Try Southwest next time if you can.... I've always been pleased with their service and prices. Nothing beat the time I got an entire row to myself on a flight to Tenn.... I got to lay out and sleep.

Southwest is great. My favorite flight so far has been a Continental flight from LA to Guam. We were on a 757 and I got an entire middle row (5 seats) to me self. I lifted all the armrests and could lay all the way out. :-D
 
Nationwide shortage of 1:10,000 prepackaged epinephrine, according to an internal email.
 
Yep it's def getting us, we're having to draw up 1:1000 and reconstitute.

Try Jet Blue and enjoy the free show while taxiing to the gate at the destination.
 
You can get the 1:10,000 in prefilled still. But, it is the ones that expire in 30 days. We are using these right now.

There is also back order on D50.

Guess these companies really need to hire some more people to keep up!
 
We were able to get our hands on some D50.
 
We kept remaining supply for dilution in peds. We picked up D10 bags, for now.
 
Makes you wonder...

Because I doubt there's been a huge spike in cardiac arrest and diabetic calls recently...
 
Happy Friday the 13th!

My boss made sure I had today off. Last Friday the 13th, I ended up stranded an hour north of town with a patient when my partner put gasoline in a diesel. And the day just got worse from there.

Ohhh yea.. My day today is similar to Inferno.

17yoM Cardiac Arrest- OD
3 grass fires that escalated to a large structure fire.
56yoM DOS in a bath tub, normal weight about 180... weight upon our arrival estimated 400lbs. Had to cut a hole in the house to get him out.
:ph34r:
 
sounds awesome

if it goes as last night... i'll have 5 patient's and hopefully 6 code blues
!!

eeek! did i just short circuit my 13th?!!
 
Thanks, homeless guy, for turning what should have been a quick 5 minute blood sugar check in to an ordeal that lasted nearly 2 hours, got police involved, you handcuffed, and me doing a crap load of paperwork. Good going.
 
Brown has decided to go to the gym again, as future HEMS Doctors needs to be ripped and cut up :D

... man I can barely move it hurts too much.

slideboards, slide sheets, or hoya lift... save your body bro! Now then... not sure where you work.... if you mean out of bed to the gurney, then to the box... i feel for ya! Used to have shin splints when I played soccer for my university.




....those little 3 oz dixie cups filled with water, frozen.... like a pushup pop for splints. Sweet numb relief.

yea, at this point ANY pressure or strain on my forearms would aggravate the pain. today they feel better, but I haven't really used them for much besides using a remote and picking up food with a fork :P I hope they're as close to 100% as possible by Monday (shift got swapped around). I'll live, I just felt the need to vent of my mid-shift frustrations to others. Once they DO heal, I'll be sure to stretch and workout my forearms in the gym more so this won't be as much of a problem later on.


and the shortage of epi and D50 sucks, especially where I am. diabetic calls and cardiac arrests are not uncommon- luckily we have a decent amount of both stocked. however when I was at AMR doing the oil spill ops, we were short therefore had to improvise. my medic from Cali said she's had like one cardiac arrest in her time as a medic (not including medic internship, working as a basic, etc). In one day she heard like 4-6 codes over the unit radio and was shocked.
