Well, I’m still lifting. I’ve also started learning to play guitar. I’m basically a sports car away from a full-on midlife crisis.
It’s definitely working. Especially after I added some juice into the mix. I figure I don’t play professional baseball so what the heck.
Last night I finally had my first chance to intubate since I started lifting. The patient was huge with a tiny mouth and no neck — a perfect test case. I flipped on Spiderwebs, put the laryngoscope blade in, and cranked up on the handle.
Unfortunately I accidently pulled his head off his neck. Oh well. At least I didn’t need the bougie.

and you didn’t go into a ‘roid rage afterwards; kudos.

Dood, I hate it when the docs are ‘roid ragin’ and decapitate everyone.
Just remember, if the patient’s family sues you, don’t blog about it, even years later. *Rolls eyes*
I flipped on Spiderwebs…

What kind of guitar do you have?

An S101 Acoustic off of Craigslist.

I just hope the bodyless head has all of his teeth intact. Nothing like breaking a tooth while intubating….then he’d look funny.

I actually fired this up when I came back to this post to read comments.
I waited outside in the scorching heat all day at the box office c. 1996 to see No Doubt, and f*ckers sold out when I was 3 people from the front of the line. Still bitter, obviously.

I’ve had spiderwebs stuck in my head for the past week…while studying for my medicine shelf. Torture.
