It was colder in Seattle than parts of Alaska the other day.
 
Guys guys let's be real. He's going just for the Halibut... sea what I did there? I'm shore you did.
 
This whole ice storm thing was played up so much. Wasn't bad at all. Worst part was scraping my windows from 14 hours of accumulated ice. Roads fine. Ran 0 mvc's and falls....Way to go news.

GTK California weather reporters aren't the only ones severely overplaying "Stormwatch (enter year here)".

No, they aren't. I was expecting this to be a trauma day. Noooope. MVC/fall-0 chest pain-3... Hospitals were nice and empty though.
 
The state pays you to live there.
From what the TV shows about Alaska they also give you alcohol and meth to get through the cold months
 
I could go for some whiskey and meth.

On a serious note, I'm looking for something meaningful supervisor/managerial/lead medic-ish in the Midwest/Southwest, with an eye towards moving in 2018 or 19 (ish). Potentially sooner if a good job comes along, but I want my wife to be able to finish school too.

Shameless plug for St. Louis County departments. I don't know much about their inner workings, but they pay well and if the wife is in the medical field, there are like a billion hospitals she could work at within a reasonable driving distance.

To me it sounds like the news did their job. Scared everyone enough to stay home. :)

One thing I'll say, my friend, is you'll have a tough time getting a leadership roll without spending some time in one place, climbing the ladder and gaining that entry level leadership experience.

So....just had my first patient go into "cardiac arrest right in front of us" tonight

How'd it go?
It was kind of an excrement show. Came in as a SOB, but the pt was in the back room of the house, and the hallway that connected the living room was one of those that had like 3 90* turns and narrow enough two guys could not stand side by side, so I went out to grab the stair chair. Found the patient with fire trying to get their LP 12 leads to stick to her skin but she was diaphoretic enough that they weren't really sticking and the NIBP wasn't reading so they made the call to get her out and into the ambulance to continue assessment there, especially since family was already kind of freaking out, wouldn't stop getting between us and the patient, demanding to know her vitals and why we weren't already rushing off to the hospital, etc. Medics grabbed their gear and stepped back and we moved in to "extricate" to the gurney.....and just as we went to stand her up from the chair she's in to get her in our stair chair, all of a sudden goes limp, we could see her pupils dialate...yeah..got to pop the ribs though...our poor stair chair though, because after grabbing a board to move the pt out, it got left behind at the house :/
