Agreed, and he usually had some good perspective about the current state of ems education too.
 
Been staged for over an hour for a "stage for PD" call. I wonder what's going on...

Ya vene is definitely male.

He is finishing med school and keeping himself busy. People here just liked to argue with him and second guess what he said. He's another one I keep in touch with off this site.

I must've been thinking of Vent Medic....
Speaking of past names what about Linuss or RRyder911 (probably spelled that wrong)

Likely nothing and someone forgot you were still lurking around the scene. That's what typically happens to me.

Yea good call. Right after I posted that we got cleared to enter then cancelled by the sergeant on scene. :wacko:

Apparently it almost got interesting for us though from what he said.
 
Just had a patient who likely nailed a board to his wrist in order to get pain meds. He's a known seeker, allergic to morphine, toradol, tramadol, morphine, and the board was nailed on top of his wrist, in a way that doesn't even look natural.

He got what he was looking for. We gave fent, cut the board down to about 6 inches. It turns out he displaced some metacarpals. If he was looking for drugs, I doubt it was worth it.
 
Just started my first pediatric IV. Hit it first try. I feel slightly accomplished.

Good job! I had one during my clinical. I wanted to cry lol

It's slightly scary lol. You don't want to be the person who poked a kid multiple times.

Almost every pediatric IV I've seen (outside of Children's Hospitals) have involved multiple attempts. This is true even more of the time in young kids that are dehydrated. Outstanding work though!
 
Finally found a place where I can get my 100 sticks for phlebotomy so I can get a job. The local air base uses volunteer phlebotomists, which is a win-win for me, since I'm planning on enlisting once I finish my medic and that's a potential duty base for the AFSC I want. Get to know some people there and see if they like it and I get experience :cool:
 
My wife is taking part in an online CE about cutaneous parasites. (She's a vet)

Just listening to the lecture has me all kinds of itchy.

:scratch:
 
Thanks! Now I'm certain something is crawling up my leg.

Standard cop logic, like not laying down and consenting to every little thing they ask is considered obstruction (No, officer, I don't have to consent to searching my vehicle).
 
Anyone else watching Breaking Bad?

Man what a day, spent most of it in the hospital with my mother. She slipped and fell hitting her back and head on tv, them managed to have the tv fall on her face! She is doing ok through just has bruises and a concusion also split her nose open. No bleeds in head or spinal damage which is good. Then as I was leaving hospital got called out to a multiple car accident with major injuries (had to fly two out due to the trauma they had) its been a long and eventful day.
