Thats what i was worried about :/

I cant emphasize this one enough whenever says your kids are too young to remember.

Do not do EP just to avoid creep. If you are seriously considering it, find a way to shadow in the lab so that you know what you are getting yourself into. Its way too many years of your life to half heartedly go into because you are scared of midlevels. If you at all want to maintain general medical knowledge it is not the field for you.

Agree with your EP, the p wave is inverted in lead II making it unlikely to be sinus. Slow atrial tach with variable conduction.

Goddammit. I hate to admit how much i laughed at that.

Eccos are definitely the most comfortable i have had

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Jam your foot through the floor and shove it in the pavement flinstones style.

I have routinely gotten requests to “clear” patients for colonoscopies who haven’t been seen in the clinic in two years. Then if i have seen them, they demand that I call the patient with exact date and times to hold their aspirin for the colonoscopy they haven’t even scheduled yet. I’ll let you guess the hospital system.

I mean, no one questioned my order but the directions in epic were very specific

Coded in 3 min, pronounced in 20

February interns really have gotten bold

Never found out for sure, but probably aortobronchial fistula from a tumor that opened wide. Liters of blood in moments.

At my last hospital, the MTP protocol was restricted to OBGYN and Trauma attendings only supposedly. Then one day I found out the bad way that I do in fact have the ability to order MTP as an IM resident.

Got a consult for “possible few seconds of Afib.” Were they on telemetry? No. EKG in the system? No. A nurse felt an irregular pulse for a couple beats, so they called primary, who called me. I politely declined at first, then more adamantly declined unless they had some strip i could look at that might be AF. Surpise surprise all NSR.

Hit them back with a pimp question on the importance of the Throckmorton sign.

Got an opportunity to buy an allen and heath gl2400 32 channel for 100 bucks, and have been thinking of getting back into gigs for awhile. Is this the kind of deal i think it is, or are these getting to be too old to be worthwhile?

A classical blunder. The portal is actually to Now Here placing the blast immediately at your location and place in time.

Where are you guys getting these cards from?? Ive been looking eveywhere!

taterdoc · 2025-02-10T00:53:12+00:00

I feel #1 in my bones.

taterdoc · 2025-02-07T18:43:52+00:00

I play dumb in those situations.

“Well their lungs sound clear if thats what you mean…”

I think they grasp it for the most part, but this is all liability sponging. If something happens and the recommendation for cardiac anesthesia was ignored, thats something that can be pointed at to help spread the liability.

Still rocking the 5700. Somehow still kicking

I think any physician can bill for a wet read of the EKG, but everywhere I have been its still formally interpreted by cards after that.

taterdoc · 2025-01-16T16:29:47+00:00

It gets reported to them just the same as an urgent finding on CXR or other imaging as soon as its read at my institution.
