ACCRAC Podcast: Pediatric Cardiothoracic Anesthesia by Muhammad Amir Ayub

There's pediatric anesthesia (they're not small adults). There's cardiothoracic anesthesia (the complex cases are very complex). 

Then there's pediatric cardiothoracic anesthesia. Mind blown. Such a fascinating extremely specialized field.

The Concept of CPR+ECMO+Cardiac Cath for Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest by Muhammad Amir Ayub

Medical advancements are amazing; it's just that we in the not so rich world may never get to implement these "miracles" in advancing human survival from the brink of death. The concept that having someone collapse with a heart attack outside in public, be resuscitated with CPR machines and have the circulation be taken over later by machines completely and then have their heart fixed in the cath lab while having your life prolonged by advanced machinery and knowledge is just amazing (but let's not forget the human investments, expenditure in money and the ethical implications of deciding who and who not to have their lives potentially prolonged).

All this while people are going against vaccination (which is much much much cheaper and simpler) as they are the works of the Jews and devils.

The 2018 NBA Playoffs Have Been Pretty Good Thus Far by Muhammad Amir Ayub

If you followed the 2017 NBA Playoffs, you’d know what I mean: it was rightfully assumed that both the Warriors and Cavs would meet again in the NBA Finals, with the Warriors unsurprisingly giving the Cavs the sweep. That was truly a bore.

This year, there’s a lot more drama and storylines, which is good for the sport.  The only sweep thus far was an unsuspected one (the Pelicans beating the Trailblazers), and the Jazz can make another less surprising "upset" too. The Warriors didn’t sweep the Spurs (who are in such unprecedented locker room drama with Kahwi Leonard bailing out in my view). The Cavs with LeBron James are downright struggling. The Rockets have yet to prove that they’re the real deal. Derrick Rose has proven that he’s still got it somewhat. The rest are all in slugfests.

That’s good. And thanks to YouTube, you can watch all of the good stuff in condensed time; a two hour TV broadcast cut to just 10 minutes that you can watch while doing stuff. 

I don't know who to support this year, but I'm betting on a Rockets vs Cavs finals.
