I had a 20-something guy with +++ induction and maintenance requirements sit bolt upright and broadcast to a full PACU,
"Whoa! I've done some crazy shit in my time but that was fahhhhbulous."
Best part was he did it in the voice of Crush from Finding Nemo.

The Calverley oxygen knob is a great example of human factors in medicine. Controls for nitrous oxide and air were not only different shapes but they were recessed relative to 02. All colour-coded, although US and ISO coding systems vary. Now it's screens 🙄

I associated our overdosing of rocuronium to the "aerosol preventing" intubations of the COVID era. In Boston, it seems it was sugammadex.
Just for fun, ask a trainee or colleague for the ED95 of roc.

My father was an aerospace engineer who was a contractor on the shuttle program.
Udvar-Hazy took me right back to being a 7 yo flying model rockets with his Dad.
