No offense but if you can do q2 call in a cv place, that probably shouldn't be a cv place...

What do you mean?

I occasionally do q1 cardiac call for a week or two at a time. A couple years ago I covered cardiac call 20-25 days per month for 3 months straight. Aside from being tethered to a tight geographic radius around the hospital, it's not a huge burden if the surgeons (1) hate operating at night and are willing to let admissions hang out in the CCU until morning, and (2) don't suck and therefore rarely if ever have to take patients back to the OR for chest explorations after CABGs.

I'm not sure why those places shouldn't be cv places.

Man there was a few months in residency where they had takebacks so often that I just had the cardiac room completely set up every call because you were nearly guaranteed to go for a take back. Not sure what that was all about

"Fkin anesthesia let the blood pressure get to 103 mmHg right after I told those fkers I don't want my post pump CABGs any higher than 102 mmHg."

Are you saying that because if q2 is tolerable then they arent busy enough?
