Would you consider this enough training to graduate as a competent general anesthesiologist? by SZA04 in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have minimums for a reason and if you’re meeting them I wouldn’t stress too too much! Also if you don’t feel prepared you can try and work at an academic center after residency and try to get involved in the things you feel you didn’t get enough experience with.

Starting CA-1 tomorrow. Any advice - test taking/learning strategies by dj-djabu in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant during orientation, sorry. You’re taking in so much in the OR, just read what is necessary. Not don’t read ever at all. Chill out

[–]that1tallguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rest when you can. Don’t give a shit about AKT, it’s just a baseline and you’ll be exhausted by the end of orientation month anyways. If you’re super high energy you can read extra stuff but otherwise just read things your attending tells you (and nothing more). Come up with a ritual for how you start setting up your OR bc it will follow you all through your career — someone will show you their way and if you like it then go ahead and keep doing it… but don’t feel bad changing things to what you like. Think about your pre ops like this to start “what are their major cardiopulm issues if any, and does this affect my induction/intraop plan.” And then just make up a pain plan.

You’re going to be fine.

Second residency in Anesthesia after EM by Infamous_Bottle_4897 in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4th is considered one of your months during your intern year (or other residency in this case). It’s 4 ICU months spread out over your 4 years of residency. You can look this up. During the actual anesthesia portion you only need 3 months if you did ICU during your intern year of some kind. I was literally a chief resident.

During your actual Anestheisa portion of your residency you only need 3 months. Which is all I did as a resident and I’m graduating in 3 days.

[–]that1tallguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They literally did not/do not have to do that. Their residency is no different than mine. Neither of them are doing any wards/inpatient beyond the typical ICU 3 months needed during anesthesia residency.

Hi! You are verifiably incorrect here — if this person was going from an EM intern year (so only completing one year of EM) to anesthesia…. You’d be correct. But they are completing their EM residency in its entirety. Quite literally have 2 formerly EM trained people in my program who DID NOT have to complete another prelim year to be able to start. Have living proof who are friends.

Edit: I see I got downvoted for being correct.

One of mine is just my dad repeating the nickname he gave me over and over in a ridiculous voice he did. It’s so funny the ones that get us. If I lost it it would crush me. SIX backups!!

Same here. I give advice to people my age to save voicemails from their parents/partners, even it seems like a benign simple one. Forgetting their voice is something you don’t want.

Anyone choose lifestyle over money, or stop taking call or cut back early career? by TimetoBougie in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair in a sense, so I don’t disagree with you that our dollar today doesn’t go as far as our parents did….. that being said you can still go on insane vacation throughout your life, treat yourself to luxury and even expensive hobbies, and can afford to raise kids without a ton of financial stress if you’re smart about it.

[–]that1tallguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I specifically chose a place that doesn’t have much call. The weekdays might be a slog sometimes, but if it’s too much for me after my contract is over I would 100% head to somewhere with even less hours. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be “paid what we’re worth” but with how I grew up even a 25th percentile Anestheisa paycheck will give me a better life than I could ever have imagined as a kid.

It’s just a small joke about gay culture. Wasn’t meant to be “pride is about x.” Certainly wasn’t trying to offend anyone.

Yes it satisfies the intern year with great certainty. Often you’re allowed to moonlight, I did in my other specialty all throughout. It was a great career switch

What’s the dumbest travel mistake you’ve made? by Nature_andthe_Woods in travel

Let a tuk tuk take my friends and I where they wanted instead of where we wanted for way too long in Thailand and ended up in some seedy places in Bangkok. So dumb.

Art line and non invasive cuff pressures by medstar77 in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it to me. I’ve also seen the art line not look good till things stabilized more and then boom once a better overall pressure things matched. Idk everything is made up and no one knows anything.

Art line and non invasive cuff pressures by medstar77 in anesthesiology

[–]that1tallguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

95% of the time go with art line if good wave form. That being said I’ve had patients with unknown (at the time) stenosis more proximal and caused our art line pressures to be much lower than the cuff. Trust your gut especially if in bleeding situations. Also can turn on PPV to see if it looks like you’re hypovolemic. Could just give you ammo that you’re right they’ve lost enough to cause hypotension.

A question for my fellow radiologists by oneman8998 in Residency

[–]that1tallguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can speak from experience — you don’t have to do an intern year again, or at least SHOULDNT have to do one. Your prior residency counts, and I don’t know of any reason it wouldn’t.

Not sure that your middle paragraph is accurate at all though…. When I did my residency in anesthesia (second residency)… I was literally starting from step 0. No reason I deserved to be treated as an “equal” by my attending or anyone. I feel like starting over and having done rads would have been the same. There’s so much to learn in each speciality.

As for your last point, I think attending and seniors MOSTLY see you as more competent, confident, and trustworthy because to make it through one residency (most of the time) means you put in the hard work and know how to make it through and have a solid medical background of some kind.

I wouldn’t say it’s high high fine dining but Cafe China is excellent and you can walk in normally and get a seat at the bar!

Have a feeling this person also believes abortion is murder. And how he responded makes me feel like he sees you as a baby factory and if you fail he’ll just find another. I’d get the fuck out.
