C4. It was awesome, but I was slightly tachycardic (190) and my skin was on fire.

1 scoop next time for sure.

It's a good thing that I bought the blue razz! hahaha I bought that and one of my pineapple for my girly (she's my workout buddy, haha)
 
Wow. I've got some kind of crazy high acuity streak going. I had that premature 30 week gestation neonate day 1, the head bleed RSI that allowed me to fly north day 2, and a CCB overdose with a heart rate of 27 yesterday. I'm kinda liking this whole "problem solving and actually having to think" deal [emoji1]

Back to night work tonight, so let's see if the EMS gods call it quits for a while at three in a row...

I'm really quite jealous of you guys lol

However with your luck... When I visit Wilmington next month I plan on staying away from your service area lol I'll end up with a AAA or something interesting.

Are you kidding? You should come do a ride along! The charm of the beaches is slightly diminished in January vs. July, but at least the traffic isn't as bad. Believe me, you don't want to be in Wilmington the whole time anyway.

hmmm when I hammer out the details I may hit you up. See how a real EMS service does things.
 
@chaz90, so you work flight there or just so happen to be getting these amazing calls and you hop on the bird to transport?

I'm a ground paramedic. The primary scene aviation response in Delaware is provided by Delaware State Police helicopters staffed with a Trooper/Pilot and a Trooper/Paramedic. This only leaves one provider in the back, and they often haven't had much experience with critical patients and only transport a few patients a month. This means that on the most critical calls that are flown a ground paramedic accompanies the helicopter to assist with care. If DSP is busy or unable to fly, backup scene response is by an AirMethods helicopter (LifeNet) out of the same airport. They obviously fly with a CCP and a CCT RN, so we don't ever need to fly with them if they come out to a scene.

It's pretty uncommon. This is the only time I've flown besides orientation flights since I've worked here for almost two years. Some people love the opportunity to fly and do it everytime it's needed instead of their partner, and others wouldn't touch the helicopter with a 10 foot pole. It's certainly easier now to have two providers in the back of a B429 than it was in their B407.
 
I'm thinking about applying for a reserves position with Lifeline 2 hours from home. Does anyone out there have a fairly long commute? If so, is it worth it?

I commute six hours each way to work... It's worth it for me... but then again it's pay and protocols like nothing I can get in my state.

You're also at work for a week at a time...sort of changes it a bit.

I suppose 45 minutes isn't too bad, I don't mind it at least. Twice a month I'll pick up a 24 an hour away, I'm glad that isn't my full time spot.
