We called this one Occupational Hazards, but we're not talking about needle sticks. We're talking about what the job quietly costs a CRNA. What it feels like in your body to walk out of a case that went south, then do a stat C-section ten minutes later because the day doesn't stop for you to fall apart.

Bilal Mohammad is a Miami CRNA you probably know as That CRNA Who Lifts, and he came on to talk about all of it. How he protects his faith at work and why he's never had to choose between praying and providing. Why he treats the gym like medicine, the bad day, the good day, the blah day, all of it ends in a workout. What we carry that nobody sees, the part where everyone's joking in the room until it's suddenly on you and the whole table looks up waiting for the plan.

We also got into anesthesia and social media. How more information somehow gave patients less trust, and that epidural harpoon trend scaring women out of pain relief for clicks.

And we stuck around off the record for the OR stories we don't usually tell. Let's just say not everyone walks out of that room without a bruise.

Everything we make for CRNAs lives at clockoutandconnect.com. Free tools whether you're pricing your worth or still trying to get into school, plus our new, free weekly newsletter, the whole anesthesia world in a five minute read.
