When do you actually leave the ASC at the end of the day? Our anesthesia group covers one main hospital and 2 surgery centers. At one surgery center, we typically leave when the last patient is stable in phase 2, eating/drinking, pain is controlled, and no sign of PONV. The nursing staff will call if anything changes, but this is very rare. Usually just some nausea.

At our other surgery center, we are required to stay until the last patient is physically picked up by their ride home. Apparently there was one post-op cardiac event in the parking lot around 20 years ago, and ever since then, we stay until the last patient leaves the premises. Is this typical at ASCs? When do you typically le

Anyone having a glitch where their players won’t move and you can’t switch players randomly for 10-15 seconds during matches?

I was playing earlier and everything was fine, then it randomly started happening. Now it’s happening every game frequently and the game is unplayable. I switched controllers, same thing happens. I played the arena and another video game with no issues, so I don’t think it’s my controllers.

Playing on PS4. Started maybe an hour ago.

Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

So you’re scrubbed in for surgery, you’re about halfway through a relatively long case when it starts... 💩. But this isn’t just “I have to shit.” You can tell from the gassy, bloated feeling and also it being Taco Tuesday that this is definitely gonna be a multi-shit process; like half an hour at least — possibly diarrhea. What do you do?

I’m sure we’ve all been in these types of situations where you can’t really leave immediately — you’re scrubbed in for surgery or a procedure, you’re about to present on rounds, you’re in anesthesia, or some other situation. How do you deal with needing to poop for >5 min when your attending/team/patient needs you to do something right now?

If I can fe

Can someone please explain how chest tubes work or provide a link to a good video explanation. It’s one of those questions that at this point I’m too embarrassed to ask. Also any tips and tricks are appreciated.

Edit: thanks for the great responses. Much appreciated.

I’m a PGY-1 in Anesthesia, and I was looking into buying job-specific disability insurance. I’ve read what the white coat investor has to say, and it seems to be in favor of getting insurance early since the rates will be lowest now, and I currently have no health issues. I wanted to hear from residents/attendings that chose to buy or not buy disability insurance and why. Also if they had any tips for buying disability insurance? Are there any scams out there or mistakes that I can learn from? Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

I work in a hospital, and I walked into one of my patients rooms today. She’s been here about a week for a heart failure exacerbation and chronic renal failure. I guess she had some visitors recently, because she had tons of inspirational pictures/posters on the wall. They were super religious which is whatever. If it makes her feel better, and remain optimistic then I don’t really care. However, these posters had the absolute worst messages. The gist of them can all be summed up from my personal favorite which read word for word:

“I started trying to fix all my problems myself, but then I heard God say ‘stay out of my business.’” (Picture depicts a strong/knowing female character).

PRL has seen a lot of growth in the past few days. Even with the market stabilizing just below 400 billion, it appears PRL is one of the biggest movers. Up 29% today and actually positive on the week for once. The trading volume has also increased quite a bit from 700K to 1.1 million. If the market continues to rebound and Testnet B is successful, PRL could really jump in price. Hopefully there will be more exchanges soon too. I know price isn’t the only important thing, but it’d be great to see PRL finally start to gain steam. That will allow for greater adoption when main net launches.
