Heh even with pacing, 3mg atropine, and a liter of fluid his pressure only came up to 85/40

I can't help but think of this: hot as a hare, blind as a bat, dry as a bone, red as a beet, and mad as a hatter. Though you'd have to give more than three to get it....just one of those random thoughts. :p

I was taught "Blind as a bat, dry as a bone, red as a beet, madder than a wet hen."

There are some great topics being discussed in this mega thread that would likely receive far more input/replies in their own threads.

Should this thread just be for off-topic posts? What do you think?

Nah, I like that we can talk about whatever. Even if EMS, I think some people intend on a discussion, or don't want to start a new thread.

It might be nice if something ems related got a large enough response that it might be pulled to its own thread. That way it would be easier to find in a forum search for people looking for a similar topic.

That's a lot of work sorting through the thousands of posts in this thread to find the relevant ones to a suddenly hot topic on EMS and move them to their own thread.

Also, consider this. Somebody comes to this forum because a search pointed them to an answer to a question they had. How would you feel if you had to go through the entire 100% directionless thread to find the information and any subsequent replies?

Oh I absolutely agree. I meant that if something caught a mod's eye it's always a luxury when you move posts to the appropriate place. I certainly wouldn't expect it, since the thread is enormous.

Got my first baby today, well kinda. Dispatch helped dad deliver and my partner and I came and finished the job. Little stimulation, suction and some blowby O's and it was a happy baby.

Now I remember why I got into this career :)

Thank you. Like I said, we didn't do all of it, mom had delivered about 30 seconds before we got there. Right as I was walking through the front door the dispatcher advised us the baby was "out". Still really cool to be a part of.

Nothing like slamming a liter of Hespan to start your day.

Just found out my county protocols look like they are changing to remove backboards altogether. You have no idea how happy this makes me :)

I've got a new way of responding to dispatch when they want a confirmation....."That's confirmative".
