Download or read book Surgical Imposter written by Max Heeb MD. F.A.C.S. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-04-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imbibing country clubbers were tooting their New Years Eve miniature horns, prematurely. An elderly man at the adjoining table is obviously choking on an under chewed piece of steak, Jason hollers, “can you talk?” The gasping man shakes his head, “no!” The Heimlich maneuver fails. Jason yanks the tablecloth and the dishes crash to the floor. He lifts the cyanotic, gasping man to the table with his head extended over the edge. He remembers Dr Heifer’s words “The most important thing to remember in performing a tracheotomy is to extend the neck and the trachea will project forward.” He grabs a steak knife, makes an incision into the wind pipe below the voice box and inserts a horn as a make shift tracheotomy tube. With each breath, the tooting horn improves the color of the man from blue to pink and ushers in the New Year.
Download or read book General Surgery Residency Survival Guide written by Asanthi Ratnasekera and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over 250 surgical residencies in the United States. Most residents experience some degree of shock once they start on the very first day, and the demands of residency are high. The current overall dropout rate is 16%, and there is evidence for higher burnout rates, suicide rates, addiction rates and divorce rates among all surgeons compared to other careers. There is therefore a critical need for the education of resiliency during surgical residency and guidance on surviving this challenging portion of their career. Unfortunately, the experiences of trial and error are the basis for survival, and resiliency training is often overlooked as part of the traditional surgical training. This practical guide is founded on many conversations with struggling general surgery residents and will have wide appeal, utilizing these experiences via interviews with current residents at different residency programs and covering an even wider variety of topics, with variable experiences based on differing ages, races, sexes, and marital statuses. Each chapter begins with a topic and a brief introduction, expansion on the topic based on their unique experiences, and then a concluding list of pearls to remember and use in daily residency. The topics are broken down thematically into five main sections, covering the breadth of residency experience and work/life balance: academics, clinical duties, life outside of work, leadership and ethics, and basic survival skills and self-care. Written by current residents for current residents, General Surgery Residency Survival Guide will be a valuable resource for everyone navigating this challenging portion of their medical career.
