the 100% directionless thread

Congrats on the job interviews guys!

It appears that the company I'm doing my internship with would like to hire me :)
 
So, a couple days ago I was third riding. It was a 16 hr shift and for the second 8 hrs whoever was suppose to come in called out. They couldn't find anyone so I became the other emt. Well, the whole day nothing had been happening in what is usually a very busy city. Not even half an hour or so after the other person left we get dispatched with medics for a cardiac arrest. Which ended with me doing chest compressions for half an hour. My arms still hurt but it was an interesting experience. I also thought I would freak out my first time but I didn't. I stayed calm and helped the medics with what they needed. Well, that’s my little story.
 
Liars... they lose my respect very quickly. And once it's lost, it's very hard to get back.

LOL It was either that or they got the pleasure of coming into my office to explain what happened, why it happened, etc to the point I was satisfied they actually knew what the hell they were doing.
 
Mental note, 5 hours of sleep + driving for 3 hours + going from 50% humidity to 3% humidity does NOT do a body good...

Better than 3 hours of sleep + 5 hours of driving + going from 3% humidity to 50% humidity. :rofl:

Doing medical record reviews makes my head hurt. Is it that hard to proofread and not use silly abbreviations?

Apparently it is.

I have to admit that I recall on one PCR, I wrote marijuanna instead of marijuana, lol. I couldn't remember if it had one or two n's, and I was too embarrassed to ask anybody. Felt like a complete idiot when I looked it up later. Now if I don't know, I ask.
 
On one of my reports i wrote "the patient is confuzzled" instead of confused.

Brown is confuzzled 24/7

Patient: Hey I think my leg is broken!
Brown: Looks like it
Patient's friend: Reckon his tibia is broken
Brown: Nah, it'll be his femur
Patient's friend: But, the bottom part of his leg is broken, femur is the most superior bone
Brown: (takes stethoscope from around neck and hands it to the guy) Here mate, you better have this ....

Was funny as hell :D
 
Had to take CPR class yesterday for my recertification... because apparently we forget how to push on a chest every 2 years. I was probably the only person in there who has done CPR recently, let alone with any sort of regularity.


I don't get why they require someone who has ACLS to take BCLS when there were really no revolutionary changes. Push the chest, push hard, push fast. Ta-da! Hope you enjoyed wasting 4 hours and $50 for it, we'll see you in a couple of months for our $200 ACLS and PALS recert!


Just money grabbing...
