OK folks,
We've all made some real boners in the field, if we're lucky our partners are there to play interference, or lessen the effects
And hey, if it's true that we learn from our mistakes my head should,nt fit our the door soon, methinks i've made quite a few....
So here's your chance to share a story, here's mine
Unconsious 40+- yr old male OD, vomitus makes everything kind greasy doesn't it? , Medic called in, bagged BVM enroute, 2 large bores started, narcan, etc...(he had a pulse) Dude was Hep-positive too...
In the shuffle i got pissed off at one of the IV tubing packages that would'nt open, so i PUT IT IN MY MOUTH to tear it open with my teeth!
it was wet too....when i got home i realized what i'd done ( you know how that instant replay is...) i nearly s**t
maybe i should invest in some extra PPE ?
