My parents won a free cruise and I can't go... bummer. They are going Super Bowl weekend to get out of Indy, and nobody is allowed to take PTO during that time. <_<
 
I just went on a chest pain for the one of the drunkest guys I've ever seen. He whacked down at least 20 of those 24oz tall boy beers in the last 4 or 5 hours. Hilarious guy, fantastically inappropriate. He didn't want to go to the ED and I convinced him that it was a good idea. We were all howling when he looked at me and said, "You are a huge MFer. You tell me to go to the hospital, I'm going!"

After I popped that up we had a code 3 return to the ER, and 2 more ALS calls + a couple ILSers.

I don't mind driving but damn! All day every day.

All I've had was a general illness and a lady with abdominal pain who looked at me and said: "you look like you're 12" :(

Really surprised at the lack of basic rn skills at some of these nursing homes, got a 911 run and the nurse says he is just sleeping with a gcs of 3, didn't even posture to painful stimuli. Ended up giving him narcan after finally getting the nurse to admit they had given him morphine instead of tylenol on accident...

On accident? How?

At my last job, any controlled substances took two keys to get to, and had to be logged in the drug log with: the date, bottle number, patient name, how much we gave them, and how much was left in the bottle. In the patient's file we had to: log the date, what we gave, what route we gave it, how much we gave, and initial it. We also had to mark on the patient's treatment chart that we gave it.

I don't want to believe that a human facility would have lower standards than a veterinary facility, but I have a nagging suspicion that its not uncommon.
 
Oh God, Ambulance Driver's new blog post regarding concealed carry firearms is making its way through various Facebook groups, along with the requisite "Guns are bad and dangerous on their own" herpdy derp.
 
Just did a glidescope intubation at the ED. (a combative bath salts overdose) I am sold! What a cool tool.

While I was staying with my dad at the nursing home prior to his surgery I would find random pills on the floor all the time, and this was one of the best nursing homes in town :(
