I love regional anaesthesia and working with surgeons, & am also sad that I have finished Schitt’s Creek. Here is a thread of experiences as a regional anaesthetist..
The reaction of a new surgeon the first time you state you’d like to site a nerve block... for a trauma patient
The reaction of a new surgeon the first time you state you’d like to site a nerve block... for a trauma patient
The reaction of the anaesthetist when the surgeon states that blocks will slow the list down, and “The operation isn’t that painful anyway”
The activity in the anaesthetic room when we get the “go ahead” to put a nerve block in a patient- “as long as it’s quick and it works”
The argument used by the anaesthetist for why the nerve block should be sited
Reaction of the anaesthetist When the surgeon requests the surgery be performed under block alone
When the surgeon congratulates the anaesthetist on an excellent block
When your trainee places a block with slick skills and it works beautifully
How you fee about regional anaesthesia when you can finally see your target and your needle at the same time!
How your trainee feels when they have successfully performed their first block for awake surgery
The first time your block doesn’t work completely
When you place your first Paravertebral
When your anaesthetic assistant tells you Dr X is better/faster at siting blocks than you!
