And todays thread CPR award goes too......

You refer to TV as the “brainwash tube” and haven’t deigned to look at one in 30 years; but you’re on the internet/social media? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and I went to public school.

This will likely fall on deaf ears, but I’ll try anyway. Don’t worry about screwing up your first whatever call; not because you won’t but because you absolutely 100% will. It’s the nature of the beast. The first time you do anything it’s going to be a gong show no matter how many times you read...

I don’t know that I could recall the very first. I did a code my second day on the job about 17 seconds after I walked in the door, and that was memorable enough that I only remember my first day in the sense that I know I had one. I was actually a code magnet as a basic. Not so much as a...

We were talking about ketamine, various dosing ranges for different desired affects and based on local protocols. Some were up in arms about the dose. Another brought up the actual(according to that source) toxicity numbers, which we're about 150x the dose administered, which I thought would...

Then we’re having two different conversations. If it is not available by a selected route, you don’t give it that way; so it doesn’t have that route as an option, unless your goal is tilting at windmills. I’m asking if there is a drug that is administered both enterally and parenterally that one...

Asked from a position of bewildered ignorance, is there a medication in the usp you could take 150x the amount of enterally vs. parenterally? I can’t think of one, but there’s probably one or two zany examples.

Sure, the more the merrier; but how much? That's what separates profit and bankruptcy.

So, looking for ideas here. Do you(anybody) think this would work best as a 1:1 VILT type deal or as pre canned virtual scenarios that, given the time, you could memorize and put up great scores but not learn anything? 1:1 would obviously have to cost more and be scheduled. What do you think...

It sounds like we're asking the same questions. The rules for ours were decided by the State(what questions to ask etc). The state even uses the same PCR system as their EMS data aggregation tool for compliance; so they wrote the rules and the questions and then forced an update on my PCR form...

We added COVID-19 as a reason for transport, a reason no signature(s) was/were obtained, added a COVID questionnaire to the assessment, and I instructed people to detail their PPE in narrative. That's about it. The thing is at my current gig, we don't receive our billings, or any money...

I don’t know of such, but now I have an idea for my next quarantine project. What did I do with that python book...

Fair.

So, AMR?

Well, half of that is probably going to happen...

Yeah, you got me. All of us who see nuance and alternative management options where you aren't able to are just evil people. That follows logically, right? There are states that have very, very limited options. Toradol is great. I've given tons of it, but we only got it here two years ago...

I’d be happy to help. Others here seem to be more the sit and watch you suffer for their own perverse enjoyment...

Im not spending the time breaking all of that down. "as someone who has had 10/10 atraumatic back pain off and on forever" -- Do you notice how I put " " around my 10/10. Those are quotes, where "air quotes" go when they land. I have three slipped disks and five Fxs that didn't heal right. I...

Any of you medics out there who think patients only deserve analgesia if you have bones sticking out or 90% burns etc can pick your favorite cheek and pucker up. I have nothing but loathing and disdain for each and every one of you. Try a little humanity on for size. Administering narcotic...

You must be new here. Conversations here aren't allowed to naturally reroute themselves to follow a train of thought. Here, we're required to jump cut every transition into a new thread because...reasons.
