The scenarios are def over the top. What did you think of the actual patient care they depict?

It's been so long ago I can't even remember the patient care part.

It was pretty off. Also, there was only ever one season, that's why you can't find more.

I watched it, it was entertaining. People get all worked up about how fake these shows are but would anyone watch a show that was 100% accurate? Probably not haha.

Just discovered the tv show Trauma. While there's the ever present "Hollywoodisms" that make me want to tell at my tablet, overall I actually like it. Anybody else see it?

While a different animal than Rescue Me (I never really got into Chicago Fire) it kinda reminds me of Third Watch (wish I could find more than seasons 1 and 2 on DVD or Amazon)

I watched the whole season of Trauma before getting my EMT-B. Once I got my EMT-B, I rewatched the show and realized how dramatized it was.

I like Chicago Fire, even though it's more fire-focused (along with drama), than EMS focused. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the next season coming in the fall.

If the show was 100% accurate, I don't think it would make it through a season. No one wants to watch 12 episodes of High-flow O2 + Lights & Sirens. :rofl:

Take fire 1 & 2 and you'll realize how fake Chicago fire is.
 
Well... First day of medic school in the morning. Have a test on the drug box, you fail, which is 79% and lower, and you get dropped... I felt so confident and was doing nearly flawlessly this morning on the whole box. Just did it again and missed probably a good 60% of them..
I really am doubtful on what my performance tomorrow will be with how worked up I already am.

How much does your dept/agency match? Make sure you contribute AT LEAST as much as they will match... more if you can.

Or have a white cloud on the crew and you make only two runs in twelve episodes. lol

Pissed off a nurse for liberal pain management on a patient who he thought was faking. Doc pulled me aside after my next transport there and told me I did great keeping my patient comfortable and to keep it up... In front of that RN. Lol score

RN-"Why'd you give him 250mcg of fentanyl? Don't you know that is like four billion times stronger than morphine?"

Me: "Well, actually, it's approximately 100 times more potent, but we give it in micrograms, so..."

RN- "ZOMG FENTANYL FOR A CUT!"

Patient: "I don't mind, it was really hurting."

Me: "Fentanyl is for pain, and we don't have local blocks."

Patient: "I feel a lot better now."

Doctor: "Well, that's bone."
 
Thanks chimpie. Got that part figured out. The hard part was what I wanted to invest my money in.

And yeah for the doc that is acknowledging field pain management!

No, but thanks :)
Its relatively straight forward right now since we only need trade/ brand, packaging and dosage.
I'm just one of those people that when I mess up, I psych myself up and then mess up 10x more. I know that I know it, just a matter of nerves. Woke up a few hours early so I can go over everything again.
 
Gotta love it when calls for "palpitations" actually turn into something!

Haha right. So many medics I work with wont even think about treating this. Unless they absolutely have to.

Good question! Before I answer it, allow me to muck it up a bit with the two other EKGs taken right before that one...

Would you go straight to meds or try the valsalva maneuver first?
