In regard to pressors, I would probably start off with something that doesn't increase the heart rate much, levophed. Personally, his 12-lead doesn't even look like a STEMI to me. Is that the one they called a STEMI? Any immediate info on what made them think STEMI? Troponin? Since they are...

I haven't seen this done prehospitally or in the emergency department when I pick up patients.

Everyone complains about California, but I think Nevada takes the cake on being one of the most annoying states to try to get licensed with. I am very annoyed.

Never heard of being able to get a diastolic blood pressure via palpation. It would've been nice if you linked the article, but I found it here https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/622238. I face palmed reading the third paragraph.

I thought it was already live. www.airmethods.com/ascend/ I don't know how employees access it, but it does have a free trial. I decided to sign up for that and give it a try.

Gen whatever? What the heck is that?

Personally, I wouldn't talk to him about it. I feel like it is an unnecessary awkward conversation that can worsen the situation. Talking to him is essentially putting it on him to change. What I think needs to change is you. First, just make sure you're being nice and try to smile. Smiling...

Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but I don't think they said their info is from 12 years ago. Their mom recently had hip replacement.

The places I've mentioned is less than half of the places I've worked. I think it's just a big wall of text so maybe you got confused or misunderstood. I always like writing Harry Potter novel length posts, lol. I was complaining about my pay at my current company, but don't have a problem...

My manager told me I needed to ask >60 days in advance. I only asked 35 days in advance. I don't know the rules enough to challenge him. I am annoyed, but a month should be enough time for me to find coverage. If I don't find coverage, I am the type of person to show up even if I don't want to...

I keep trying to use vacation. I keep getting denied. I always find new ways to get denied.

A county I used to work in started doing this years ago. They started doing it after I left. I have not attempted this, but honestly, shockable rhythms are pretty infrequent for me. I've seen them only a handful of times in like the past decade.

Probably the most important update... did she survive????

This job will sacrifice you in a heart beat for a cold half eaten hotpocket on the ground. Don't sacrifice your life for this job. Girlfriend > work everytime, especially if you work in EMS.

Colorado license is one of the cheaper licenses to get, lol. I think it was something silly like $1.60 or something like that "donated" to get it?

Greenfield? Where or what is that? I would be so grateful if they opened a base in Greenfied, CA or something more North, lol. I don't recognize acronym ISR. I assume it means In Service Rate.

I don't even bother buying stethoscopes anymore. I just look for the newest EMR or EMT and ask to borrow theirs. :]

On top of lower reimbursements due to the No Surprise Act, there's a problem with staffing due to a shortage of nurses not willing to fly for lower pay than travel/hospitals and pilots just in general. Maybe this will improve staffing and increase in the service rate for bases since employees...
