Writing "RIP" in official documentation
I frequently see non-survivable trauma where I work. Junior staff are all writing "RIP" at the end of their notes.
This is a neurosurg note from earlier today:
"[history/exam findings] ... CT scan showed [findings] ... In keeping with non-survivable brain injury.
RIP."
Patient's still alive at the time of the note.
It irks me a bit. Either keep it clinical and formal, or if you absolutely must write "may they rest in peace" or something. Not RIP... Also give the poor bastard 5 minutes to die...

Am I on Track?
Hi everyone, I hope you all have had an enjoyable holiday season so far. I am an OMS-1 heading into my second semester, and I am searching for some advice as I look ahead towards this upcoming semester and summer break. I am really interested in anesthesiology and I want to make sure I am setting myself up for success. My first semester, I really focused on getting my study habits locked in and I was able to finish the semester in the top 5% of my class. I also joined the interest group for...

Help me with my studying methods?
Alright, so I'm in a bad spot right now. I failed the first year of med school and my school has asked me to remediate M1 year. I failed a final exam by 2.7% for just one class. I know that if I can't get past M1 again or if I fail a board exam or screw something else up, then I'll be kicked out. I really don't want that to happen. And yes, I know my dream of becoming an anesthesiologist is probably dead. But I'm fine with FM or IM.
My new goal is to hopefully match a categorical position...

Small dose precedex on induction?
The place I'm currently doing locums at many of the MDs and crnas give a small dose (16-24) of precedex on induction. No infusion, for short and long cases. I use precedex for infusions for TIVAs, wakeups in drug addicts or people who look like they're going to be bucking broncos. I think it's somewhat institutional, but the usual response I get is to decrease opioid use but I don't see this and it clinically doesn't make sense given the dose/length of surgery. What is this providing? Is...

Surgeons that come with their own Benny Hill theme song
Worked with a legendary/mythological surgical trainee. Excellent bloke, hardworking, but did some outrageous ****.
1. Was sweaty during surgery. So he wiped his forehead... While holding a scalpel... Sliced himself from ear-to-ear across his brow.
2. Couldn't find any scrub pants his size. So was wearing XXXL. Trauma pager went off so he turned to run to resus... Pants fell down... He shuffle-ran with pants around his ankles until he fell over halfway down the hallway.
3. Sutured the...
