My anesthesia dream

[dabears505]

The one thing I wish I could somehow do in Anesthesia is to put an arrow art line kit on a mini bow like an actual bow and arrow and fire it into an artery.

Anyone have any other dreams?

When a surgeon is adding on a case and states to you the pt is “healthy” and you then see an actual ASA 1 heathy pt rather than the usual “healthy” ASA 3-4 dumpster fire.

I place a mildly difficult 18 in a hard to see forearm vein. The room goes bonkers in celebration. The circulator high fives the scrub tech. The surgeon and resident start chanting my name. The crna wipes away tears with a benzoin stick. The patient (who is already asleep) gives me a thumbs up.
And I have a great story to tell my wife at the dinner table that night.

Coffee in the OR on my preference card, with a snack cart that makes OR rounds at 930

Surgeon stops me after the case. “Hey man!! Thanks for keeping up with all my blood loss on that one! I really miffed that! You saved my ass (and the patient’s)!!”

Frequently. About female OR staff.

I really want to put a tourniquet around someone’s eye brows and pop a 16g into one of those big juicy middle-of-the-forehead veins, and then see the look on everyone’s face in PACU as I wheel them out looking like a unicorn.

Sorry.....don't dream about work much (although had a dream about one of the female OBs once. it's been awkward ever since)

Just watched that episode the other day. So funny!

I had a “healthy” one the other day that was a little person with a difficult airway and hurlers syndrome. SMH!

Sheeeeiiit

I'd settle for less insight than that. I was about 25 units and 1000 of cell saver into an ongoing aortic whack on Friday and the surgeon asked me to stop giving FFP because the leg (distal to a clamped iliac) was clotting off.

The profile pic is for tinder. The other is what shows up to the date

We have one surgeon that is particularly neurotic and self-deprecating. He likes to say “Hey - I may be slow, but I sure to lose a lot of blood.”
