Ok, how exactly does one get a nickle embedded in their Tibia?

I mean I can picture something like our moped rider yesterday who lost control on the highway and had an obvious Tib/Fib fracture with open wound and bleeding (though no bones poking out) who say maybe had a full compound fracture and the nickle just so happened to be laying there on the asphalt same time and place as said compounded Tibia came along?

I left it for the trauma team, I mean you really don’t see that every day and it was wedged in there pretty good.

They were gonna make you work for your nickel. I guess you decided it wasn't worth it. #capitalism

This man was partially ejected and had his legs pinned under the A post—despite being seatbelted… He was also prone in the seat.

I think during the rolling his loose change just decided to tuck right into an open fracture

Too bad it wasn't a quarter. He could've made a call.

Ouch...
 
I’ve quickly realized that an MPA program was not my cup of tea and I’ve moved to an M.Ed in learning and technology. Basically a degree in instructional development and educational delivery using technology. Dovetails nicely with what I’m doing in EMS education now. I’m enrolled in WGU and so far it’s a slam dunk.
 
That awkward moment when you go to get cash back at the store but all they have is 1s...

My wallet feels like I'm about ready to walk into the gentleman's club 🤣
 
almost at the end of my UF CCP program and I am hoping that my brain doesn't leak all over the floor. 🤣 Lots of good information and I've learned a ton. I just need to retain it for tests!
 
Went in to the urgent care/ER last night bc I've been sick for two weeks and there's no primary care appointments for a week. Had a HR in the low 140s when I got there 😅. They hooked me up with a bag of fluids and checked me over. Nothing popped on the tests or labs.

The part that I thought was interesting was that they gave me a lidocaine neb for the cough.

Glad you're enjoying it. Is Derek still instructing the class?
 
You know, I'm all for patients going to Urgent Care more... but if you have trouble breathing after getting diagnosed with Covid 1 week ago, just go straight to the hospital...
