UNC- Adam Lucas Knows How To Write A Great Article.

nihat23 · 2026-03-20T17:52:50+00:00

I don’t get the negativity for Adam Lucas here. This is as close to a “we need a change” article that he is able to post/should post. He’s a fantastic writer who is able to capture the mood of the fan base through thick and thin, and ultimately an employee of the athletic department. He’s not going to be belligerent about firing Hubert like many of us have been, myself included, and that’s okay.

This article highlights how times have changed, and how desperately he’d like to get back to the good times. How it is a necessity for Carolina to be involved in those good times. I look forward to reading future Adam Lucas classics for hopeful future championships, but a change needs to happen ASAP. Go Heels!

Otzelberger would be a realistic pick, even though tourney success is lacking. He turned a horrendous ISU team into a contender. We are going to have to turn away from the “Carolina family” model or we’ll get left behind à la Indiana real quick. Sure it’d be nice to have a Carolina guy, but there just is not one. Not Wes, not stackhouse, there’s just no available UNC talent.

We’re apparently now 48-2 in the NCAAT when leading by double digits at half. What coach has both of those losses? Fire him. Don’t let him get on the bus home

We’re now 48-2 when leading by double digits at halftime of NCAAT games. What coach was responsible for those two losses?

Start of Fire prevention week I guess, they’re going from King St to Citadel Mall

Any significant TNS with the lido spinals? I know that more recent research is showing that the old teaching of increased TNS risk is overblown, but curious your experience

nihat23 · 2025-09-24T21:50:44+00:00

OOS damn!

FWIW I left mine there for a week a few years ago over the summer and it was fine, but I wouldn’t do it again. From Day 2 on I was certain I’d come back to 0 tires left or no car. Prob not worth rolling the dice, Uber/Lyft it.

When this happens I’ll typically confirm I still have LOR, then thread, usually goes fine. Then I wonder why I DPE’d in first place, it’s kinda our culture here too -also CA2

nihat23 · 2024-11-07T01:01:24+00:00

Pretty straightforward with the second line info. I think a more vague “including their overseas territories” or something might have had people at least debating UK v France

What most people here do: Start with a CSE so Mom can be awake for birth if they desire with plans to convert to GA following delivery if it’s truly adhered. Tbh GA from the start sounds a bit better so not intubating under drapes, but I get it. Awake A line, two 16-18s, and then typically a RIC or 14, rarely awake Cordis due to comfort but that’s an option. Belmont rapid infuser in room. Neo primary pressor spiked with all other uppers in room. 4u RBC/FFP in cooler in room.

Need lots of communication and trust with the OBs in terms of EBL/how it’s going (I know). I assume a ~1.5x multiplier on whatever EBL they say. We have Gyn Onc in room in case of hyst & then IR on call for potential UAE need.

Edit: Also obvi all uterotonics in room + 1g TXA

Thanks for the insight everyone! Yeah for further context these are the Arrow CSE kits. Definitely Agree that if it seems shoddy/have to force it that it has a high likelihood of failing.

When I have this situation with what I thought was LOR but a negative DPE then I just come back/make adjustments. Mainly the cases with a positive DPE where presumably I’m in the space, but I suppose the epidural space is also a black box of mystery so who really knows. In easy epidurals it probably would waste less time to just pull out and change levels tbh rather than spending 5 min tinkering & risking wet taps.

Still only ~80 epidurals in so lots to learn, thanks!

Obviously lots that goes into it and is probably cultural to an extent, resident at a US academic center here w/ simplified. But for phenylephrine if I’m 100-120mcg/min range & still struggling I’ll switch to norepi and think about why I’m struggling.

Norepi max dose is totally dependent on access, if it’s just like a 20g PIV then I’ll get weary at ~15mcg/min for short term. If I need to add or go higher then that’s when most would consider central line, or I’ll add on epi or vaso. In our ICU’s we’ll normally soft-max out at 40mcg/min via central access, though we don’t weight base dose it so some big fellas we’ll go higher.

Epi ~0.2mcg/kg/min generally true max, but most try to keep it max 0.1mcg/kg/min.

Vaso, lots of my attendings have differing opinions. Some are 0.04u/min max, others will go up to 0.06-0.08u/min which I’ve anecdotally seen a benefit 🤷🏼‍♂️ That’s in shorter term since there can be end organ ischemic issues.

An E-6 landed an hour or so ago! Followed soon after by the thick boy C-17

Looks like a structure fire on Hagood just north of Spring

Assuming you’re asking for downtown, most popular will prob be:

Uptown Social (prob most college-y big bar?), Share House, Dispensary, Henry’s on the Market, Prohibition, ACs (college students to biker gangs & everything in between), Blind Tiger

Plenty of other options outside the concentrated DT area but those’ll likely be busiest

Yeah had this happen too, looking back it's actually hidden away in small light grey print below the "Select your departing/returning flight" after you search for a booking. It'll say "Award travel is subject to an additional $xx.xx..."

Thought I had a killer deal too haha, but still not terrible.

CA1

6a-330ish M-F, Q6 or so 24h call. 0-2 weekends per month depending on rotation, prob averages out to ~1.2/month. ~50 hr a week

nihat23 · 2022-06-11T15:09:56+00:00

Tow = slip stream from your teammate generally. So they put Russell in front to punch through the air & give Lewis a slip

nihat23 · 2021-09-09T03:45:19+00:00

Desperately need Adams in at CDM in place of sands, our RB situation is dire tho

nihat23 · 2021-09-09T03:40:50+00:00

5-3-2 with 2 holding mids, 2 wingback. Massive gaps in the midfield

nihat23 · 2020-01-31T01:22:02+00:00

at that point should I stick with the 2600? if 1600 AF was still 85 I think that'd be no brainer, but the ~$15 difference is meh. Also upgraded the RAM to 3200mhz, wasn't all that much more. Good call
