@MSharifpourMD I had to switch to decaf in undergrad because of palpatations per my PCP. Probably the worst month of my life, maybe check in to see if they’re okay?
@rbarbosa91 Both suck have the potential to go off the rails. If they inadvertently extubate the patient then I can help switch to using the bronch to reintubate vs make the trach faster easier, bag, call anesthesia, etc.
@WendyHassonMD Every hospital. The magic unwritten policy that nobody can find. I usually try the, “oh I’m sorry I’m not familiar with that policy. Can you show me the policy for my education so I can ensure compliance in the future?”
@rbarbosa91 I think while some patients really benefit from rib plating (pain control, ventilator liberation, etc) this is somewhat elective in that it is not an immediately life threatening process where implied consent can be employed.
There is an IV fluids shortage (0.9% MS & LR) due to hurricane Helene.
Because of the shortage everyone should stop ordering routine maintenance fluids for the next 2-4 weeks.
Because of good medical practice everyone should stop ordering routine maintenance fluids forever.
First month out of training: read six books (four non medicine). Caught up with family and friends I’ve missed. Plenty of time in the hammock. All is well.
@missmedstudent I think it’s supposed to be post match 4th year. I failed to match 4th year and so my fourth year was filled with stress, shame, and guilt after doing away, interviews, applications, debt. Just like all of life it isn’t universal.
