Probably just because pilots generally think planes are cool, especially when landing, and there's not much else to do while waiting in line but film them.

- bookofjoe 2y agoAlso perfectly descriptive of being an anesthesiologist. We had a resident who, at the end of most OR days, even during his third (final) year of residency, would come into the ready room and remark, "Something really amazing happened today...." The fact that this was still the case for him after anesthetizing thousands of patients was troubling to us attendings.
- devilbunny 2y agoI diagnosed my first pseudocholinesterase deficiency as a CA-1 (for non-doctors: second-year resident, patient was still paralyzed after a long case from a drug that usually lasts ~5 minutes, had to send him to ICU on ventilator until it finally broke down from all the other enzymes in the body). Had to be an attending for ~10 years before I got a malignant hyperthermia case. Do not want to repeat either of those. No. Surprises. Ever. Unless it's ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation, aka we succeeded) in a code.
- bookofjoe 2y agoThat's interesting. I never encountered either a pseudocholinesterase deficiency or MH during my 38 years of residency/attending/private practice. However — in my first year of residency, during my rotation at the VA, while performing my first brachial plexus block, I unknowingly injected lidocaine into the axillary artery: as the patient began seizing, the attending calmly said "Joe, take out the needle, I'm going to give him some diazepam." Worked! Never had another intravascular injection (that became symptomatic) doing a regional block.
- devilbunny 2y agoOne of my attendings during residency was Kenyan. In the bush, pediatric anesthesia was lido until they seized. At that point, you knew they could not feel anything.
- bookofjoe 2y agoThis is insanely wonderful and amazing!!!!
- devilbunny 2y agoAs he put it, “cardiac-wise, they were very stable - no arrhythmias.”
- kevincox 2y agoYeah, this guy probably has a library of landing videos.
