951/760 > 714
I thought that was common knowledge
760 doesn't count... it's too large of an area. You can't compare Moron-o Valley to places like San Marcos.

Especially because San Marcos' restaurant row contains the best sushi bar in California

That's true, I actually feel safe at work in Victorville more so than home in San Bernardino. Also, it's been level 0 every day up here, we've had to have Redlands and Rancho come up to help all the time.

Happens with the smaller divisions. We've had the same stuff happen at my division. We are doing good tho. Currently expanding (adding more units). And rumor has it that we are going to be taking over old fire stations and staff them with 1-2 ALS ambulances. Plus we may be taking over a fire department on ALS transports (their city is broke).

They used to have a great Italian restaurant as well, but it went out of business. Fun bit of trivia, I worked a few summers at San Marcos 18 next door to restaurant row.

Also when you have 911 ALS units on bed delays that last up to 7 hours......I got alot of studying done needless to say.

Ooh wow that's bad. In the 2 years I've worked I've been on bed delay less then 10 times. The longest delay was about 30 minutes.

Nice, it's a daily occurrence up here. We stock up on extra monitor batteries every day.

Ouch :sad:
Rumor has it they are going to start having fines for having bed delays. It's only a rumor so take it with a grain of salt (riverside county only)

My trend of seeing, hearing and/or dreaming about things and then they appear in some form in the near future appears to be continuing.
- There is that topic about the old lady with a cough from her ACE inhibitor, I remember learning that patients with ACE inhibitor cough are often put on angiotensin receptor blockers (-sartin) drugs, I had a lady today who was on a -sartin drug
- I recently had this really vivid dream that I was pregnant and while idling at the checkout saw that they now have boxes of condoms about the impulse items (such as chocolate), I had a young lady today who was pregnant and said she didn't want it (I was also surprised to learn that voluntary abortion is not legal in New Zealand, not that I will be having a need for such services, I was still quite surprised)
- One of the January CCE topics was on abdominal, including AAA, so lo and behold I had a patient with a ? AAA that was later confirmed on U/S
Ew, and I don't mean to be horrible, but I had a really lovely girl a little bit older than me (29 or 30) who had a very nastily infected leg that was nasty, hot, red, painful and oozed stuff +++ and was all cellulitis'y and stunk, I mean reeked horrendously, yuck, yuck, yuck!!

Finished my last shift before the wedding, and it was brutal. I got like two hours of sleep (after only like ten in the last three days.) now it's time to wrap some last minute things up, pack, and have my final dance lesson before the rehearsal and bachelor party tomorrow. I'm freaking out a little.

Breathe! It will be the best day of your life so far. Unless you have a kid, because that probably was awesome.
But anyway, things will go wrong just relax and have fun.
Not to worry, by the time the wedding comes, you will be so tired it will all be a blur anyway.
yes, and O'rlly? I work on a Riv City Unit but we get pulled into MoVal everyday, so I will see you there if I knew who you were! RCRMC is worse than a zoo, people everywhere lol
Damn St Marys.
That is how we have been the last couple of months in Riverside. We will have up to 13! ALS units on bed delays at RCH.
Ya, REMS has been pissed at the hospitals. I have witnessed a nasty phone call they were giving to a charge nurse because of the bed delays.

I love when outside hospitals get all worked up about moderately elevated labs. "We are sending over an emergent transfer with an elevated Troponin of 1.98" Oh, 1.98? I will have the ventilator and balloon pump ready to go. My STEMI patient's troponin was 329 s/p cath.
I also had the joy of putting a foley in a 400lb female patient. "Elbow deep" is a pretty accurate description. I need to invent a Glidescope Foley. I would be a millionaire.
