Not full thickness, thank goodness. All 2nd degree. A little debridement, a nice dressing, and we were sent on our way.

The crazy thing is she's not even feeling the pain. I know she *does* feel pain, but this doesn't hurt her at all. She is the toughest person I know when she wants to be.

That is awesome news, the Browns are very pleased

Despite the fact that it is 0330 and he is exhausted, but still can't sleep, lights is happy mostly. In a way. Ok, lights is not too happy. On the one hand, Lights loves his new Remington M 700 30-06. LOVES IT! On the other hand, my darn truck is only firing on 7 cylinders! So today I get to crack every injector, one at a time till I find the bad one, then test the compression and PRAY that the compression is good and it's just a bad injector. A $50 (or whatever) injector is way nicer that a crate 7.3 L IDI TD. I don't even want to think about that!!!!!

I'm just curious on people's opinions. Let's use ALS (the disease) as an example. Does a state or any government for that matter have the power to say that the person cannot choose to take their own life? I know that legalizing controlled suicide or euthanasia brings forth many problems and issues but it just doesn't seem right to me. My neighbor was just recently diagnosed with ALS and I cannot imagine being put through what she is going through. The progression of the disease is just horrific, and knowing that you'll end up trached, paralyzed, and without any control.

I dont know. Good question. Hmmmm

I can tell you that regardless of the law, it'll take the LAPD SWAT Team to get my pistol from me, especially if I have ALS. Need I say any more?

Just read your post. I am glad that she is OK. My youngest daughter (9) burned her leg the other day on my new bike. Not bad enough to go to the hospital but to her it was the worst pain she had ever felt. (She can be a bit dramatic at times but hey she is my baby so I don't mind) It did cost me a few bucks at WalMart on some feel better gifts but she is all good. Tell your daughter I hope she gets to feeling better and that my daughter said and I quote "Tell her to milk it daddy. She can get some really Cool stuff". Again glad she is doing OK.

Thanks man! Just a little nervous, as out of my last three services, this is the first one that's done ANY kind of testing... and I have a written, practical, and PAT before I even get to my interview

Foreign language? Man, I talk like that every day and it makes perfect sense to me.


12-lead interpretation is much much easier than people say it is.

Brown got really badly sunburnt last summer, well by "really bad" Brown means severe first degree.

If Brown is ever severe, third degree, full thickness burn victim Mrs Brown knows to have Brown overdosed on painkillers. No joke, even Browns friend who is a HEMS Doctor/Senior Anaes Reg agrees with Brown.

I want some pain killers :-( I hate the constant pain. Im not even moving and I want to scream.

I am shaking and freezing, throwing up whenever someone touches me, and starting to get a fever. I may be taking a trip to the doctor here soon.

Just because I'm an EMT. 22.5% burned lol

Any service would be better to have you. Relax and follow your instincts. You got this.

Yea, but your the guy who says P waves don't mean a sinus rhythm .

You know you need to get your transcription girl's hearing checked when "dicrotic notch" is put down as "necrotic crotch". You can't make this stuff up....just overheard this in the elevator at work.

I understand myself just fine too, but the teacher is not talking my dialect.
This is the review class to refresh our memory as we wrap things up for final exams and national registry. I was doing good with the field and clinical interpetations. sick pt not sick pt. MI not MI, and so on, I was doing good in that. But with all this info thrown at me, but now I am wondering about my skill in this area.

When it comes to 12-leads, if you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough.
