I hate the FL DOH. Taking the state exam for my medic has been an awful experience. It's frustrating the hell out of me.

What's wrong with their EKG?

 

[Anjel]

What's wrong with their EKG?

Pericarditis.

She is 250#, IDDM, been having chest pain for 3 weeks. Her mom just now "believed" her.

 

[Aprz]

That sucks. The EKG doesn't really strike me as pericarditis. It looks more like benign early repolarization to me.

 

[Angel]

well i suck at reading ekgs then....pericarditis how?

 

[Anjel]

Diffuse elevation. Mainly in the precordials.

I would agree with the repolarization, but coupled with her signs and symptoms and other clinical findings.

We took her to the speciality Children's hospital to see a cardiologist.

Edit: this was an IFT by the way

Not a disappointment, was just on the fence... I'm not going to tell you not to wear a wig though...

Ha. See, I wasn't the only one.

I liked the repost of the story about Fort Collins Colorado putting bike racks on the ambulance. I did not like the comments. Instead of real exercise, I like to get in internet fights to get my pulse up.

I just like to see PVH EMS getting some visibility. They do some really great work and I learned a lot there. They've had bike racks on the field supervisor ambulance for a long time, but I'm sure it got pretty tiresome to have the supe come out to transport every single bike from accidents (seriously, all the time in FoCo).

Mix a Sandy dirt road with whoops and that makes for a very bumpy ride in the ambulance. I didn't want to slow down at all since our units are only 2 wheel drive

I think it's awesome! I finally made it to Tour de Fat last year, it was amazing!

Negative. 56's area (sky valley) so pretty much DHS.

Just curious as to opinions on hot/warm/cold.
