3. MDA residency

   TheLemur replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in CRNA

   Emerald, First of all, you might not want to use the term MDA. On one hand, everyone knows who you are referring to when you use it, so it is an effective abbreviation for a long title. On the other, 1) they don't like it (due to historicial and p...

4. How would you manage this airway?

   TheLemur replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

   Euthanasia? By not intervening? Maybe negiligent, but it probably wouldn't hold up, in that situation. Certainly not euthanizing, though.

5. Fluid Replacement on Weight Basis

   TheLemur replied to yoga crna's topic in CRNA

   My thoughts: This lady is no longer "obese", with a BMI Maintenance fluid requirements are approximately 135cc's/hr (weight in kilo's +40), and you want to replace the deficit sooner rather than later (1/2 first hour, 1/2 second hr or whichever meth...

6. Why havent CRNAs pushed MDAs out yet?

   TheLemur replied to platon20's topic in CRNA

   Good post. Still, this thread is a real loser that barely deserved such a well-written and thought out statement. What are the OP's intentions, anyway? I have heard a veteran CRNA, former prez of the AANA, probably as "militant" as they come, say th...

7. Clinical Quiz: Bite Blocks

   TheLemur replied to piper77's topic in CRNA

   One advantage to soft bite blocks is that they sponge up oral secretions. And I agree that it has never made much sense to me to be told to insert a bite block of either variety at the beginning of the case; if your patient is biting during surgery,...

10. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

    TheLemur replied to deepz's topic in CRNA

    I would respond to this by saying that coffee the temperature of the sun would exist in gas or plasma form and would not be tolerated by anyone .....not for long anyway.

11. Have Docs kept you out of an OR room b/c your a CRNA?

    TheLemur replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

    Where did that come from? jwk is a consistent and positive contributor. Other types of anesthesia providers posting makes this place less insular. By the way, you didn't refute what Tenesma said. Or was "jerk" your best response.

    MmacFN, you're not getting anywhere NEAR my dog.

13. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

    TheLemur replied to deepz's topic in CRNA

    So what is the fair monetary price for incapacitating injury or death? Is there an actual dollar value to these things? I've merely scanned this thread as I have little interest in legalese, but I believe that it has already been stated that most ...

14. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    TheLemur replied to golfmontpoker's topic in SRNA

    Golf boy, I was once pre-dent as well. BS biology, 2.9 gpa, DAT score 18. (and the DAT, folks, is essentially the SAME as the MCAT, minus physics, plus "perceptual ability" portion). I did not get in dental school (see above gpa). Nursing was my b...

15. So you are about to start clinicals...

    TheLemur replied to Just a CRNA's topic in SRNA

    Wow. Thanks a lot. I know I will be fine, but I can't help having some anxiety before the real learning begins. Hopefully my instructors will share your attitude.... One thing I will be sure to do is to thank the CRNAs and anesthesiologists who pa...
