re: Woman says mother-in-law paralyzed after receiving potassium during surgery
Posted by RicFlairWhoooooo on 8/19/26 at 3:18 pm to LegendInMyMind
10-15 doses from one vial. Which is why they do it. Treat 10 patients with one vial instead of 10 patients with 10 vials where a large majority is thrown away.
By the time the first patient or two reached recovery room and they realized they were not moving lower extremities like they should have been, the 3rd and fourth patient had already receive their spinals

I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that it played out this way:
Spinal anesthesia has become the gold standard for total joint replacement, although it is often combined with a general anesthetic. A small dose of local anesthetic is injected into the intrathecal space. At our hospital this local anesthetic is taken from its original vial and placed into small syringes by the pharmacist/pharmacist tech so that an entire vial is not wasted on each patient.
Those syringes are then used for the spinal injection. With 99% certainty the pharmacist or pharmacy tech put the wrong medication into the syringe. The anesthesiologist placed spinal like he/she does every day. The syringe appeared to be the usual local anesthetic but has unfortunately been filled with potassium causing the spinal cord damage. In a busy hospital with a flip room, not out of reason that 4 patients could have gotten the spinals with the wrong medication before the first one reached the recovery room and they realized there was an issue.
And although some places are still using Bupivicaine which is ordinarily in the kit, most places have moved to Mepiviciane, which is shorter acting local anesthetic so patients are able to get up sooner after surgery and start walking. My guess is that when all the correct info comes out, it was suppose to be a mepivicaine spinal which is not the local anesthetic routinely provided in the kits and therefore the med came from the pharmacy

Just stayed there a couple weeks ago. Hotel was great. Restaurants were all fantastic. Fair warning now, they are very pushy with trying to get you to go to a sales meeting for them to try to sell their club. We went, listened to the spill, said no 10 times and got a ton of spa credit and a free cabana by the pool for going. A little off putting how pushy there were but otherwise no complaints at all. Spa was amazing. We didn’t do any excursions.
Take an uber one day and go to Flora Farms for lunch.

re: Mallorca Island...Need some advice on the do’s and don’t while there for a week.

Had an amazing trip to Mallorca. Did a couple days in Playa which was just ok. It’s the cancun of Europe. Lots of partying and such, which is great if that’s your thing. Our favorite was Soller.
Cala des Moro is this crazy beautiful beach that you hike down to. The hike and the beach are incredible. You can google pics of it.
Ca’s Patro March is this great restaurant built into the side of the cliff. Was in a scene from the show The Night Manager. Unbelievable views. Most likely need a reservation.

Physician reimbursement is 9% of dollars spent on healthcare in the United States. So try again.
re: Scotland Trip
Posted by RicFlairWhoooooo on 12/5/24 at 8:16 pm to ratman2233
We went this summer and played:
Kingsbarn- incredible track
New course- forgettable
Old course- the history makes it great. Outside of 1,17,18 somewhat forgettable. Course is a cluster with all the double greens, people and golf balls flying everywhere. Fore being screamed by groups all over the course
Carnoustie-hardest course I’ve ever played. Conditions were absolutely pristine. But was a beatdown
Prestwick-home of the first 10 British opens. Incredibly quirky course but one of my favorites of the trips. Caddies were fantastic
Dundonald- good conditions but compared to everything else underwhelming.
Royal troon-incredible
Turnberry-favorite course. Got to play if you are there
Bucket list trip. Everyone should go once. Prepare yourself. Food sucks in Scotland. The restaurant 18 which is at top of hotel right on 18 on the old course had a great view and bar. Food was serviceable. Steak barn was a must. One of our caddies from kingsbarn was a member of the old course and he meet us after our round there and took us to their club to have drinks after our round which was great. Need to go eat at Dunvegan as well. Every restaurant you eat at you have to order sticky toffee pudding. It’s the best thing you will eat in Scotland. Everything else is pretty bad but you are there for the golf not the food.

Played Lochinvar a year or so ago as an unaccompanied guest. Had a caddie. We make the turn and didn’t stop at the clubhouse. On #11 i turn to the caddie and ask where is the next bathroom shack. Caddie says there isn’t any. Tells me to just pee outside. Trying to be a polite guest i declined, and he says “this is a men’s only club, pissing outside is encouraged”. Course is fantastic. Great track.

So you made up a stat that was off by 500% and posted it as fact. I have never once heard of a person with the means to have medical care anywhere in the world choose a different country than the US.

My man. Please show me where physician wages is 50% of healthcare dollars. The actual number is 9%.
re: Nerve block after surgery
Posted by RicFlairWhoooooo on 3/1/21 at 4:36 pm to bakersman
Due to the location of where the nerves are blocked it is much more likely that the numbness you are experiencing is related to surgical manipulation or the way you were positioned during the procedure. However, your surgeon will of course look to place the blame on someone else. But yes, with time, it should improve.
