Dr Etienne van der Linde

Been lurking, now giving it a try 😀 : quick introduction !

Semi-retired Canadian doc, and thrown in.

Have worked since 1986 combo of operational military / tertiary / secondary / rural regional and rural, 5 countries and 3 continents (last 20 in Clarenville,NL : best kept secret ever, ) 👌

Interested in &

Can be nutty at times 😀, you only live once : youtube.com/watch?v=S7P5WW5n8V

@DrEvanderLinde Welcome! How are things in Clarenville (we have family on the Burin Peninsula)?

@manojpawar Wet & rainy, prefer snow ❄️ 😀 Thanks for the welcome. I love Burin, hope your family enjoy it. I interact with the hospital (ER and ICU) fairly frequently for air medevacs.

@DrEvanderLinde nutty barely covers the self-intubation vid! Ha!

@vasculopath You have to experience / feel anything at least once 😀 My pet fear is having surgery and waking during the procedure, paralyzed, and not able to object or do squat about it except put my heart rate up. I figure the next deconditioning step is to intubate myself, hook myself up to a vent, push my own sux, and get the RN to hurt me, but I'd probably lose my license... 😜

@DrEvanderLinde well, once in residency I started an IV on myself for fluids. After seeing some silly med TV show imply that it was good for hangovers. I think I'll draw the line there;)
