I've spent most of the day sleeping after I got off work this morning and took the pups out. I'm on a 24 tomorrow... Ugh

Or 7.5 of plastic if you ask some of my coworkers.
That seems a bit.....Excessive....

The way our weather has been, rotor for 24 would be perfect. I don't think we would turn a blade

From my supervisor: "Narcan is for [various epithets regarding female anatomy], and you don't know that it's just opiates." Fine boss, good talk.

Anyone good with financial things? I am thinking about buying a new car. I currently have $10K to spend. I owe around $8K on my current car. Am I better off paying off my car then trading it in or trading it in and putting the 10K down? Or does it matter.
So let's burden an ED with a patient that now requires more resources than usual when they realistically don't even need to go at all.....That's dumb.

I would not do well in Tejas (though I'm headed to Austin for the weekend). In a few months I'll be my own medic and it will no longer matter. As it stands now I take every call, so I call the shots. If they have evidence to prove I'm wrong, I remediate.

But we could make ourselves feel like badasses by tubing someone.
If someone presents with any inkling of polypharm OD, I'll intubate them. But most opiate ODs do not need that.

Three hours into my volunteer CR shift... Not a single call..... Might go to 6 am on a no hitter... Been doing this two years and I still don't like nights like this. I still have the rookie I wanna help everyone energy! My partner is total opposite and loves nights like this (he's been here awhile). Maybe that's why we work well together lol.

Wouldn't that depend also on how much your car is worth? I owe like 10k on mine but it's probably worth 6-7 maybe
Has that not raised questions by the people who have to deal with the extubation to your supervisors?
Absolutely. However if it walks like a duck....I think I remember you mentioning this a while back.

True. Car is worth around $14K.

1. @EpiEMS help a brotha out mah dude
2. Cars worth 14, IMO i'd sell, pay off the 8, pocket some. Still have interest building up, future maintenance fees ect. Especially if your approaching that deadly 65k-80k mile range on the car, where serpentine belts/timing belts are shot, pumps start to fade ect.

Our old medical director was very anti narcan, it was supposed to be for "kiddo get's into grandpa's pain meds" only. Our new medical director put a stop to that and frankly went too far the other way (Narcan in every arrest??). But they still find ways to justify things. We were a rocking service in the mid 2000s, time to get with the times.
