“Supervise using the QZ modifier” Not even “supervision.” Basically all crnas are solo; you’re there as a preop/firefighter for who knows how many rooms.

The pendulum from great to horrible swings further in PP depending on the people. You know what you’re getting with an AMC.

Going hard in the paint! You forgot to add… Affect is a verb; effect is a noun. Just a reminder for all. So everyone cross your “t” and dot your…lower case “j”

Private equity-backed radiology provider Envision Healthcare to exit bankruptcy; CEO departing for Humana. “Rechtin first took over as Envision’s top exec in February 2020. He has more than 22 years of experience in healthcare, including serving as president of UnitedHealth’s OptumCare. Prior...

Probably regional. In today’s anesthesia job market, it would be poor for a group or hospital to be stuck on a no outside moonlighting clause. That should easily be negotiated out or an addendum could be added (assuming one gets their own malpractice insurance for those assignments).

Interesting prompt; I did a literature search. I’ve not done it before, but if you had to, a peripheral nerve catheter with Chloroprocaine from an OnQ pain ball would be an option. Probably not a good idea if Pt has pseudocholinesterase deficiency (genetic or liver disease) or if Pt is...

Abnormal syntax appreciated. Ban hammer on standby.
