THANK YOU.

For making SDN ANESTHESIA what it is:

A SITE WHERE YOU CAN LOG ON AND READ ABOUT WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST.

We don't stop with the medicine banter.

We venture into our lives.

For all you clandestine lurkers out there, you are welcome here. High school students. Pre-meds. Med school students. Fourth year med-school-I'm-in-the-best-year-of-my-life-studs/studettes....residents. Attendings.

I'm encouraging you to post here.

And to listen to what the gurus (there are three: Mil, UT, Noy) have to say.

Very, very, very happy with the way things are going around here. It's one thing to read stuff in texts, it's definitely another to hear how different people are skinning the same cat in out there in private practice, in the real world, elsewhere in academia, etc. Most importantly though, I think this site helps us realize that what we learn in residency is anything but bulletproof, to use good clinical judgment, and to turn a critical eye to the quality of the data behind the things we're taught to do by our academic programs.

In short, as the late Borat might say, "I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!"

Thanks for the shout out! I almost gave up on this forum, wanted to drop out of anesthesia even with all the negative banter.

I am lovin life now. Yeah, residency sux (no hyperkalemia yet though) the life out of you, but I am loving the anesthesia I do.

It only helps that I skipt the Compton swap meet this week for backcountry skiing (not as luxurious as the trip Noyac got...).

5 days of earning my turns. Anytime my HR can be above 140 for as many hours as possible, I am as happy as Jet with a dip of Cop!


Let's keep on slingin great posts like our hero Gas rok stars, JPP, Noyac, UT et al

Hey, man. I agree. Definitely on the upswing.

My story is that I came here about a year ago because a buddy in labor camp (a.k.a., my program) told me to check it out, lurked for a while, and just saw a lot of fighting and negativity and arrogance. Sure, it's good to vent, but didn't see the point of hanging around. Them I came back again (just because I remembered it one weekend) over the summer and noticed things had changed, lurked again for a little while, then signed up.

Now I'm getting hooked. Great forum. Great discussions. Totally different place than it was a year ago. Let's keep it going!

Thanks to Jet, Vent, UT, and all of the other guys who take time out of their "busy" schedules to give advice and trade secrets to everyone who enters a URL wrong and ends up at this forum . I'm currently a second year and I have had the opportunity to assist on several surgeries and it has been a rather cool experience. But I must say... I am always mesmerized by the "other side of the steril drape." I watched one ortho procedure but ended up talking to the CRNA the whole time about anesthetics, airway management, etc. I can't help but feel a pull toward the dark side. I used to think that gas would be boring but I am changing my tune and investigating it a little more thoroughly. Thanks for the inspiration... no pun intended.

I have been a member for a couple years and I have lurked for a couple months in the Gas forum. I must say this is, hands down, the best commuity I have seen here at SDN. No surgeon bravado, no noob trolling... it's nice.

Just killed some slave trader on Assassins Creed this morning. Sweet.

I can't help to think that getting rid of some of those troublesome moderators here didn't help as well.
