Yes. My biggest thing to think about would be "how did he get in there". Unless he was just like "g i wonder what this would feel like" there had to be some way or reason his leg got caught in there. If his remaining leg on the torn up side was in fact paralyzed that does indicate some...

Puppy said something that I've been yelled at for so many times but not all patients need tourniquets. I have gotten more successful starts without a tourniquet than with. In RN school the only IV starts that I got to attempt were on patients that were 90+ years old and the biggest thing...

BLS. Only reason most people freak out and ALS something like that is because kids are aliens and nothing means something and something can mean something but nothing then something then nothing always means something big. :D

I realize that some of you are trying to play devils advocate in this situation but in the end if you do not have ABGs you would not give O2 with someone satting at 99% because of the potential of resp alkalosis. If he was having trouble breathing an anti-anxiety med could be considered giving...

So I'm confused here. Did he or did he not have an increased ICP? The original post says that he didn't.

it didn't happen to me but my roommate went on a call with an obese man who slipped and fell into his bathtub, covered in feces, she and her emt had to peel him out of the tub

Just a question that might stray from your original answer (but no no o2 needed with sats that high) do you happen to know what his blood sugar was?

There are a lot of practice tests and quizzes out there even on your phone if you have a smart phone. Refresher courses are amazing as long as you don't mind paying for them but another good idea would be doing volunteer ride time with a fire department, you might not get to practice skills but...

Ya know I have no idea. I honestly had no idea so many people have even heard of it till now.

I think some of the diagnoses may be a bit over the top, possibly legit but over the top haha

Biggest thing you can do is 1. Make sure the scene is safe and 2. If you could do only one thing and walk away what would it be? ABC's!!! I once had an instructor yell at our class "AIRWAYS AIRWAYS AIRWAYS" before she said hi to the class.

Depends. Either 10 hours shifts or if I get sent out 24 hour shifts. Or if someone calls in what ever they wanted.

If they needed it for their paperwork, absolutely. If they just wanted it to study sure, just make sure names and patient information are blacked out.

Yeah vitals have changed for me. It isn't right away but they do change.

Just wondering if I as the only nerd on here who had this game on their phone? Its a really cool game that lets you handle case studies ranging from behavioral issues to OB *shudders*. If anyone has this and feels its great or over the top let me know!

Yeah it does sound like some sort of foul play. Good thing these guys aren't out there helping the public.... oh wait...

When it costs you more money to start up than a months pay

So they didn't just clip him they fully ran over him in a tiny car. So was that the COD or was he dead before hand and just laying there? Hopefully those toxicology reports and autopsy reveal what really happened.

so was the alcohol on the firefighter laying down or the ones in the car? It seems that it could go either way, 1. Who would run over something that large in that small of a car and not stop and 2. who lays in the middle of the road at 0100?
