Ugh can't sleep. And I'm jealous that Cynthia is curled up beside me snoring away
 
Double post
 
Back on shift for the first time in a month. Managed to start it off right by not getting enough sleep last night...
 
3 hours into my shift and we have had 2 people not pay attention and almost get hit by us. *sigh*

They almost got hit by you?...
 
So today I managed to run a 72 mile code 3 ER transfer for a 10 month old who swallowed a penny and had a esophageal obstruction.
 
I got a present from @Chimpie!!! Granted I paid for stuff as well, but the thank you note was nice.

So today I got to try to convince a 73 year old dude to sign a refusal and he wouldn't because "he didn't" want to. Yea, basically the most special thing I did all day, you win.
 
Well I squared away my Jumpmaster paperwork and watched a bunch of X-Files lol so nothing special here either haha :p

We just had a MICN rider for 8 hours today. Always feels nice when they say "you guys start IVs while you are moving?!"
 
Today I only saw the station for one whole hour out of a twelve hour shift... Beer time! [emoji481]
 
Weird calls really do seem to run in clusters. I had a patient last week with generalized weakness and an inability to urinate for several days. His heart rate was ~40 in an idioventricular rhythm with markedly peaked t waves and a known history of hyperkalemia. He bought himself a couple liters of fluid and 1 gram calcium chloride and ended up having a serum potassium of 7.9. A couple days ago, I had another patient who was attempting to receive a chemotherapy treatment but was found to be too hypotensive. He had a pressure of 52/28 taken by NIBP (remained conscious while supine) and an almost sine wave like EKG. We had lab values from the cancer center, so he received copious amounts of fluid and calcium chloride as well. His potassium ended up at 8.8...Just insane.

Nah, just some vacation. Ended up working most of it at the school, though :/

Got to spend the last week of it in Nevada, so I can't complain. Still got a couple more vacations this year to make up for all the working, though :D
