Topics of yesterday's shift/why I love where I am:

An hour long discussion debating the pros and cons to everyone's method for differentiating between Vtach and SVT with abberant conduction.
Nicardipine and how/why its mechanism makes it excellent for hypertensive stroke patients.
When lidocaine might be superior to amiodarone and when it might not me.
And pretty much the best pharm math teaching ever..took a big chunk of p school and made it waaaaay simpler.

I've worked at two places like that. There was so much less stress not having to deal with being ridiculed for trying to do the right thing.
 
Jesus. It just happened again.

"we don't work codes on scene here. It's much better to put them in the truck and drive hot to the hospital."

All of the other medics were nodding at this sage wisdom.

I have to quit.

Sounds like a place full of one year 20 times over folks...
 
When you're responding to a call and another ambulance that's transporting their own patient answers the tone and requests mutual aid.

Grrrrr I can handle my own calls Mr. "when there is no supervisor on duty I like to play one."
 
DEmedic....wow. That is literally the dumbest thing I've heard all week.
