the 100% directionless thread

Urticaria about the chest, abdomen, and neck. Acute onset of itching all over and "feeling like a crackhead." When I first got to her (a fair bit before my partner due to the hike) one of the first things I asked her was if she had any allergies to pain medicines, to which she said no. My partner arrives and asks the same thing with the same answer. It's only in the ambulance after she's had 150 and the reaction is occurring that she remembers she is allergic to an "F" drug that you get after surgery.

Some days there is no winning.
Clearly. o_O

Thanks. So far things have been working pretty well. After 6.5 hours, it better.
 
About 12 hours until my first shift as a paramedic intern. *vomits*

Not to worry... you'll probably survive... ;)
 
I thought you were supposed to hold your breath!?

Apparently so. I was wondering what was up with that, seeing as I haven't been around here in ashes.

On another note I had my set of shifts as an fto this weekend, which has been interesting. Sometimes I feel inadequate training someone since I've only been a medic a couple of years, but it's going well so far. Only two months to go.

I've also been selected to be on the interview panel to help decide what EMT's we'll be sending through medic school, and I'll possibly be on the committee that will be editing our standing orders this year. Not bad for someone who has only been working here a year.
