Want some medical advice?
If so I can't give you any or I'll get a message from a CL offering me a free vacation. I wonder if it would be all inclusive though. :unsure:

I couldn't become a CL because I would be handing out vacations to everyone like it was crack haha
 
Just had a call way out in the desert, 30 mile response to a 1 year old full arrest, no airships available, got pulses on the way to the hospital though.

At the risk of a vacation; sore throat lozenges always work for me when i have one, basically a benzocaine infused candy. o.o

Good job. I hate long response times.
 
Conests!

o.o So... how about a new contest? I need some more stickers...
 
I got absolutely throttled at work today. I guess it was Robb-doesn't-have-a-fever-anymore-so-lets-run-him-and-his-partner-into-the-ground day.

I'm in an IV slump too. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...this needs to change. Quickly. Although, in all fairness, every patient I've had over the last two weeks at work has been a real difficult stick. Still not an excuse.

I'm sorry you had to see that bud. If you need anyone to talk to about it don't hesitate to drop me a line. Been through way too many pediatric arrests in my short career as a medic. Congrats on getting pulses back, kids are resilient, hopefully the little one will pull through.

I am disappointed to learn that the new medical world I thought I invented while speaking about a patient the other day (primigravida) is already a word.

Boo!
 
Can't wait until this A&P test is over 2 weeks from today. My brain hurts from trying to remember all the different bones in the body and all the processes, foramen, fossas, and notches. Plus next week we are covering all the muscles in the body :blink:

Good thing is that so far I have a 95% in the class with no curved grading (professor doesn't believe in that). I honestly haven't studied outside of class for more then 30 minutes a week. I should probably do that more often :mellow:

just remember the funny bone... isn't very funny...
 
You have my admiration, anatomy is not my strong point, except when it comes to cardiac and respiratory anatomy, and a little renal, then I am good but other than that, I am no good at bones and muscles and such

OMG I remember this one lady who whacked her funny bone on the kitchen countertop so hard she went unconscious and had a transient period of apnoea
and the husband saying he did CPR on her.

I am not sure she was actually apnoeic or in cardiac arrest or nothing but wow, thats crazy!
 
Finally got my set date on when I'll be moving up to a 911 shift. The 10th. And who's shift am I taking over? None other than the world famous firefite's!
 
Got dinged on my home medication test for putting beta 2 agonist for albuterol and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for fluoxetine. :( The answer was bronchodilator and antidepressant.

Sounds like a great class. Do they refer to ETI as "putting a breathing tube in the windpipe"?
