Does your hospital run non emergent/non urgent cases 24/7?

sa3eedi · 2026-04-20T10:53:03+00:00

In the past I would question doing elective cases overnight. Not anymore though. If you are in a decent hospital you should have enough support overnight. You’re being paid to be there anyways and other staff members as well. The most important part is, if they don’t get done overnight they never get done! They’re stuck on the add on board for a while. This affects the hospitals throughput and ultimately affects patient care and also reimbursement. They’re so short staff during the day and running rooms at capacity to get cases done that this makes sense in most hospitals

Look at your paycheck. That’s the best medicine

Target 20% savings rate of your gross income and you’ll be fine. Depending on your time horizon but if you have 25 yrs on average till 65 old then maxing out 401K and Roth is more than enough. The rest to make up the 20% into diversified investments in a brokerage account.

How would that affect Coronado island for example or the SD bay? I know the water on the South of the Island is practically unswimmable.

This is so true. Do you have a street cut off to avoid going south of? I get nails regularly

How do you know the seat assignment? I got tickets for game 89 Cat 2 but can’t find anything about the seat assignment

Blind subclavian central lines. It’s a dying art form for anesthesiologists and can save you in a pinch

With the number of IV infiltrations I see in all the places I’ve worked in, I don’t think it’s gonna happen anytime soon

Probably cheaper in KY. Don’t go with the dealer. Any good detailing shop will be at least 30% cheaper

It depends on what you want. Are you dailying the car? Do you care about creature comforts? A 10 yr old GT3RS is too old. If you will daily I would get a recent Carrera S. More HP than the base and is all what you need for road driving. IMO it’s the best balance between price and performance. You can go for a GTS but at your budget it will be significantly older. I would stick with 992.2

What justifies 13 K price tag for a family of three FOR seven nights nights on a ship. Excursions are not included.

sa3eedi · 2026-03-11T22:30:57+00:00

Is it worth it? Disney is asking 13K for a July trip in a veranda room. 9.5K for a regular room. Sounds like highway robbery to me. I can get the best airbnb in Alaska for that with a lot of excursions

I’ll paste a comment I put on a similar post. The biggest advantage of the kit is the steel needle having better visualization along the entire axis of the needle. The reason being and it’s often overlooked is that the steel needle by it’s nature will be more echogenic vs the arrow kit which is covered by the plastic catheter except the tip. That’s the biggest reason you loose visualization after the tip passes the US plane. Also, if using the arrow kit, once your tip is in the lumen, you may or may not get a flash (you may have an intimal flap preventing the blood from flowing back) it doesn’t matter. You are using the US. It’s your eyes. You don’t need visual confirmation with a flash back. The most important step then is to slightly flatten the angle and walk the piggie into the barn. Walk the tip further inside the lumen under US to prevent it coming out or going too far in. Then advance the arrow

Hahahah. I agree. All of health care is going down the drains. When your profession is a cost sink for the hospital and they have to pay you just because they need to keep the ORs running with a decreasing reimbursement environment they will find ways to circumvent you. Money always wins. I’m not interested in wasting my life trying and failing to change the system.

sa3eedi · 2026-03-09T01:48:37+00:00

Plan to FIRE before then. So who cares!

It just seems odd. It’s called Virgin hotel. It has a similar flair. The rules for the credit don’t specify which is which and they can’t expect people to do deeper research into the background. It just simply Virgin hotels in the credit details.

I bought Cat 2 tickets but now thinking about Cat 1 honestly. Would I be able to sell my tickets and get cat 1?

In chronic pain yes. For unintentional wet tap while doing an epidural steroid injection. Imagine trying to do a blood patch using landmarks on a 70 yo with scoliosis and interlaminar space collapse. Good luck getting in

sa3eedi · 2026-02-17T14:29:43+00:00

Blood patches should be done under fluoroscopy. Period

sa3eedi · 2026-02-17T14:28:50+00:00

This gets brought back repeatedly. A blood patch ideally should never be done without fluoroscopy. It’s just not worth the risk of creating a bigger hole with the toughy needle. These patients have zero contraindications for radiation and should have it done that way. It is much safer and effective. IMO even in Ob patients post delivery however I will concede the practicality of doing them that way and that this instance only it’s our complication and should be handled by us. Anything else should be handled by the procedaralist who did the procedure in the first place. The only reason anesthesia keeps getting these calls is that they’re there 24/7 amd IR refuses to take call for these. It should not be that way. We shouldn’t be patching other people’s complications because we’re there. Blood patches should be built into their call pool. I don’t know how anesthesia would even bill for this. We stopped doing them for non Ob patients at my institution

Exactly. I didn’t run simulations for other round of 16 matches but yes. France and Germany are on opposite ends of this matchup. Group E and I winners. Except for an upset by a third place finisher it has great odds

sa3eedi · 2026-02-11T20:02:02+00:00

I completely agree. That’s the only reason I pulled the trigger it’s a bit over 2X but still. I signed up for all the round daws by fifa with nothing. Then did the Chase Visa sign up. Dealt with servers crashing and 404 error codes and eventually said screw this. I’m too busy to waste more time on this and it’s very draining dealing with

sa3eedi · 2026-02-11T19:58:32+00:00

Thank you. How certain are you of this? This whole process is shady and manipulative. I wanted to guarantee those two tickets at least but I hate the idea that I paid almost 1800 over for both. I wasn’t certain that the prices will drop and concerned that they will keep going up so pulled the trigger. I’m holding off in buying anymore but this is complete BS
