Ahh.. I am starting to really like anesthesia... and now I am confused between anesthesia and emergency.

Posted by James Bond (aka Igor) (aka Igor) Sep 10 '12, 20:31

Today I walked from the nice operating room to the busy, smelly ER with drunks in our resuscitation beds :/
I thought ER had little charting .. but anesthesia has hardly any paper work at all. (The computer now charts all your vitals during the operation).

Ahh

However, I will say, the dude that thought it would be a great idea to put meds into GLASS vials which you need to BREAK is an idiot. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 21:02 5
- I think some of them react with plastics and rubber. Glas is relatively non reactive. -- nm - the liioulu on another nook Sep 10, 21:07 1
  - But there are better glass bottles that you don't break. You just pop-off the top. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 21:09 [Image]
- what is this? i had no idea. -- nm - loosilu Sep 10, 21:03 2
  - This. You literally break off the top. The break occurs at the red lines but it is FREAKING glass. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 21:08 [Image] 1
    - you don't break it at the lines, it breaks lower where it tapers. you can also use an alcohol swab to cover it as you break it. keeps it sterile -- nm - dogbert Sep 10, 21:10
why are you even there? You know you want to be an exotic car dealer :) -- nm - peglegpete Sep 10, 20:37 1
- This is true. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 20:41
anesthesia has mega insurance premiums!!! - loosilu Sep 10, 20:35 2
- They aren't that BAD, plus the group pays your premium (and they still make way more than ER) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 20:41 1
  - it's not a bad specialty at all. Definitely a good future there. -- nm - loosilu Sep 10, 21:02
I dunno ... fuck up once, and it follows you your whole life. Whereas in the ER, a fuckup is generally not entirely one person's fault. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 20:35 1
- I would actually guess that ER gets sued more often. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 10, 20:45
there is a lot to be said for having all your patients being unconscious when you are treating them -- nm - dogbert Sep 10, 20:35
