We’ve talked about that at work…lol.

On a tangent, Dr. Pimple Popper does some extensive cases in her office. She could use an anesthesiologist too.

I can't think of a more difficult, demanding patient population than cosmetic surgery patients. Celebrity status just pours gasoline on that flame. You can have all of them.

No beard covers, this can’t be allowed! I wonder if they even did a timeout

Wow.

I thought part of the allure of getting tattoos involve enduring the discomfort. What a cop out. Celebs ruin everythjng

Are there any rules that say you can only administer anesthesia if there’s a medical indication? Can you give someone propofol just for a quick nap?

We've been talking about this idea here for 15+ years. The window's been open a long time. 🙂

I guess when you're raking in millions of dollars a year the cost is really not an issue.

There were some studies out of China that showed benefit for patients with insomnia.

Unfortunately Conrad Murray probably destroyed any chance of it being studied for that indication here

Why couldn’t one use a hair under metHgb levels of EMLA cream?

Bier block upper extremities, spinal lower. 😛

I don't know anything about tattoos but maybe making the skin soggy/greasy with cream would be a problem for the artist?

I wonder if dexmedetomidine would be better than propofol in terms of quality of rest.

Ketamine gtt. Call it the rockstar infusion.

Facility near my fellowship had an advertisement for full sedation while patient withdrew from drug of choice. My guess is a low dose propofol gtt +/- precedex.

Any attendings do any "Ultra-rapid detox"

Hey all A few of the attendings were talking about this the other day. Does anyone here do this? Just curious. It seems like it would need a ton of monitoring, and you'd prolly see some pretty interesting physiologic changes. I couldn't work with addicts myself, but I wouldn't mind doing a...
