That's pretty dang high... My record was 840. Then again, the guy coded... so... That still count?



Anyways... Down payment on the apartment as of tomorrow. I'm scared now...

$630 for a one bedroom, no utilities (I decided I wanted to move to a better area than south phx like I planned on). Been trying to decide if it's worth the extra $15 a month to upgrade from a 625 sq ft to a 715 sq ft, but that's more in cooling too.

One more night to decide! :unsure:

Do you notice the extra 90 sq feet? Of it makes it feel a whole lot bigger or you like the floor plan better id say 15 bucks is worth it.

Well it was one of the newer units. Happened yesterday and the crew is fine from what I hear.
 
So, we keep our back stock of controlled substances in a lock box inside a locked filing cabinet in a locked room.

I lost the keys to all of those, with the only spares to the filing cabinet and lock box being located inside the lock box. (Not my brightest move.)

I jimmied the door with a butter knife. I unlocked the filing cabinet with two paperclips. Then used a scalpel to unlock the lock box.

Clearly, I have to go to the hardware store in the morning and upgrade the security on these things.

They ended up falling through. I got down there and after speaking to the lady just the day before... Somehow they wanted another $45/ monthly.
She said they had just rented one and when they get down to 2 left, they raise it that much. I pulled up the website and showed her it still said $630 with 2 available and she adamantly refused to acknowledge it.
Guess it's a good thing to see that side of management first.

Immediate transport and LOC

hey guys, i am currently studying for my NREMT cert in Arizona and something the text book never really evaluated on was immediate transport based on LOC being less than alert and oriented ... ok so you havent even addressed pt ABCs yet but clearly LOC is less than alert and oriented, heres my question.. do you stop the assessment at general impression, administer o2 then package the pt and then transport? while en route you address ABCs? OR complete ABCs then package and transport? thanks.

See the other thread. This thread is for anything but this...
 
Had my first "for reasons other than cooking fentanyl and shooting up" code.

I think it was respiratory again. CPR, BVM, EJ, vaso, pulse back.

Took me longer to write than the entire run took.
Didn't even use L&S to the hospital.

Nice! I've never understood why people run code with ROSC patient who aren't in the hemodynamic toilet.

It happens a lot here, and sadly with CPR in progress.

We run lights to almost everything (thanks EMD), but there isn't much we run code to the hospital with . Mostly trauma and cardioversion and all the other things people are supposed to take in hot

My pet peeve is people running code to the LZ 3 minutes away to meet a chopper that is 15 minutes out...:glare:


Also :wub: Vaso

Seriously. Never understood why some people think having someone on the vent is a reason to run code. If anything they're more stable now than they were when we found them.
 
I had a couple medics at my service tell me an advanced airway means you need to transport emergent. :lol: I asked for a good reason as to why...nada. I asked our QA/CQI guy and he had about the same response as me.
 
and another set of ball joints on the in laws Trailblazer replaced. This time I was able to use air tools since I finally got a compressor last week.

Went like freaking butter. Beats fighting a breaker bar.

Nice, congrats man.

Remember to keep the shiny side up and the black side down.
