After almost a year of working as a medic, I finally had to call STEMI. Of course cardiac was not my first path to go down, I had to patch two 12 leads together to get a clean enough read to show it, and the lack of reciprocal changes threw me off...but eh, it was definitely different than his old EKG they had from 10 days ago and the doc didn't look at me like a ham fisted turd for my choice.

Dad is out of surgery now, Mom says the Doc said "VERY large angry appendix but no perforations" so sounds like everything went about as well as it could

Normally it’s people who travel to Mexico and not Canada who end up returning without an organ or two...

Glad he's gonna be okay. Now go study.
You jinxed me that day. 3 years as a medic and only my second STEMI. She was a hot mess too.
Just spreading the love around.
Was she the kind you look at and stemi shoots to the top of your assessment checklist?
Yes. And then some
Those folks are always great at lighting a little fire under ya to get moving.

Did a small group 12-lead lab the other day. My result came out with an Anterior Myocardial Infarction (Leads I, II, III) per the computer interpretation.
My reaction?
".....Let's run that again."
I made LA County Fire Proud today. I will never forget my roots! (Not sure if that's a good thing though)
PS: I had an early repol and that pissed off the interpretation. The second run was clean.
