So... did it end up as a fight and he just walked out or did he just disappear on his own terns? Being a guy, Sometimes I know that there are times where I just want to take a break from it all and kinda be MIA for a while to get my s**t together so that I can come back totally refreshed and...

totally know that feeling, early rig gets 2 calls... we (the late car) usually get 6-8

We have a popeyes chicken next to a SNF where we pick up dialysis patients.... so the biscuts and mashed potatoes is a good snack. Muscle milks in a cooler are a good replacement for food and then there's traditional snack food like trailmix and the such.

Somehow, I think that it may be reffering to electrode interference with movement. This is commonly seen when I monitor telemetry at the hospital when patients move around and their leads get jiggled. That being said, I think perhaps that movement of the ambulance could cause a slight...

You know you bring up the word "honorable" which I'd like to define 3: performed or accompanied with marks of honor or respect 4a : attesting to creditable conduct b : consistent with an untarnished reputation 5: characterized by integrity : guided by a high sense of honor and duty...

Sorry for your loss, Our economy is tough and I know that having someone you love leave can just add extra stress on top of preexisting stress which isn't healthy of course. I'd recommend trying to do things that will distract your mind from the negatives, listen to music and "veg" out, go...

Exactly what I was thinking. New onset AFIB could throw a clot and cause the lack of responsiveness. If it was me, High Flow O2 for Cardiac/Neuro, monitor and transport. If he was responsive and field stroke assessment had yielded a positive inclination for stroke, initial dosing of TPA could...

Our provider is BLS only.... meaning no ALS rigs Transport time to hospitals in LA is about the same amount of time as calling in an ALS Rig... unless you're in traffic... unless you get auth to got Code... which would never happen for N/V....

Gonna have to use that one!

Eh... i'm more into football than baseball.... unless i'm actually in the stands.

Smith and Wesson First Response. Is got the seatbelt cut and glass punch in it. It's also sharp tipped though, so I shank someone if I get into a gang war with the crips in Compton :rofl:

I'm on a BLS rig....... :rolleyes: we don't get those cool drugs

You have to look at all the aspects to say the least. -EMS is not a high paid profession, compared to other aspects in the medical field. -You deal with family and friends in a whole other scenario as opposed to a clinical setting (people getting emotional and the sort) ...and many...

I've heard that O2 helps Nausea/Vomiting & Pain. I know that many people will go Tachy or Brady when they vomit as well, which in turn could (minimally) reduce their SPO2 saturation. Personally, If someones condition is not contraindicated with giving O2, I'll give it. Never really hurts...
