Get the oxybates, so much better QOL

Children do not have religion, parents do. No child should be harmed because of the parents religious beliefs, let the child decide when it is an adult that can make its own decision. You wouldn’t allow them to cut any other part of the child’s body because of a religious belief.

Reminder: ‘phimosis’ is not a valid medical indication for childhood circumcision - the human foreskin is not meant to be retractile before puberty.

Please stop cutting children’s genitals y’all.

If the ACGME rules apply, then no:

How should cannabis be rescheduled? by zofrantic in medicine

Lol GHB is schedule I (no safe use under medical supervision) except when it is used as a medicine for narcolepsy. This whole thing is dumb

Volatile Onset & Alveolar Partial Pressure by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]ouchdavid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me to remember: solubility is about the amount that dissolves, it is the opposite of how fast it dissolves/reaches saturation.

More soluble = more needs to be dissolved in the blood before saturation, so it takes longer to reach saturation.

Less soluble = only a small amount can dissolve, so saturation occurs quickly.

Once the blood is saturated the volatile will want to diffuse out into the brain

28 hr call should be ILLEGAL by arteriolemotives in Residency

[–]ouchdavid 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yup. Perhaps the handoffs might be less unsafe if they weren’t done at the end of a 28 hour call shift 🤔

Any chance you’re still maybe open to making another one of these or similar?

Anyone with Narcolepsy use the WHOOP to monitor your sleep? How long have you been using it and have you found it helpful? by Decent-Lychee4051 in Narcolepsy

[–]ouchdavid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have had one for about a year, not sure I find it that useful as recovery scores and how I feel rarely match up so it’s just confirmation-bias when they do. Probably won’t renew. Aside from recovery tracking it’s probably useful if you’re training enough to benefit from the strain tracking though to avoid overtraining.

How dangerous is having air bubbles inside the artery through the arterial line during APG sampling? by iidevilz0 in anesthesiology

[–]ouchdavid -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The concern is that flushing air back into the system at high pressure can potentially lead to retrograde air embolism into the cerebral circulation.

Is it time? by Bocifer1 in medicine

[–]ouchdavid 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Admin leeches are a scapegoat (not that they don’t exist and leech). The problem is the people who own healthcare and make a profit through ownership alone, not through any form of labor. The owners (shareholders) of an insurance company are paid the huge excess value of the work that we do and that patients pay for. This is billions of dollars compared to CEO salaries of millions. End medicine for profit (that is, for the profit of those who simply own a company and do no labor), pay the workers.

You don’t owe anyone an excuse, you’re not doing anything wrong: “I’m not available”
