I feel like I missed something... I guess I am a little oblivious to the world and what is going on on EMTLIFE with medic school.

Since I've been gone. I've been off work. I fx my hip. Been doing physical therapy. Hoping to go back to work next Tuesday.

My nursing Clinicals have started, and I have to do one more concept map I may scream.

Other than that; life is good.

You were gone? Didn't notice

 

[Angel]

How did you fracture your hip??

 

[Anjel]

I fell on the ice at work. Hairline fx of the femoral head. More like a small crack. I'm still having issues with inward rotation so I may need an MRI before work to make sure I didn't sustain a labral tear.

What's up with the femoral neck fx's around here? ;(
Be glad it's a quick heal

Solution = Don't work anywhere there is ice haha

Be careful on the ice out there. Look what I did to myself walking into the ED for my second day of clinicals...

One plate, 10 screws, three fractures and a 3 hour procedure.

 

[9D4]

Christ. We're all broken.
I blame @Handsome Robb for starting it

 

[MonkeyArrow]

I was just about to say it but 9D4 beat me to it, what is up with all the injuries of people on this forum?

Oh wow...news reports that Harrison Ford involved in a small plane crash he was piloting here in LA....they're showing an old pre-WWII trainer crashed in a park area, mostly in one piece and that he was taken to a local Trauma Center in "fair to moderate" condition (pretty good considering)

Well he does pilot the millennium falcon.

Just got my Bates guide to physical examination. I'm done with medic school and still studying, I must be sick

Had my first delivery last night, on a late call that I really did not want to take. Fire walked her to our ambulance, told me she was having contractions and a "tiny bit" of bleeding, and then peaced. One of them offered to ride in half hardheartedley but no one (including mom) seemed to be panicked and mom said she wasn't even sure they were "real contractions." In the course of a maybe four minute transport things got out of hand.

I called my patch, went to get a line started, mom yelled at me for trying to stick her in the wrist, and then immediately began to bleed heavily. Then her water broke but I was still not thinking imminent delivery and neither was mom, or at least that's what she said. I yelled at my (medic) partner to hurry up and get there or pull over. I got up to get some oxygen on mom, tripped on the cot, went down to the floor, and then breathed a sigh of relief as I saw we were pulling into the bay. I got back up, mom screamed "it's coming!" I yelled, the ambulance went into park and in the time it took my partner to get to the back mom delivered in one mighty effort as I lunged to catch. I missed.

My partner said he opened the doors to find me staring at the baby with a deer in the headlights look. "Dude, it's out," is what I said I guess. My partner hopped in and started drying the baby, I blew up the OB kit trying to open it, and another crew is running over thinking we have a combative patient. Finally we get the baby who was completely nonplussed about the whole thing and required zero care besides a tiny bit of suction back to mom. Mom is bleeding quite heavily so we boogied into the resus room and some fundal massage and oxytocin got things under control. Meanwhile everyone is all excited and I'm still shocked at how fast things happened. it was her fourth baby and I knew that meant things could go quicker, but not that fast.

Room for improvement, suffice to say.

Also I forgot to get a signature on the PCR for the baby and got yelled by billing before getting off at three hours late. Hooray!

Oh god I never thought about that before. Her having the kid means (for my company at least) that there would have to be 2 PCRs for the call.
