I had a patient several months ago call for shortness of breath. As we walked up to her door, she literally jogged out and hopped on the stretcher and said "Let's go, I can't breathe". Needless to say, I took my time on scene to do a... thorough... assessment.
Clear lungs, 99% room air, 40 EtCO2, no dyspnea, etc etc etc. When I went to start an IV she said "Dont try, you ambulance drivers can never get it"....
So, off we went, me doing nothing but partaking in a staring contest. She started to complain that the ride was too bumpy because my partner was going too fast, so I asked him to slow down. 5 minutes later she said "It's taking too long, we should be there".
I said "Ma'am, you asked us to slow down"
"No need to be rude"
"Ma'am, I'm not being rude, I'm trying to figure out what you want us to do"
"Well why aren't you doing anything for my breathing?!"
"Because ma'am, you're having no trouble holding a conversation with me. If you'd like, I can knock you out and put a breathing tube in your throat, but I was trying real hard to avoid that"
People...
Aaaah. It's a zombie.
As Montoya makes a left he decides he has time to fire one up.
Letter in the mail from or general manager "boss" for an MCI in a difference county that I lead (fire chief called and wanted to tell the manager about me) and a letter of a patient who wanted to thank us personally for her transport. Plus a letter from the general manager an a Starbucks gift card.
I can't wait for the yearly review haha
Caution? Again?
Screw caution. Dangers the name of the game.
