    I served on AD for 5 years. Internship at NMCP and 4 years at 2nd Marine Division. After internship in the mil, I wanted a civ university MC residency program. I felt that was important with regards to training. But the biggest reason I left was family related. I saw no point in staying AD...

    Online sim stat, ABA CON ARTISTS!!!

    Attendings: How many of you work post-call?

    why should dobutamine,dopa, or NE be combined with dextrose 5%?

    It's not academic dogma nonsense. The reason is because the dextrose preserves the potency of the vasopressor. Sure if you mix it in the or and use it you will be fine. But if you are a pharmacist and mix it with the intent to use it at a later time frame. You chill it and use a dextrose...
