I'm really hoping someone is recording all of this. If only I was more tech savvy. These kids are cracking my up. I'm listening to another kid who sounds about 8 or 9 just screaming at the screen. "YOU BOOGERS STOP SHOOTING ME YOU BUTTS". It's actually kind of uplifting because so far I haven't heard any of the really young ones use any serious profanity.

You know how when a professor tells you its easy, not in depth, and don't worry about it. Then you get to the exam and you didn't memorize any of that stuff...Yeah that happened. I know I got a handful wrong, I just need to bank on not getting more wrong that I think I got right. Lets hope the class did as poorly.

Edit: doesnt have to do with not putting in the time. I spent 26 hours in the library the 2 days before and averaged 6 hr/day for the two weeks prior.

I know you well enough to know that if you failed that test there were plenty of others who did too.
 
So for septic shock the reason the patient is hypotensive is due to the pathogen causing vasodilation? The prehospital treatment for it is a bolus of saline to get more fluid volume into the vascular system due to the extra space from the vasodilation?

Or am I completely lost?

What game is this?
 
Not gonna lie, I have zero desire to do a "gangnam style" video for our Christmas video. It seems like a ridiculous idea...if I wanted to see reposts I'd just look on the front page of Reddit...

I hope I don't sound stupid, but it's been awhile....

Not a pathogen, but rather endotoxin release from gram-negative cells (bacteria). It's not the cell, but the toxin that gets released when they're destroyed.
 
Lesson for the night: an asp baton to the face will cause an open jaw fracture.

And don't run/resist when you have warrants.
 
We've just been taught needle chest decompression to use only on consult with a medical officer for tension pneuomothrax. Anyone here done many needle decompressions? is it as easy as they make out to be? we have been taught to use 14 gauge IV catheters, 2nd intercostal space, mid-clavicular line just above the 3rd rib/
 
72lbs of fluid off in 6 days on 100mg IV Lasix BID and still no drop in BNP....DaFuq?

This patient also wins the award for the biggest scrotum I have seen. :wacko:
 
So at my new job I was going through the stock room and found "ammonia inhalants"

I was curious so I cracked one like 2 feet from myself and WOW I thought my nose was melting for like 5 seconds.

Guess that's how they wake you up..:

Welcome to the club. I studied my *** off for the cardio exam. Nothing that I studied was on it, and the entire class failed. I wish there was a curve.
 
Well, this sucks. Apparently my registration got messed up, and now Bob Page's 12-lead class is sold out. :(
