You know that feeling when you just want life to go away and stop being such a bother? I need something other than alcohol to drown myself in right now. Any good (legal) suggestions?

Oh wait, maybe sleep will work......

Nothing like summer residents showing up at their house and finding a drunk, homeless guy passed out in front of their garage.

That was a 9E1 that quickly became a no patient. :)

I want to cook some eggs, but the damn kitten will be on the counter, on the stove, in the fridge, in the eggs, swinging from the table....sigh. It might not be worth the chaos.

I love him, though. I swear. :wacko:

I was going through my closet grabbing all the clothes I don't wear, and I have 12 hoodies in my closet.


12. I live in Texas! But I actually do wear all of them during the 'winter' :p

My thing is jeans. I seriously have close to 20 pairs. :unsure:
Or rather, I did before I got rid of a bunch. Now I'm down to 11. :wacko:

Negative ghost rider, 66 year old. Now in the ICU. I had a PA try to argue with me that he was having runs of VT until the CCP came up and backed up my interpretation.

Just found out from a long time medic at my company that a little while back in order to get in one gang you had to shoot/kill a police officer, firefighter, or EMS worker.

Our protocol for that year was drive really fast to the scene of any call, scoop them up ASAP, and transport really fast to the hospital. During that time a lot of our employees went out and bought bullet resistant vests. Crazy :wacko:

Meh.;)..sounds like campfire stories based solely on the fact that there are too many people joining gangs to make this logistically or economically feasible...

Given the area that this took place in its highly likely. Mix it in with 2 medics that I've heard it from now and the fact that some neighborhoods we still operate the same way (getting on scene quickly and getting the heck out of there quickly).

Probable DIC (basically your body forms a lot of small clots that uses up all of the coagulation factors) with a D-Dimer that almost reached 1000, fixed, dilated pupils, no response to pain, no cornea reflex response, 100/40 or so maxed out on 2 pressers. I felt really bad for the resident who was trying to work with the family.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to be offended that you just explained DIC to me ya jackwagon. Although I'm sure you could run circles around me and my understanding of it so I don't want to get into it with you :p

What about the 10 other people who aren't you who are wondering what the heck this DIC thing is.
