I mean I’m not sure if I would have driven into the crowd that was crowd crushing people to literal death without a full police escort I kind of applaud them for not just black tagging these people, most of which were minors, I’d personally hate to throw in the towel on kids but I also of...

True can’t argue that That’s not what I was meaning, I was more so asking based upon drparasites response, I know most event companies generally ask for multiple years of experience.

Ours is offering jack squat, yet we have to down units for lack of medics, and we are being paid 17$/hr which is about the lowest paying medic job in socal at this point…. Soooo we don’t get anyone

the firefighter admitted to messing up if thats what you're reffering to, but i say they were under equipped for the event if they did not have an aed or cardiac monitor, not sure on if it was staffed strickly bls or als mix, but there should be an aed/monitor per crew of 2? and only one ambubag...

i was just about to start a thread on this, on reddit there is supposed a firefighter that was on scene during this event and he himself screwed up treating a patient but the paradocs paramedics or emt's not sure what they staffed for the incident where way under equipped and staffed, is...

This was my intent, just purely seeking deeper thought, as I’ve quite literally have never seen a reaction like what this cop had from opiates/synth opiates. I can see a rookie and large amounts of very powerful drugs causing heightened anxiety, that’s seems to be a totally reasonable reaction...

I’m not gonna lie I was considering this at first with presentation and then found out about muscle rigidity. Obviously wasn’t there so everything is with a grain of salt.

I’m just trying to learn because it seemed off and we frequently run on fentanyl overdoses at the numerous casinos including dealers with also large quantities of drugs

Have a look at this article: Unable to read it, I don’t have a subscription Also have been indulging in this article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6863461/

ah ok, I usually do 50mcg increments, most refuse or say they’re ok at 1 of 50mcg, sometimes they want more but it’s rare. but we have the standing order to push x1 100mcg with 2x50mcg after that totaling 200mcg. this leads me into another question, say you get this chest wall rigidity...

Interesting, we give fent pretty often, I’ve never seen the chest wall rigidity reaction, but I’m also very conservative with how much I push at any given time same with the myoclonus, admittedly I had to look that one up. learn something new everyday. I assume with versed it’s possible to have...

Also true, working prehospital generally don’t see moments leading up to the event, only the aftermath

Attached a YouTube link, looks to have been touching it without gloves hands, just seems weird

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/sheriffs-deputy-overdoses-exposure-fentanyl-arrest/story%3fid=79324033 So after watching this, seems like the weirdest overdose I’ve seen, just looking at physical presentation of the patient. I’ve never seen anyone eyes open, and holding...

if anyone could message me about applying to calfire FFII medic spot i would truly appreciate it!

I would love to have istat machines an ambulances, would be amazing for sepsis testing lactic acid, trop on mi’s/chest pain, dialysis patients, ect we have long transport times to even the closest let alone specialty facilities, 30 mins is short for us, 2+hrs is long, so we could def run a few...

My favorite is that one road we all have in our areas that have nice rhythmic bumps, literally every time we are on said road the monitor reads vtach and freaks out alarms blaring. That is white philips monitors and we recently switched to zoll x/r series and same thing happens still.

You may be able to work for a dispatch center but there is no way if you’re limited to light duty essentially to work in the field.

This is exactly the issues, half the SoCal fire medics don’t want to be medics. They got their p cards to be a firefighter. They’re already pre burned out running bs medical aids and theirs tons of them especially etoh’ers.

I will say I am by no means extremely versed in the knowledge of vaccines but I understand the general principal of how they work. I self educate, maybe I need to do more on vaccines, specifically on Covid. But I do seek out things I generally do not understand for simple self betterment or to...
