We got a pulse back today to. A very pretty sinus tach that turned into Asystole on the way to the hospital

Good night ...... it is already 1:17 AM
I'm going to go to bed. The day will tomorrow be very long and my shift in the football stadium will begin at 4:30 PM. I have been getting up at 8:00 AM for breakfast and then I have to do a few things.

I really hope that will save me this time of an allergic reaction because of the new pants.:unsure:
 
Emergent IFT for a ruptured ectopic today. Just found out she coded in the OR. Pretty bummed for the husband. She was compensating decently en route, talking, a few smiles and laughs :(
 
I have an addiction to ellipsis...
 
Dear professors,

You win some you lose some. I know I didn't do anything wrong, that's for sure.
 
I'm bored. No I seriously am, I havent had a patient yet today. Sometimes having an FTO partner sucks.

And we almost had a flight crew pick up. Which would have made for 4 Medics, 1 RN, and possibly 2 EMTs, plus the patient.
 
Snoozin'. Reading a book on my kindle. Kicked back in a recliner. Thinking about lunch.

Thats my day at work so far.

Those EMT students sure would be disappointed if they saw me now.
 
How is it that I clean the house and go shopping the day before shift, and then come back home after work to find dishes in the sink, mud on the floor, and half my food gone? Are you :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing serious?

All these years and hundreds of 12 leads and I finally had a STEMI yesterday. I feel like a real medic again...I was starting to think I was going to burn in UTI hell forever.

I don't know what it is about the acuity of the patients I see, but they are usually all just fine. I've probably had 5 patients who actually NEEDED my help in the past 6 months. That's 5 out of probably 500.

I know the feeling. Every 12-lead I've done has been pretty uneventful. I've only ever transported one STEMI and that was an IFT call.

Since I've been in my FTO it seems that every call has been a UTI or mechanical GLF.

This is why I'm not a fan of the "put a medic on every call" mentality. If you don't see a fair number of high acuity calls, you rust out. Fewer medics means more high acuity calls per medic. Now, I see my share of UTIs and GLFs, but far fewer than when I was working as a medic at a private. Most of what I do now are true ALS level calls.
