No wonder he required 500 of propofol and 8 of versed and 30 of toradol.
 
WOW!

A milligram of spinal morphine only?

A mg of morphine AND 100mcg of spinal fentanyl?

I bet that dude scratched all of his skin off postoperatively. Damn! Probably one big excoriation. That's a cruel anesthetic. I'll bet that hospital had a shortage of nalbuphine, naloxone, and hydroxyzine after that case!

Notice, though, that through all of that he still had a negative Throckmorton's sign. :laugh:

iv fentanyl.
it looks like a solid GA: 8mg versed... :eek:
maybe it's a typo in the article and should of read 0.1mg spinal morphine, i suspect reviewers from ORTHOPEDICS wouldn't have picked that up :D
 
Cut them some slack guys, they're orthopods. I'm surprised they spelled morfeene right. The boneheads at our place can barely read.

I had an ortho attending ask me last month why I hadn't transfused any FFP; didn't I know his platelet count was 95?

"Yes sir, we're at negative two twitches but I'll give him some more droperidol."

"Fine, that'll really help us out."

I never knew they had journals; I figured they gathered around the fire every few weeks and just grunted at each other.

Haha. Nice catch. That's the only thing I really remember from my month in Radiology. I also figured out the shortest route to the coffee kiosk since I required 5 cups just to stay awake.

How do you hide a $20 bill from an orthopod? Put in the patient's chart.

How do you hide a $20 bill from a neurosurgeon? Tape it to his kid's forehead.

How do you hide a $20 bill from a plastic surgeon? You can't hide a $20 bill from a plastic surgeon. You just can't.
 
How do you hide a $20 bill from an anesthesiologist? Put it in the room with a crna.

his knuckels are scraping on the ground....
whats the difference between an orthopod and a carpenter?
the carpenter knows the names of two antibiotics...

You mean there are more than one antibiotics available?

Oh, wait I remember a second one, cefazolin.

i had an orthopod mention to me two times in 24 hours that an EKG looked like a bunch of squiggly lines to him. I was like...thanks dude, i understand in your field it's cool to be an idiot...I got it. :thumbup:
 
Ah, ortho jokes.

Q: What is the heart to an orthopedic surgeon.

Ans: The squishy thing that pushes the ancef around.
 
Ive delivered that anesthetic before, minus the big dose of midaz. A typical hip would get a bit more IV narc but usually only 0.3mg IT morphine.
