That LP5 was last used around 2001 or so... and they were old back then. Those were tough machines. Superficially they looked kind of like the LP10 only you could split the machine in half and have separate monitor and defib units. They also had a habit of still working when they fell out of the back of an ambulance...

Yep. I don't know if it's a hospital thing or a nurse/attending/resident thing but every single patient in my pod for the last 2 days has been getting 12-leads.

Often the nursing staff will get one before the resident has a chance to see the patient, or the PA in triage will get one if the patient was seen up front before coming back.

I really can't correctly phrase what I want to say. I'll just say the continuation of that convo between you and MrJones vividly played out in my head just now ending in, umm, yeah...probably something that'll get me a vacation too

I had to open up the nitro and ASA in my drug bag for a chest pain call.

They were both in the bag when I started 3.5 months ago. So yes, my first chest pain in 3+ months.

I love this job. It's different.

Stand by at the LZ for a hiker down? I'll gladly take it

We get them fairly often. The guy in orange was about to **** his pants. He has been on the search and rescue team for 6 months and he was sent down on the hoist to get the patient and the firefighters who hiked up there.

Why someone would do a 20 mile hike with little water in 109 degree weather I have no idea

Almost asked the Sierra if he wanted a hand when I saw him off with a patient in town today while having lunch with a colleague but then realised that might nt be a good idea; days off and all ... so now I am back home in my regular semi collapsed state without the energy to hang out the laundry.

Perhaps I need a metaraminol infusion.

It's the Inland Empire, so I'm betting on meth.

For once I actually don't think so. She did not look like she has ever used.

I think it was more of the "I'm tough, I can easily do it".

Second night in a row I can't sleep...what the hell is this nonsense? Before I couldn't sleep because it hurt...now I don't hurt and I can't sleep?

Lame.

Dunno. I ask the same question, except they are always <10 miles for me, thus far.

Hahaha. We were just finishing up paperwork on an AMA when we heard it. Told my medic we would just be staging at the LZ so he would have time to finish up the AMA and not have to worry about getting another call
