I despise my allergies... :mad:
 
Just ten more hours, then I can sleep. Of course, by then I won't be sleepy! :rolleyes: :glare:
 
Shut the front door!!!

Thought I was supposed to start at 0700, until I show up and try to clock in, get a message saying I'm clocking in late. Check ePro and apparently they rescheduled me at 0530. On duty supervisor says I was supposed to double check ePro on my own last night.

Yup, day 2 of third rider FTO training at the new job is off to a great start. -_-

That's bull:censored::censored::censored::censored: dude. If they change your schedule they're responsible to notify you.

Our old scheduling software was supposed to send us a page when our schedule was modified, but it never did. Our sups were always good about it though and called us and ASKED if we could come in earlier / later.
 
If you come to Vegas and get so stupidly wasted that security has to call the ambulance for you, you should keep your mouth shut. I don't care that you are an EMT/medic from somewhere. You screwed up. You are in my ambulance and I will treat you how my protocols say to. It's not my fault you vomited on yourself and couldn't walk with out assistance and no can driver would take you back to your hotel. Some people I swear:angry

At my old job, even for new hire FTO training, shifts were locked into ePro (schedule was usually posted like 2 weeks in advance). And if anything changed you got an email.

The new job still uses ePro but I haven't gotten a single scheduling email yet. Nor did I get any sort of phone call this morning.

Don't get me wrong, while thats frustrating, I definitely enjoy running the 911 calls here over strictly IFT at my old job.
 
I wish our area was better about follow-ups/peer reviews on calls..

I went to a (rural) cardiac call today. I'd really like to know if the AMS I was seeing was from Nitro hypotension (she took 2x this morning), or if she was just having another MCI. I didn't have time to take a BP, ALS took her real quick.

I'd just like to know what the diagnosis was. I'd just like to know for sure what I was seeing.

I decided this week that I like cardiac calls. I like them much more than drunk people.

I only took the basic test, I emailed back to fix it because even if I had it I can't do anything without everybody realize I have no clue what I'm doing.

kid who sits next to me at the Fire Academy told me I should have kept it and got a job on a Critical Care Ambulance, medics only drive and there's a doctor and nurse in the back.

Nitroglycerin has a really short half life (a few minutes). I am unsure if something like a phosphodiesterase inhibitor would make it last longer, I know it makes the hypotension more pronounce, but I think it would make it longer lasting too (from what I understand, phosphodiesterase breaks down cGMP/decrease it, cGMP is what cause vasodilation when taking nitroglycerin). Examples of phosphodiesterase inhibitors are erectile dysfunction drugs like levitra, cilias, viagra, etc., which women wouldn't normally take for obvious reasons, however, they could be taking a phosphodiesterase inhibitor for pulmonary hypertension (revatio?). JPINFV used to frequently bring up that point.

Since you said this morning, I am kinda guessing it was way more than a couple of minutes later.

Whay does MCI in your area stand for? Where I am, it's mass causalty incident. I am guessing myocardial infarction (MI in my area)?
 
Im learning to write very small. I have discovered 3x5 note cards do not hold enough information for emergency medications... 20 down, who knows how many to go...

I have some made on the computer if you want me to send them to you. I don't remember if I have the dose on them though.

Another note, what would cause a P wave to only be visible in lead 1?
