    this is big boy college football.  6'3" isn't tall enough to be an effective offensive lineman.  it's 2025.

    This is a stupid take. 6’3.5” is plenty tall enough in the college game for interior lineman. There are so many more important traits for 18-22 year old offensive lineman than height.

    I thought that the gall bladder was a top thing to check with women when they have health issues?

    Plenty of Surgeons everywhere who love to take out your gall bladder if you sneeze.

  3. Well I meant that he's still alive and they are reducing oxygen 

    ICU nurses usually have a generic order to wean oxygen for O2 saturations greater than 92-95. It’s doesn’t really mean much unless you know a lot of other variables. 100% oxygen can lead to oxygen toxicity. Unless you know what his hemoglobin level, O2 saturation, Arterial blood gas analysis, and what vent settings he is on, this doesn’t tell me much.

  4. Sometime today they should start trying to wean him off of sedation. If they can start doing that and he doesn’t start having seizures it will be very encouraging. If he starts seizing that is indicative of serious injury to the brain. At that point they will do a cerebral blood flow scan to evaluate perfusion or what is most likely a lack of perfusion….

    Possibly. Depends on a lot of things. For example, whether or not he was put on a hypothermia protocol, etc.

  5. If you have something different speak up. The general consensus has been, "Don't worry about breathing in, stay on chest compressions."

    This is true for 1 person rescue. Don’t stop compressions to breathe when it’s just 1 person. If there’s more than 1 person, send someone to get help. Then, when there’s 2 people available rescue breaths can be performed at the recommended ratio.

  6. I can add some confirmation to this. My ex is an Anesthesiologist and several times said if she could have a do over she preferred being a CRNA. She said less study, work hours and professional liability. Enough pay to keep her happy and they aren’t stuck 24 hours in call room at hospital. A lot of them do locums and enjoy a great life.

    Yes it’s great to call yourself a doctor (DNP) when it’s convenient and then be just a nurse when shit hits the fan.
