You will be in my prayers, brother.

Luckily, they're pretty self sufficient. We see them for dinner, usually. They love to come and explore. They fell in love with Savannah, so I expect to see them even less.

do you get to just drill holes in the cadaver, or is it airway / chest decompression / pericardiocentesis too?

Not sure. They say to allow 2 hours and 45 minutes for the class so i hope it is more then just drilling bones.

I took the advanced airway cadaver lab at Shock Trauma in Baltimore and it was really good. (I think @chaz90 went on a different day, right?) Lots of opportunity to practice those procedures that come up once in a blue moon.

Any chance you get to practice skills on something other than a plastic trainer is a great opportunity

This is the lab I'm doing. (In Seattle).

Besides that, 150 bucks to learn this girl wasn't worth it. Saves me future work. Hahaha

Isn't this the same girl you said you'd take to see a movie then blew her off to take another girl?

Good practice for humeral head and medial malleolus placement. If you haven't drilled an IO yet, it's uncannily similar to screwing up drywall.

I've done one on a 3month old. Went through the tibia.

doc said it was common. I still feel bad.

Will be fun. I'll let people know how it went.

In all my pedi IOs I just use the drill to get it started. The rest is by hand. Just a tip. I'm 5/5 on IOs in kids <24 months.

*cough* yeah. it's a really long story. I've been talking to both for a year or so, the first one has had a bf the whole time we've been talking. This one has too, but we didn't start to become a thing until a few weeks ago When they just broke up. At the time when the movie incident occurred, she was just a friend. So I thought it'd be a little understandable to her.

So both girls you are "talking" to both have boyfriends. Or at least did.

Classy.

Wait...isn't this the script for a telenovela?

Not judging 9D4 here (much

), but I've always wondered what makes someone think that if they start a relationship with someone who is already in a different relationship that, ultimately, that person won't do the same to them?

I'm just sayin'...

You are spending a lot of time and money to date multiple women.

It is better to make effort if you want to date just one.

There is generally not much effort required to date several... Just logistics.

No one in this scenario has been presumed dead but is really disguised as the pool boy.

Wow, great video and commentary.

Now, I may be a little out of my element here as I have never performed either procedure, but spontaneously breathing patient with a jaw wired shut? I think my first go to airway choice would be an attempt at naso-tracheal intubation. Any thoughts or guidance from some of the more experienced airway people out there?

Funny, I said the exact same thing after I watched this video. A BAAM and a 6.0 until they can unwire his jaw.
