Nurse: Is this the Code STEMI?
Me: Yes it is, calling to give an update.
Nurse: Has the doctor seen the 12-lead before you activated the Code STEMI so that we're sure?

Me: Wouldn't matter, considering a Code STEMI is activated solely off my decisions.... but yes, the ER doctor AND the cardiologist have BOTH seen the EKG and spoken to me directly on the phone for our treatment plan... despite the fact that the cardiologist was the one to call the code STEMI despite all 3 of our uncertainties... now can I continue with my update or do you want to question me on my abilities some more?

Gah...almost as bad as the time the nurse receiving my report asked how I knew a leg was broken when I was coming in with a compound tib/fib. And yes, same nurse. She clearly has no respect for field personnel.

You really need to reel in that ego and inflated self importance.

Got into a bar fight last night (well, at 2 am) with my husband-in-law (ex wife's husband), broke my hand punching him, made up in the ER.. Going drinking again tonight. How freaking strange is that.

Can someone tell me what this is? I know it's v paced, but it looks like the t wave goes way up. Or am I just stupid.

It's a standard wide complex of a paced rhythm. Also, since that's just a monitoring lead, it's not really all that useful for diagnostics anyway.

Do you know the outcome of that patient?

At first glance, with the LBBB there it doesn't look like it meets sgarbossa criteria. So cardio called it a STEMI as well?
 
Note: If a girl asks you if being married 4x is too many... don't say, "Well, honey, there's only so many places a man can sign on the back of a title".

No, I'm quite good, thank you, but you can reel in that self-righteous policing. Not inflated if I'm doing my job the exact way it's meant to be done... not going beyond my means/ability/boundaries.


Again... "How do you know the bone is broken? Do you have xray on the ambulance?"... on a compound tib/fib.

It was just an odd one to begin with. We went straight to cath per the cardiologists request, and they compared his previous EKG with my new one... new onset LBBB, unknown etiology due to, and I quote "Normal, clean coronaries". Haven't heard anything since.

92 degrees in middle of nowhere east Texas today, the A/C in the truck isn't working worth a $hit and this is the first time we've seen the station since 9am. This summer is gonna suck.

Yep. We don't have stations and we have to leave our rigs running for our entire shift. We have custom made hoods to get rid of extra heat. And when we park we have to open the hood so we don't overheat. Summer sucks
 
To demonstrate my extreme versatility:

  • last night I dreamed I was a navy seal
    this morning I got 5 kids up and out in under 15 minutes
    one 4 yo to pediatrician
    4 kids to dentist
    One little old lady dying of pneumonia
    fire 2 final exam

Tomorrow: beach
 
Im done screwing with Indiana and their screwed up reciprocity rules and incompetent employees. Im just gonna take the Indiana test
