So right now it's just a CCT ambulance. I carry 6 Sapphire pumps, a Hamilton T1, and a box with Roc/versed when I have that truck. It's IFT purposes only, unfortunately I can't use any of that stuff for 911. The longer term goal from what it sounds like right now is a SUV that will have blood...

I've never had to actually press my button, but this is generally my preferred method.

I know my part time job has that on the mid term horizon, but that's a couple years out. I don't know anyone here that specifically does it

In the sense of I am going to do some prep work first before jumping in with a laryngoscope, absolutely.

Glad you're enjoying it. Is Derek still instructing the class?

In this instance, nothing. Open to interpretation based on personal experience.

Are you not having more difficulty fitting in a ducanto suction cath with it? And any experience using a bougie to guide uncooperative tubes? So far I'm 3/4 with it and I know my 1 was a mix between learning the nuances and not having fully woken up for the call to effectively troubleshoot. I'm...

Well no sooner than I say what I did, I run into an airway that the airtraq didn't do great at. Honestly, I think it was largely a blade sizing error on my part, but I'm still learning the nuances of a channeled blade. I like it for the most part, but I still prefer my McGrath. There are some...

Slowly coming around to liking these Airtraqs. After cleaning the airway, it made pretty easy work of a somewhat difficult airway.

Well in the mean time, walk, baby walk. Once job is a 5-7 minute walk, the other a 65 miles drive. Now that I've long since gotten the round of burnout settled, it might end up being necessary to put those feet to work.

As expensive as things are getting, it may be more affordable to switch back to the city full time given the recent raises there and lack of commute. I'm probably at $3k a year in gas/maintenance costs just to get to work with current prices.

Time to become the trainee again

Who did you go with?

Oh I'm aware it's a thing. Bathtubs with an obese patient and very little work space just isn't my ideal time to mess with it. I've done some unorthodox **** over the years....doing that would probably top them all though lol

On a related note, when I've had OD's of a rather thick build in a bathtub with only room for me to do anything, I have absolutely put an NPA and NRB on and that's all they get until I get an IV and Narcan in. The near apneic oxygenation isn't my preference, but it has been my only good option...

Unless I find myself working in a place where people require absolutely massive doses of Narcan for any effect, I'll never need to intubate a run of the mill OD. I've given an obscene amount of Narcan in my years of urban EMS and not one needed a tube and rarely did I ever have to give a top off...

I'm gonna be buying one for my new 22 one of these days. I've always wanted a suppressed 22 to shoot subs out of.

Right.... He "can't hear you". Probably interrupting whatever plans he had going on lol.

Mostly Aero parts for the majority. CNC trigger flat single stage. 308. Leaning towards a threaded 20" 1:11 barrel for now. Got a spare Vortex Diamondback sitting around needing a gun to go on. Maybe one day it'll get something a bit nicer. Would like a suppressor just because, but that's a way...

Just brought home a Bergara BMR and will be finishing up an AR-10 here in a few months. Want to get the Bergara B14 timber too.
