Two double posts in a row? I'm terrible.

But, I just got to put "acting like a lion" in a narrative.

As in 'Pt presented on all fours, roaring, with a large furry mane around his neck"?

You can be the best of the brightest of the interns.

You guys are equally awesome for different reasons so you shall not compare yourselves.

Aye-aye, Captain!
 
As we were pulling in, the kids bp was 60/32 hr 120's. Tell the nurse this and we get him into a room quick and they do an nibp, 110/70 hr 104.... Now I feel retarded when I swear that's what I heard. He was trending 80s in the ER all night too. Gr. wtf.

That's happened to me a few times. I always proclaim that my fluid challenge fixed them when it happens.
 
Do they make extra slutty olive oil? They can't all be virgins right?!?

Problem is, we're BLS, so I cant do a challenge.

I was quoting from a psych hold. They "found (him) impeding traffic on (xx) street, acting like a lion"
 
Apparently SNFs don't like it when you sign out one of their patients (who they called 911 for) AMA.
 
Is it wrong for me to want to have the attitude towards my partner "I don't want to help you, and I won't"? Would your answer change if I told you that it didn't matter what I said anyhow. I'm kind of frustrated. I know it's me too, how I present myself, what I say, people treat me like a we Todd.

Yes. You should help if he asks. There is nothing wrong with not.offering to help but if its asked you should help. If he argues with you tell him "You ASKED for my help, not the other way around, so either take it or leave it, I'm good either way."

I have to work on my way of answering people. I apparently make faces and get a tone when I think they're an idiot or they should know this.

Tact, I don't has it.

My partner decided to bid a new truck. I am ok with that, really. We got along well, and have worked together for almost 5 years, but I can understand if he wanted a change. What hurt my feelings though, was that he didn't bother to tell me he was doing it, and I found out when the last schedule came out. I understand he doesn't owe me anything, but you would think after working together for that long that he could have mentioned it before I found out from someone else.
 
I'm at that point where I am tired of saying "You asked for my opinion, you asked for my help." I say it all the time. The funny thing is the people who don't help get praised. I want to do what is best for the patient, but I want to do what's best for me too, and I don't think I can do both.

I also want to switch both because there are two weekend ER tech positions and because of my partner.

I've decided that when I didn't like my experienced partners and thought things would be different working with an inexperienced person that I was hoping would listen to me, I was totally wrong. I may not like what the experienced person do, but at least everything is no so chaotic, everyone being disappointed, and me looking like a douche whether I help or not.
 
You probably haven't found the right partner yet.

I often have trouble with older people as partners especially if they've been an EMT forever. They get all butthurt taking direction from a "little girl"

Men in their midlife crisis stage suck the worst.
 
Yay... Good chance my partner and I were exposed to a patient with meningitis. Fever with a headache. Patient left out the fact that he also has neck, back, and pretty much full body pain, photosensitivity, and just returned from out of country.

Single dose prophylactic Cipro and carry on.

Had the same thing happen to me last year. Ours was an elderly man with fever of unkown origin.

2.5 hours to go and Im bored...
 
Well, we did live IV sticks on each other today. I did a lot better than I thought I was going to. It's good we finally got to start an actual IV rather than on one of the manikins.
 
Super cute girl at the movie theater.
