why are you moderators not removing threads that have nothing to do with anesthesia..such as wines, Obama, carbonite etc...this stuff can be discussed elsewhere..this forum should be about anesthesia related issues!!

This forum has always been open to discussing ALL aspects of the daily life of an anesthesiologist or an anesthesia resident.
The things you mentioned are part of our daily life among many other things.
I actually find discussing wine or politics extremely informative on the cultural backgrounds of our colleagues.
 
did I ever show you guys my pics from May when I crashed at the track?

I think this was the corner where I went down.

I actually like this forum the best. It's realistic and not loaded with fluff. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. While I may not post much, I do browse this section a lot and I find it very informative. For someone who doesnt like wine apparently, you sure do know how to whine.

Thanks guys/ladies for all your anecdotes and advice.
 
I can correlate all these topics to anesthesia. Whats the problem? Have you been on the other forums lately where moderators rule with a heavy hand?

Thats not how things work here.

This forum is not an ANESTHESIA TEXTBOOK.

Rather, its a REALITY SHOW.

Ever watched a reality show, Slim/Slimette? About the DALLAS COWBOYS? COPS? HOGAN KNOWS?

All the people in those reality shows have jobs to do. Their jobs are important. But they're humans too....so those shows show their families... their time hanging with buddies... their outside interests....

I'm a moderator.

Most people that visit here are on their way to being an anesthesiologist.

And I'm an, uhhhhhh, ANESTHESIOLOGIST.

I've posted prolifically about my job.

Cases. Business aspects. Contracts. Partners. How to mature as an anesthesiologist and learn to pick your battles. Airway issues. Regional anesthesia. ETC ETC....

BUT THERES MORE TO OUR LIVES THAN WHATS BETWEEN THE PAGES OF BABY MILLER.

I think its enlightening for my premed/med student/resident colleagues to read about what me, Noy, Mil, UT, Zippy, Plank, and other attendings do with our time away from the hospital.

Its enlightening to hear CF DAVID, a med student interested in anesthesia, talk about his views on politics and business....or to hear about his non anesthesia experiences as a med student.

Its SPIRITUAL to see pics posted of my colleagues in their personal lives....NOYAC THROWIN' A TWENTY FOOT SNOWBOARD ROOSTERTAIL...MIL LEANING INTO A CORNER ON HIS RICER.....NOY'S MIKE SINGLETARY DOG...

Its FUNNY to read Zippy's posts....both anesthesia related and non-...

THIS IS A FORUM ABOUT WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST.

I think this forum divulges more about the personal lives of medicine than any other forum here....and...uh....Slim....your life will eventually change in priority, all-the-while maintaining your professional worklife....

DON'T LIKE THE STYLE HERE?

WANT US TO DIVERT MORE TO A LECTURE_SERIES TYPE FORUM?

Sorry.

We are all human as well as being anesthesiologists here.

I encourage you to embrace the smiles, humor, and reality we bring to our readers about our professional lives AND our lives outside the hospital.

cute kids jet. apma, the single worst thing you could do to this forum is remove all the non-anesthesia related material.

Wine is a GABA-A agonist...
Obama's presidency will change the way we're paid and practice anesthesiology...
Carbonite was used to "anesthetize" Han Solo.

There - happy?!
 
hahahaha! Loved the bike. You've got yourself a good photographer.

How about this for hobby

The reason I love this forum is the same reason I get along with anesthesiologists: they're serious when they have to be, but still know how to have fun. I've seen anesthesiologists at my institution go from comedic to life threatening seriousness back to comedic in 20 sec flat. Surgeons on the other hand.... I'll just leave it at that.
 
absolutely. Crappy picture actually-it was only the image done from the portable in the O.R.

does this count as a close and personal shot? :meanie:

Looks like some macabre construction site accident with a framing gun

OK, now I understand why you were so interested in epidurals.
I hope you are getting better.
Can you still ride?

well my dear, absolutely was for sure. Had a few issues recovering and going thru those slightly uncomfortable procedures. Good doc, great drugs and we are now on the right track.
And yes I will be able to get back to riding tho I was last -screwed-😱😀 10 weeks ago so I'm afraid no riding until next spring.

Good luck :luck:
 
Correctamundo! All three are from the 2nd pullout. 1 and 3 are the black corridor, middle one is the magic bus. I've gotten very comfortable with having red rocks 30 min away… it's going to rough moving away 🙁

I bet, I can only improve my situtation, as I am in TX. You can always choose your residency based on climbing situtation hehe. But I can understand what you mean. I've never done multiple pitch, but that's ok since I like bouldering more 🙂 ... although, if I lived 30 min from Red Rocks, I would give up bouldering.
 
You wouldn't be able to go climbing out here. You wouldn't make it the rocks. To much wildlife *cough* kitties and bears to eat you before you even have a chance to see them coming. I'm sure they would leave your gear behind tho 😉
MMD I'll exchange you the bike for the horse. How about that for a good deal🙄

I'm afraid of large animals....I did my fellowship in Charlottesville , VA.....where they brought Christopher Reeves after his little accident.

I'll stick with my iron horse.

probably easier to keep clean to...

Just chill. We love our forum the way it is. The diversity is one of the reasons I read this forum every day. Slashdot, The Register, online comics (penny-arcade, xkcd), e-mail, and the SND Anesthesia forum. That's what I read daily. What, in the OR lounge we only talk medicine?

We have the 2nd largest resident forum on SDN so other people aren't complaining.

more useless chatter....less anesthesia knowledge

Thats a sick bike.

Is it a K 1200 sport? How much do these go for?

I'm sure going to try and land someplace with geography, but my board scores and DO status make someplace flat and snowy far more likely. I'll probably end up building a bouldering wall to keep my sanity and grip strength intact 😀

Noyac, that climb looks like it has a wild finish! I've been slowly building up a trad rack, but its mostly been used it to build anchors when we set up top ropes. I need to get brave and do a long trad climb like that.

Hey, I managed to find 19 programs that have climbing close by, and hope to get into one of them. I am sure you will find somewhere to climb. BTW I will be a DO too.
