When someone yells “You da man!”, to me, I’d expect that I just hit a 280 yd drive or that I just nailed a 360 off a ski jump.
Although those would be damn cool (since I seriously doubt I could do either any more), I am just as psyched when a Dad yells that at me right after I successfully reduced his 2 y/o’s nursemaid’s elbow after two other people failed to do so.
I kinda felt like taking a victory lap.

:D Wonder what the victory lap would look like in the circumstances.
I once got that after waking up a patient with Romazicon, after 3 other docs couldn’t figure it out.
If there was a “like” button I would click it…
I felt like that recently when I used the Cunningham technique to reduce a shoulder with no pain and no sedation…no one shouted “You Da Man!” but I said it inside my head…
Actually Dr Grumpy, I did that Romazicon trick too – and guess what? I was a MEDICAL STUDENT. I was on my 4th neuro rotation with this goofy old neurologist and he was consulted to see someone in the ICU who had OD’d on numberous drugs including Ativan. I suggested Romazicon since Narcan and other things did not work. The neurologist had never even heard of it but we called for it and he pushed it. The lady woke up in a minute.
Good thing she was not a chronic abuser of benzos or else she would have gone into status. Luckily, I assume the neurologist knew how to handle that.
Haha, that’s awesome! It’s good to know there are good patient experiences amongst the drug seekers.
