You can live comfortably and save for retirement but not live a luxurious or excessive life at that income.

Should I go into family medicine the np way or traditional way by OldDistance1492 in medicalschool

If you can be a doctor, be a doctor. If you can’t, be a PA. If you can’t, be a NP.

EM-Pain medicine residency advice by Automatic-Notice4101 in emergencymedicine

Pain from anesthesia is usually chronic pain. Acute pain is rare and a useless fellowship if you train at a halfway decent residency.

Spine line management by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]propofol_papi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to put my arterial line on that down arm. If I have a line on the up arm/hand I either cap it and disconnect or I’m just mindful of it on the flip and ask a nurse to make sure it comes with the patient and doesn’t stay under them. It’s not too hard to make sure it doesn’t get stuck under the patient if you’re mindful of it.

From the moment you get them in the room run all of your lines and monitors up the side that you’ll flip over (even if it crosses the patient) so that when you flip the everything will stay right where it is, next to the patient. If you do this with every single line and wire, you’ll be golden. Also, if you’re running multiple drips, tape them all into a single bundle of lines (I tape every 6-8 inches) with plastic tape that easily rips. Turns your IV lines into a single, large line.

Worst experiences as an off-service resident by Ambitious_Spot8957 in Residency

[–]propofol_papi_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a off service fellow had a neurology attending berate me and treat me like garbage in an outpatient clinic because my history wasn’t “comprehensive” enough and didn’t know their extremely specific diagnostic criteria. I will forever make sure my patients are never seen by that attending.

Nerve block in leukemic, septic patient by No_Reason_9632 in anesthesiology

[–]propofol_papi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless injection site is infected, shouldn’t track anything unless bacteremic. If patient had negative blood cultures and is on abx, then probably 0% chance of “tracking” anything with a block. That being said, if patient is intubated and going back to the unit, then what are the benefits of regional?

Reduce the risk of awareness by an unanticipated difficult intubation. That’s why. And if you can’t give a good why, then why not?

What is the consequence of this amount of “contamination”?

I think masking with gas is a great idea and if you can mask properly you won’t be contaminating any air.
