Okay, bit of a back story hear. I was recently on a call for a non-emergency patient. Because a bunch of us on base that day (myself included) do not have EVOC, there were four people on the crew. So, we're transporting non-emergency to a hospital for a pain patient, and she complains the whole way about being nauseous, so of course we give her an emesis bag. Well, we're literally thirty seconds from the emergency curb, and she starts puking. I have a problem with vomit, I can stand the sight, and the smell, but if I hear it I start gagging too. So when she starts vomiting, I know what's coming next, so I jump out the side of our truck. There are two people left in back, one of whom is a medic, so I didn't abandon.
I told you that story so I could ask this: How do you get over problems with emesis? any tips are appreciated, and feel free to laugh at this one, it's a joke at the service now and probably will be for a while.
