Excellent! When my youngest (now 19) was 11, he became such a huge Weezer fan. We’ve seen them twice since then, and I’m impressed by large number of parent-child combos enjoying the shows right there with us.

I enjoy the Endoscopy Suites at my hospital, but only because they have a full anesthesia setup similar to our operating rooms (theatres), plus the GI docs are willing (and able) to do the most high-risk cases in the main ORs. The other remote locations I could gladly live without.

Troops are going to test as low, because stress does that, and being deployed in wartime is stressful. Then they’ll be offered testosterone, which will suppress their ability to make it, and they’ll become infertile. Then some VA doc will be stuck telling them it takes 12 months to reset 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Superb thread. I especially recommending following the links to the author’s formulation of the Reverse Centaur phenomenon, which I fear will be the future for all anesthesiologists unless we fight back against it.

A 40-year-old unvaccinated woman in Pennsylvania has just died from measles. There is no controversy. She needlessly died from a disease that is preventable with a vaccine. But HHS Secretary RFK Jr. thinks measles isn’t that bad. Nobody should die of measles in the United States.

The 40-year-old woman, who was from Jefferson County was unvaccinated, according to the coroner. The state health department is conducting a "thorough review" of the case.

I do. I end my pre-op discussion with side effects and risks, and I mention organ injury (“like heart attack or stroke”) and death as risks. For low-risk patients, I add, “but those are very unlikely.” For high-risk patients, I add “but I don’t think they will happen.”
