Ah, very true., If u want, u can complain about them on my other post., But thinkin about it, why not

Has anyone had any interesting psychiatric pt's lately?

hmmm, lets see, 5 yrs VS 3 wks, yeah that makes no sense, especially with that many facilities, as for the smoking, if they had a problem smoking outside then i suggested them to quit which got some of them angry(others knew i was being a smartass)., But yeah that sucks, just can't always get...

My view is the same, FD fights fire, EMS takes care of the sick and dying., Although my town is kinda weird even though there may be the same services elsewhere., We have a combo paid/vollie fire with EMS during 6-1800 hrs., We also have volunteer FA that takes care of the rest., I've been on...

Alright, got another one., We have this guy that's a pain in the :censored:., He's originally from AZ, he pretty much comes into work whenever he feels like it and uses excuses everyday why he's gonna be late., He's notorious for calling out at the last minute jipping his partner of anytime...

I'm on combination fire dept., and we're kinda at war with each other., I know it's stupid and sad but the fact is I know that my department isn't the only one., The main problem besides the paid chief switching the mutual aid line up (that pissed off our neighboring township districts), is...

Ok, I guess I can share afew I've ran into., Two are EMT's, one is a dispatcher/former EMT., The two techs are in my current company., The one came from the white collar world and is a rookie., This genius wanted me to ride the shoulder goin hot to an emergency in minor traffic on the highway...

As far as I know their always lookin here in Jersey., I think my company still has afew openings

While trying to transfer Pt to bed dispatch calls and asks if we're clear., We said transferring Pt why?., Got ER on floor below us for CP requesting medics., Ok, so we transfer the Pt., get the sigs and goto the floor., When we get there and ask about the emergency they look at us like we're...

Before I share some of the people that I had to pull a shift with, I would like to hear your personal horror stories., Just curious if they were just as nasty/nastier than the ones I had.

We did a head/toe with the sheet, sorry forgot to mention that.

In regards to the CC, I was driving and my partner was teching., I do have experience driving the TypeIII's., He didn't have any and asked if I wouldn't mind driving, which I didn't mind at all., I actually kinda enjoy driving those.

I just want to clarify things I fully understand that the emergency itself was not BS, sorry if it sounded like that., I meant that the circumstances about the call such as switching out rigs, etc. was BS., With the stretcher situation the reason we got that was because I believe it was...

I see what your getting at but this is strictly just a mental compound I should say., It's pretty huge., I think there's at least 4-5 different buildings., I think each has different levels of what kind of psych pt. they house., The one we went to we frequently visit if were in the area., The...

well the pt was delusional and that's why they refused vitals being taken., As far as the no pain, I think my partner was trying something in the back but I was focusing more in the road., Plus the pt was transported in recovery pos., They were in the same pos on their bed., Granted you make an...

Quote: the nurse of how the Pt. got the injury(she smelled the BS too), The nurse probably did not think the patient or his injury was BS but rather the way it was obtained since certain basic safety issues were violated. that is what I meant, not the injury., I never would think an injury...

I'm still alittle steamed about the thing., I did leave out some info., The PH we were going to was at least a half hour away from base and the hospital., The text message only told us the pickup, destination, Pt. weight, and that it was an emergency., When we got there the staff didn't even...

shears, pen, penlight, littman, box o' gloves in my bookbag, and my personal ADR multi-cuff kit.

For pulse, obviously go for radial, sometimes when your bouncing around you need to squeeze a little harder but not too much., If you have no luck there move up the arm and use the brachial as last resort, you could also use the other arm if you have no luck there either., As for BP, one trick I...

I used to work for a company similar(thankfully my checks didn't bounce or else we'd be having some words), on one day, I had one rig die, and another that wouldn't start, and we also didn't carry any AED's on the rigs., The owner kept them locked in the office for fear that an employee would...
