    I'm pulling an all-nighter because I cannot drink this as fast as the instructions say. Hope the doctor appreciates a citrus-scented colon, because I've been adding straight lemon juice to make it more of a briny lemonade. Also was joking around in a disability memes social media group and that...

    Forget ABCs in Trauma... it's now MARCH

    I seem to remember that we covered using a pelvic binder in EMT class in WI, but I may be misremembering which level. I know what you're talking about, for pelvic ring fractures Edit: just websearched, we have it as a skill for EMR on up

    How do I get over my emetophobia?

    Exposure therapy with a qualified professional is an excellent route. Just exposure in and of itself can be helpful, but actual exposure therapy includes coping skills training and slowly increasing levels of exposure

    I'm such a professional roughhouser that I can absentmindedly mount a effective defense against three young niblings while I focus on the plot of a new Bluey episode. It does help that preschoolers are amateurs at absolutely everything.

    I have a few questions

    I would make tourniquet plural and add knowing how to use them before they are needed. But that's me in a rural environment where farm accidents and MVCs far from assistance are not uncommon.

    Love that I can walk into an urgent care at 10:30 pm and get strep test results in about twenty minutes and a dose of antibiotics on the spot, with a prescription to pick up tomorrow. I deeply appreciate having such easy access to basic medical care.

It has been the case at some points in history that deviation from the norm was suppressed through forcible means and societal stigma. It is not so...

    My biggest physiology nerd moment is listening to Duality by Slipknot and assuming the lyrics, "I push my fingers into my eyes / It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache" referred to the oculocardiac reflex. The fun part is that I looked at the song background and the assumption may be...

    Matt Walsh wrecks this dude who claims to be an EMT

    You can be both intersex and trans, but nothing about being intersex would imply identifying as trans. Obviously @Kavsuvb is the last word on their own identity and also does not owe us any breakdown of said identity, but I'm wondering if @DrParasite is mixing up not fitting easily into the...

    @DrParasite are you perhaps conflating being intersex with being transgender?
