An update, she got 3L of NS with 20meq of K per liter the first 90 minutes she was there to get her pressure up. She's been on a cipro drip, an oral antibiotic I can't remember the name of and another 125ml/hr of the NS/K mix, and she has a PRN for toradol and zofran. Her CT scan looked pretty bad, too according to her RN, said it was the most inflammation she's seen in a ped.
She looked a lot better this morning, but she went to take a shower and went pretty hypotensive, and she's been in a persistent sinus tach at around 120 since then.
Poor little thing, I'd trade places with her in a heart beat.

Dana, you've got a great looking family!
adamjh3, sorry to hear about your sister. I hope she starts feeling better soon.

Our 8 transports a week frequent flier is going to JAIL!!!! Woot! I personally have taken this punk to the hospital 4 times since Saturday. Tonight, the cops are camped on the ER, waiting for him to get discharged.
The best news? The jail is in a whole other county. We've got at least 2 years that we won't have to deal with him! (Parole violation, he's at least going to finish his original sentence.)

Darn, I was hoping he was getting snatched for abusing 911.
On another topic, my best friend is in the final stages of getting hired for Customs and Border Patrol. Have a background investigator coming to my house Friday morning to interview me.

I hate my car. Another $1500 into the stupid thing. 
I had a similar experience with a DoD investigator. It was awkward at best.
When he/she shows you his/her credentials scrutinize for 30 secs and then say these are satisfactory, and then say "I've had a few run-ins with other federal agents before."

Is it bad that I am absolutely terrified about going to the OR tomorrow and doing my intubations?

I'm sorry
Forewarning, if any of this doesn't make sense it is my fault. I know zip about cars.
A tone ring broke on the back passenger side, knocking out the ABS sensor, and in order to fix it they have to replace the whole back passenger axle. When I took it in to get that fixed they found that in the 2 weeks since they last looked at it the speed sensor had broken and wrapped around the front driver's axle and now that whole assembly has to be replaced.

Nope. I've been doing this for most of two decades, have a PERSONAL friend nurse anesthetist who has invited me to work with her, and I'm still nervous.
No pressure, but 15 people are sitting watching you work.
Or so I've heard.
But you can't pay for that experience elsewhere. Tubes are just too hard to come by, and it matters too much that you are competent.

You'll do fine. You have a wealth of experience, knowledge and tools in there with you, and most physicians won't give you a Malapatti of 4 right off the bat.
And learn both blades and learn them well. I prefer Macs, and 2 of my last 3 tubes have been Macs, but I also did a Miller just because each person is different.
My first intubation was an RSI in the field. :wacko:

So enthused right now... shouting from the roof tops... facebook... college website... emtlife...
Semester is over!!! I just finished presenting my final GIS Project to two classes of GIS Students. Then, after confirming yet another "A" for the semester (can we say "Deans List" again), the Professor asked me if I would be one of the four speakers at the region's biannual GIS User Meeting! 30 minutes to present a county wide geospatial analysis resulting in the production of a map which shows jurisdiction for Rope Rescue Services provided in the county by factoring in slope (basic versus technical rope rescue), proximity to roadways (urban and rural versus remote and wilderness rope rescue), and length of ropes (Fire is limited on length, SAR is not). The professor wants to introduce me to some GIS Technicians from other county GIS departments and GIS Specialists with other Emergency Service Organizations... I MIGHT HAVE TO EVEN SMILE TONIGHT!!!
