It cherry picked itself. Was watching that interview when I paused and dropped in here. Valid contention. Ignoring the many expert warnings of a second wave and calm before the storm scenarios, which proved spot on. So the contention is based upon people getting frustrated and becoming...

Then opened it right back up prematurely. Compare Thailand statistics to the US. Thailand shut down in February and has just started to reopen this week. Other examples are easily available. Cue the 'economy' argument. Rachael Maddow's interview in this video is very much worth a listen...

Sense of smell finally returning. This AM the powerful reek of the perfume in laundry detergent and my eggs and sausage breakfast, not jesting or exaggerating, smelled like fish fried in diesel oil. C-19 combined with a neurological condition is not recommended. Amen to that. Glad she's on the...

Patient wrapped and packaged, in the unit. Partner checking closely on patient called out to me to do a perimeter check. 30 feet from the vehicle on the other side of a 4 foot high wall I found a second victim. Patient in unit had whispered, "Where's Mike?" 17 years after we gave the new board...

Re: A common and prevalent mentality expressed by some people here, the 'According to Hoyle' mindset. If it isn't done this way or if these procedures aren't the present standard or circumstances appear extraordinary or isn't the demographic that I work with it didn't happen, can't be correct...

Very poor. I'm elderly with a couple of chronic conditions. And just to set the record straight, I am very much pro vaccine. Aside from knowing the basic science, have semi functional pre-frontals able to weigh the lesser of evils, and I worked with a medical team through the heartbreaking...

So us several million anaphylactoid or worse sufferers are S.O.L. and have to rely heavily on the mask and distancing cooperation as our front line. Or bite the bullet and risk going through that end all be all toes to hair line mega itch for a week or two. I'll say the redundant and obvious...

Any updates on potential allergic reactions to the shot? That is one extremely broad precaution statement. "People with a history of significant allergic reactions should not have the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid jab, regulators say."

Meanwhile, the battle of the politicians rages with the Ministry of Tourism winning the latest round. CDC and Ministry of Public Health being sidelined. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2032075/thailand-now-open-to-the-whole-world I've tentatively diagnosed the problem. Politicians...

Meanwhile in Wonkyland, S.E. Asia. Border jumper. Socializing elite rich kid and suspected part time hooker develops classic symptoms, tests positive. Shared a cigarette with occupants of a 'girl bar'. Roamed a mall, shopping center and visited a theater. Contact tracing of around 350 people...

All the same, a very good list. Consider updating it? It could be added, some of those jobs have EMT as a plus for applicant consideration, or mandatory. Incident a friends kid, an SO related a while back. Local had a heart attack in a parking lot. Two vacationers jumped on it and had a save...

1986. You're good. The year I revamped the radio system. Trivia. Nurse friend just retired from that place. I asked her what she thought about the radio tower. What radio tower? She worked there for 44 years and has never seen it. 115 feet tall all of 50 feet away from staff parking. Nobody...

Patient called for ambulance herself. (Blunt force trauma plus ecotopic pregnancy rupture later determined). ALS fussed for 15+ minutes trying to get a peritoneal fluid draw. Dispatch to ER ~50 minutes. Brought in comatose, critical - hemorrhagic shock.

S.E. Asia dengue incidence varies drastically from locale to locale. Thailand averages 1 out of 3 people contract it at least once in their lives. Our municipality averages 2-3 cases/year, pop. ~1200. Municipality 12 miles south, same pop. 17-25. I've had dengue twice and suspected a third time...

Surprised some techs giving me the stress test. Pulse stayed steady as a rock, <80. Then a break sitting in a chair before the cardio doc came in. Pulse suddenly went to 120. It's one thing to work with patients, but when your own vitals get hammered is extreme disconcerting.

Solved. Doc just called me in. Dengue complications strongly suspected.

C-19, recovered 5 months back. Dengue, 2 months back. Normal vitals 112/68, P 60, Res 40-60. Starting 2-3 weeks ago, at any time during any activity or in repose, tachycardia with pulse >100 during which frequent PVCs noted. Lasts for a few minutes up to several hours. BP occasionally goes up to...
