Great calls today.

Had a lady get a condom stuck in her rectum. Called us hoping we could take it out, so she didn't have to goto the hospital.

Then had an 11yo electrocute himself (he's fine. Arm is just numb and twitching).

And just had a pneumothorax, that turned out to be a giant pleural effusion.

...if only there was something that could push the condom out given enough time... Almost like something was trying to escape...

lmao!!!!!!
 
Just FYI, electrocute means they're dead ^_^

I had a single car MVC, a guy fell 15+ feet out of the bucket of a bucket loader, a cardiac arrest, and backed up a truck on the most rank smelling rectal bleed yesterday.





While working the cardiac arrest yesterday, and being the only Paramedic on scene meaning I had to run the code, work the monitor, do the lines, gives the drugs, monitor the EMTs doing compressions and ventilations(2 of the 3 first responders hadn't done a code, apparently), make sure my EMT student got to do some stuff, AND talk to the family (though my EMT put in a King airway):

Daughter: This is just a diabetic thing, right?
Me: No, her heart has stopped, we're doing CPR and giving medications to try to restart it.
Daughter: Oh... that's not good is it?

Now excuse me while I go build an underground bunker to survive the oncoming Apocalypse.

Technically, maybe.

But if you tell someone a patient was electrocuted, they'll understand. So, I disagree.
 
There is telling a patient they were electrocuted, and telling a doctor the patient was electrocuted. Only one will chew your *** :rolleyes:
 
What have I done? I am posting from a mac and owning one for the first time ever

Well.. I was given report by an MD, and a nurse... both used the term. I gave report to a doc, and used the term.

"Hey, Doc. This kid was electrocuted at about 1115 today. His only complaint is numbness in his left arm."
 
If it said I kept logging in and out on the chat, it's cause I keeps booting me for some reason. <_<

You got nice doctors. I heard a medic getting his butt chewed one time for saying drowning victim during his radio report.

Well, that was foolish of him. Drowning and electrocution are two separate things.
