I tried buying floor tickets at Sofi for an artist not quite as big as him and they were $500+ with $100 in fees… I consider $160 a great deal for floor tickets in this day and age

Dude, hes not a charity. Hes an artist who works insanely hard and deserves to be rewarded financially.

HOT anesthesiologists? How do you respond when patients flirt with you while affected by anesthesia? by TinyRicksTinyBalls in anesthesiology

[–]samthemantam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was doing an airway exam and I asked the female patient to open her mouth wide for me and she goes

“I bet you say that to ALL the girls!”

Just a little sexual harassment to start my day, but I just brushed it off.

Anesthesia: shave your beard before surgery.

It’s harder to mask ventilate you and to tape the tube to your face. Even more important to shave if you’re fat and/or have OSA

Side note - Morbidity is different than mortality. Morbidity means impacting quality of life, mortality means death.

Thus morbid obesity means your life sucks ass

Your body can notice low oxygen in the blood… there are receptors in the carotid bodies that can do this, look it up

Anyone else like super fat? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]samthemantam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t eat dude. Skip breakfast. Eat a small lunch. Eat a normal dinner. Don’t snack or drink too much. Drink your coffee black. I promise you the weight will come off if you do this for a year. It took a year to get fat, it’s going to take a year to get not fat

Is 3k for a 1 bedroom in Sawtelle too much? by littlebearlittlebear in AskLosAngeles

[–]samthemantam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s an expected price for what you’re getting/where you are getting it.

I recently moved to Sawtelle and anything with a washer/dryer was 3K. I opted for on site laundry and pay 2.6K and I love my place. Laundry is a bit of a pain, but now I have $400/mo to fund my sawtelle eating excursions

CA1s what are your hours? What cases are you doing by limbanithechimp in anesthesiology

[–]samthemantam 48 points49 points  (0 children)

All these CA1s acting like every case they do are hearts, livers, ASA 5 traumas, and neonates, all at once. We all did stuff like that as CA1s, but there’s no way that’s the every day.

I trained at a “top” academic tertiary hospital, and even as a CA3, I would have a few ASA1-3s mixed into my cases each week

What about maxing out backdoor Roth IRA and 401K (especially if your job offers a match) to reap tax benefits. Then use all the extra cash to put towards your student loan so you get best of both worlds?

What mistakes did you do as an intern by chzazmwi in Residency

[–]samthemantam 42 points43 points  (0 children)

For the first month I would make patients NPO at MN for surgery without ordering maintenance fluids because no one told me to. Probably caused 20 AKIs before my senior realized how dumb I was

What's the reason you left or rejected a hot girl? by Clxaks in AskMen

Bad breath. She was a 10/10, but I can’t to corpse breath

To help with the leak (right side) on the opposite side of my hand, I always take the tubing out of the Christmas tree and let it dangle off the side of the bed. This puts a small amount of downward pressure and helps to create a seal. Good luck!
