If I hit those numbers (40-50 pt per day) at my HOPD job, that's about $1.2 million

ETA for aspiration risk (gastroparesis, etc), or somebody I’m worried about being able to maintain spontaneous ventilation and adequate tidal volumes. Somebody with OSA and obesity, if you’re doing GA, probably need ETA, as you’re going to knock out their respiratory drive and then trying to do...

My program cares. As it has absolutely no impact on me, I could not care less. I care about the pain boards, which don’t matter until after I take oral boards

At my job, yes, go to ED

Weird, I thought their job was to promote anesthesiology and safe patient anesthesia care. Looking like another membership fee I can save money on now

Bilateral L1 and S2 DRG

Pay off loans first and foremost. Not sure if you can get the whole chunk knocked out now or if you're locked in over a time period, but if you can pay it all of now that is most prudent. With most investments being a losing proposition this year, getting rid of a debt growing at 4.5% is the...

I guess it depends on her career path. If she’s also going into medicine, then college choice absolutely doesn’t matter. If she’s doing something that’s heavily connections/networking based (investment banking, computer science, etc), then yes. But definitely not for medicine. I went to an...

It doesn't matter much. If you don't want to give volume, phenylephrine will support their pressure fine. And if you do want to give volume, the whole "volume overload in preeclamptics" is pretty over-exaggerated with reasonable volume given.

Strong programs that you're definitely competitive for. Can't speak for the others but UAB takes lots of folks with similar profile to you each year. The others are likely good choices too from what I've heard.

Absolutely

Definitely several questions that there's absolutely no way anybody actually knows the answer, but overall not bad.
