My goal is a 0.5 on the pain scale.

That's refreshing to hear. I've run with a couple of medics who wouldn't give pain meds at all.

Does morphine drop the blood pressure as much as they say in the text books?

not usualy. it will bottom out some people but a fluid bolus will help that. some people arent affected at all. it just kinda depends. i have given 20mg to people with no affect on BP and i have given 2mg and dropped it to 60/40.

Sorry, but what's a bolt?

As far as I know they hadn't done anything else to him before we left

A bolt is a bolt they screw into the patients skull to monitors ICP.

Oh gotcha, thanks!

Then no, I do not believe he got a bolt in the ED, at least not when we were there.

So now that the controversy surrounding this code has died down. It is safe to say I am 100% on he defibrillator. For ROSC. That is post 300mf amio. Then vfib, then I shocked. Died 24 hours later, BUT. I'm 100% on the defib pads!

Got a steal of a deal on a Littmann, was talking about it with one of my buddies on the phone about three hours ago. Just realized it's been around my neck ever since :wacko:

Really :wacko: since I always throw it over the shoulder instead of around the neck

Well, I'm done with tonight. Gunshot that turned into a code, then a STEMI. This is supposed to be a quiet truck!

Ohhhhhhhh......can I come work with you? I haven't worked a GSW in almost a year.

I am such a terrible white cloud. I'm afraid I'll never get out of paramedic school cause during field internships my crew won't get any calls. :-S

Welcome to my world. I still have yet to work a code, gsw, all the really cool calls. And I have close to 600 hours of ridetime completed. And it took three months to gain 64 team leads. And I was riding 25 to 30 hours a week.:wacko:

Eh. No worries. Never doing the long-term relationship thing again. I'm just going to enjoy my freedom.
