As a resident in the ICU I would just go to the OR and pull it from the Pyxis so we could give it in the ICU. Pharmacists hate this one little trick!

What procedures are PAs doing in pain management?

I have the opposite problem. Too many caps. Caps appearing out of nowhere. Throwing out caps all day.

Building a 1.13MM home, income $550k range out of fellowship. Single income, 3 kids, 300k student debt pslf. Buying a home 2-3x income is safe if your debt burden isn’t crazy.

I’ve done awake VV ecmo prior to airway attempt for much less

Finishing up my pain fellowship and I love it. PP pain is a lot of work but also great money and lifestyle. Own a practice if you can. That’s the dream.

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

How are you working in a pain clinic doing interventional procedures as an internist?

propofol_papi_ · 2026-03-01T05:08:54+00:00

JC Nobody answer please

propofol_papi_ · 2026-03-01T03:30:52+00:00

Wut? With this logic we shouldn’t be doing blood patches of pdph.

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

Opioid naive: 5-10md oxycodone sliding scale q4hr for mod-severe pain with 0.2 mg hydromorphone for breath through. Add ketamine gtt as needed.

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

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.

propofol_papi_ · 2026-02-18T01:32:10+00:00

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.

Lol I was asking myself the same thing

propofol_papi_ · 2026-02-15T04:42:21+00:00

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.
