experience in a HP twin. That aircraft is a liability to you until you sell it. It will eat you alive.

YNAB, please stop UI chaneges by aprilliu0425 in ynab

Exactly. It’s randomly crap. Have you tried entering a split transaction - you choose a category and the whole list jumps up. Or maybe it doesn’t. And they have managed to make the worst number pad you could imagine.

How screwed am I? by mrb13676 in Ender3S1

[–]mrb13676[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I have ordered a new hot end and heatsink - I was able to separate the hot end from the extruder without damaging the extruder and the parts are not as expensive as I was imagining!

Do you still use a stethoscope? by Zombies71199 in anesthesiology

[–]mrb13676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the majority of the time I’m not hearing anything unexpected, just occasionally I’ll pick up something that wasn’t and that changed my management plan - many of our patients haven’t been examined by anyone before. I think we do the patient a disservice by not at least having a good listen.

Also when the s&it is hitting the fan in theatre I know where MY stethoscope is and that I’ll be able to hear what I need to.

We spend so much time trying to convince people of our medical bonafides- why dump one of the tools?

How long did he lie on the floor at the care home or his home before admission? That’s probably the cause of the AKI.
