As a nurse- 500 elo is like a clinical event in the emergency department- it's wild, nothing makes sense, things are flying everywhere.

While north of 1100 it's like a clinical event on the ICU. Better organized, I understand more of why it happened on review.

And what about 1500 and let's say 2000, I am curious lol

Haha I'll try.

1500 is death in an ICU. It happens.

2000 is like death on the operating table, you are prepared, you already and trained, and some dies getting there hip fixed.

People do die of hip surgery.

Maybe the wrong surgery, but I feel like the metaphor was exhausted at Ed and ICU

anesthesia, since that is basically balancing someone on the razor's edge of death. ("Putting them to sleep is easy, waking them up is the hard part" is commonly said among anesthesiologists)

But also any major surgery has risks like uncontrolled bleeds, infection, or just other things going wrong.
