From all the Redlands guys I talked to they are always short medics. If you’re a medic I’d imagine it’s a short wait time.

If the hospitals are now required to provide food, clothes, shelter on top of medical care why would a homeless person try and better themselves? They have everything they need, no reason to improve their situation. I don’t see how requiring hospitals to provide these social services will...

Ridiculous. This state spends an extraordinarily high amount on the homeless population yet it continues to grow each year. Dumb law.

I’m still trying to get over the fact that there is such a position as “diversity officer” in the armed forces. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though.

Who do you guys use out in the low desert anyway?

1) Yes 2) No 3) Yes, BS emergency medical care

Awesome pictures

I’ve had a couple honest druggies in the last month. It is definitely nice when they stop lying that they didn’t take anything while they are tachy, dilated pupils, diaphretic, and extremely fidgety.

Thanks for all the replies guys. It was an interesting call to say the least

Ya we ended up going stemi, it was a discussion since the pt went unconscious suddenly with a blown right pupil and fixed gaze to the right. We were thinking hemorrhagic stroke, but we went cardiac route anyway.

Had a pt with a STEMI and a possible CVA.... stroke center or stemi center that is the question...

IA’d two working structure fires in 2 days. That was a good shift, but exhausting

Oh man I’d go crazy! Do you guys have busy stations there?

Got my first torsades in the field. Pt was alert and only c/o weakness. His BP was 70/40 and he was a little pale. Gave some mag and got a monomorphic v tach. Then gave some lido and hung a drip, and got him into an a fib with a decent BP. Cool call

Haha I’ve had my last couple pts in a fib rvr but ya CA can’t do much unless they get unstable enough to cardiovert
