If it was a new onset of facial drooping I wouldn't have cancelled medics. This thread kind of went into focusing more on glucose than the actual tia, but only BLS would do such a thing. ^_^.

I wear gloves for every patient but I could care less about the patient touching stuff. Nothing wipes can't fix. On Saturday we were about to lift a patient from stretcher to dialysis chair. The lady had a jacket on and no contact precautions. There was a guy on the scale post treatment that...

try to observe in an ED or become a tech in an ED. You'll see BLS and ALS give reports so you'll know what info the nurses need to know and what questions they'll probaably ask. It's been helpful for me improving my reports.

half of your patients won't be able to sign your computer. They will have troble gripping the pen or make an illegible signature. Just wait until you say ""ma'am, you can't drag you hand/pinky onthe screen, I only the pen.". You can always have the tablet signed by a capped pen or the opposite...

UVA medic, medstar one in savannah changed to gray ambulances a few years ago. I guess they used to be white with green. Now they are gray with orange.

I that last post, yeah that wouldn't fly. So I got denied by that patient a bit ago. Literally right after I posted that a doc decided during an interview that he was going to tube a patient and got me. I was outside of the room. Patient consented and success. Now the next one is in a half hour...

I stopped sitting in on surgeries on day 2 after 2 instances of a doc trying to find me to intubate patients that were still in holding. I also stopped hanging out in the breakroom and hang out by the pre-op rooms where the interveiws are done and will ask the doc if that case will e a tube or...

haha! Preceptor. You're funny. I'm kind of on my own in their. Most of the dogs know I'm there for tubes but they can tube everyone. A few wouldn't mind tubing everyone, but the lady that runs the gig wants LMAs and no unnessessary intubations. It's just the frequency of tubes is rare or it...

Excuse spelling and grammar. I'm working from an iPod here.

I go in at 630am and I find the anesth charge for the day to look at the schedule and he'll tell me which cases are tubes. Then I'll go to that anesthesiologist and find out most of the time that they are just going to use an LMA. They even invite me to do the LMA but now it getting to the wire...

so I am currently doing my clinicals for medic school and other OR. I have 5 tubes so far, but I need a total of 10 tubes. I'm not having any trouble actually intubating. The problem is the hospital I am at uses LMA's and tries to avoid ETTs. The docs are more than happy to let me put LMAs in...

I'm not a fan of lifeline. Action is based out of Woburn too and haven't heard bad things. Armstrong - drive 5minutes down the road for their hq Eastern - very small but also in Woburn. Cataldo - good rep, has a good stronghold on its service area, rivals action Atlantic - a division of...

Are you a dog person or cat person?

quiet pt's. The loud ones are either HofH or you ask about their medical hx and they tell you about how they sliced off their finger tip when they ran a landscaping business in the 70s and how many people hey had that worked for them and go on and on. It's hard to interupt those people.

124 and passed. I knew nothing about how the test worked before going. I thought it was like the mass testing with 100 questions. I wasn't thrilled seeing question 101.

trick question, lemmy is god. Too obscure? Besides clinicals I spend more than 10 hours a week reading and/or listening to music.

I paid 25 dollars to ny state for my reciprocity.

Who would win in a wrestling match, lemmy or god?

I know I had a good shift if I didn't have to use the stairchair.

I believe you can get Bauer pants without the side pockets.
