I understand and see your original argument about the four-level exam code and how insurance and medical companies manipulate the system in that context. However, blaming the anesthesiologist for this scenario doesn’t hold up—how could they possibly be responsible for how slow a surgeon operates? Besides, it’s well known that nurse anesthetists handle most of the workload anyway. So yeah, maybe anesthesiologists should be doing more to earn their money, considering they’re mostly just ‘watching’ professional anesthesia providers do the actual work.

The actual girls in this race need to refuse to participate if he/she/him/her is allowed. Whatever this is Portland they can’t help themselves.

This group of mentally illegal peoples now refers to themselves as the LGBTQ+ not just LGBTQ anymore.

Cold water immersions can limit the gains in hypertrophy, strength or endurance.
People do it to help focus, mood and energy because increase causes the release of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine in the brain and body.
There are also some suggestions it can improve immune response.

I suggest trying a diet w real food and a fitness regiment focusing on strength, hypertrophy, endurance, and cardiovascular training.
W a proper diet and a vast variety of strain on the muscular skeletal system it can kick start a health chain of reaction on the endocrine system.

Also if he is athletic enough to play basketball he is athletic enough to be really good at other sports.

This is dumb and not really sure I want this. However, I think it would be cool to have a jump ball to start every quarter. If you have a big man that can win everytime great for your team.

Lots of poor information in the entire thread.

I am an independent CRNA. I work at a hospital with no anesthesiologist in house, on call, or associated with the facility whatsoever.

Independent CRNAs have sole responsibility on all of their actions not the surgeons. Several legal precedents have proven this.

Our scope is broad. We do all epidurals, spinal, regional blocks, general anesthetics, macs, minor sedation.

We also put central lines in our patients that require them during surgical intervention. Thanks to covid we started getting calls from the icu and Er to help Drs intubate and place also central lines in these critically ill pts.

Facilities that practice this model are all over the country. You won’t find this model in a large city hospital but will at a lot of surgical centers or surgical offices.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 3rd grade. My older siblings were straight A students and I was the kid who brought home Cs. I felt stupid when it came to academics. I used to say things like “I am dumb and stupid” and my parents encouraged me not to convince myself that I was dumb.
My dad did not want to put me on medication until I was older and practically let me decide if I wanted to go on them or not when I started high school. I started on Concerta when I was a freshman in high school and I absolutely hated it. So my parents and I decided not to take it.
I was not a good student early in high school but my grades improved every year because I was learning how I learned best.
To make a long story short, I thankfully got accepted into a smaller university and by that time I knew how to work w my dyslexia and how to learn. I have a doctorate degree and define myself as successful.
Now concerning you decision, encourage your child and try not to let him get himself down. Medication does work for a lot of people but it may change his personality. Being so young I do not see the rush to start medication. It is ok to have mediocre grades growing up.
I was not diagnosed with ADHD so no personal experience with that. I do believe exercise and extracurricular activities help. especially if you can help him find something he is truly interested in.
Sorry for long post. Sorry for spelling and grammar errors. Give me a break I’m dyslexic haha.

I believe some people are attempting this in Broadmoor.

Private health insurance negotiates their own reimbursement with providers and hospitals.?
If the public has more choice and more competition is allowed like the report suggest than prices would change and people could save $$.
