Bloodborne pathogen training in 10 Seconds.....

"If its wet, sticky, and not yours, DON'T TOUCH IT!!!"

Another way to remember it is...

"it its icky and or sticky and not yours, DON'T TOUCH IT!!!"

I once heard a great acronym for a fat 40-something shoveling snow who has an MI, and came accross a case like it earlier this week, and the name escaped me. Can anyone help me? It was at-pandemic proportions in New England earlier this week...

EMS Every Minute Sucks

 

[RESQ_5_1]

When I worked in LA County, we had one we frequently used:

LHP 2.2 - Larry H. Parker got me 2.2 million dollars.

Larry H. Parker was a local injury lawyer that advertised on t.v. One of his "clients" was a man who would state; "Larry H. Parker got me 2.2 million dollars".

This term is used to describe the pt that is ambulatory on scene with no c/c until the ambulance arrives. Then, they have sudden neck/back pain and proceed to loudly proclaim they are going to sue.

No, they call 911 when they cant control their kids.
Remember, DO NOT OFFER TO SHOOT THE KID.
