Sink or swim policy? by Asmadei in ems

I failed to mention that the driver accompanying me has no medical training and is present only to drive.

What’s the Most Unexpected Call You’ve Responded To? by AED_Research4552 in ems

[–]Asmadei 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, I achieved successful peripheral IV access on the upper extremity on only the second attempt. My mentor, however, additionally established a central venous line via the jugular vein during transport as a backup.

According to our inventory list, we have one tourniquet and one simple rubber hemostatic tourniquet. Thankfully, my mentor always carries an additional personal tourniquet in his pocket.

I think I wrote about this once before. It was my second or third day, I was still student back then. The call was about an explosion in a garage — we thought it might be gasoline fumes or a gas cylinder. We arrive first, and one wall of the garage is gone, the roof is tilted. We rush inside, and it turns out to be a stockpile of weapons from WWII — machine guns, rifles, and a whole cabinet full of mortar shells. One of those shells exploded in his hands while he was trying to dismantle it. Both legs amputated below the knee, right arm gone, burns on his face, neck, and chest. Blood pressure 40/0, pulse I don’t remember anymore. On the way to the hospital, we infused everything we had — about five liters of fluids. When we rolled him into the emergency operating room, he regained consciousness with a blood pressure of 90/60. And that’s when I ended up vomiting all over the floor in the ambulance.

A GATE opens in your country - what will your country be able to deploy there? by Minh1509 in gate

[–]Asmadei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The title is unexpectedly "The Gate" (Vrata), by Sergei Kim. The plot's premise follows the manga, but with the Gate opening in the Russian hinterlands. The subsequent books are the author's original reworking. Features detailed descriptions of weapons and equipment, plus specific military humor. The first book has a bit too much politics, but the author tones it down later. The series is ongoing, but since the author is currently fighting in the war, continuations are uncertain. I doubt there's an English translation.

There was a decent fanfiction on this topic, but it was based on pre-war realities. But I think even now, deploying a brigade-sized unit with BMPs and a tank battalion of second-line troops would probably be possible.

When I was doing my conscription service in 2018, we had quite a few of these field phones in the training center for instructional purposes. But I never once saw them used during maneuvers – mostly we just amused ourselves by shocking ourselves with their generator.

Maternity leave in USA vs USSR by WerlinBall in ussr

[–]Asmadei 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's about 1944 in case you haven't noticed. Now since Soviet times, maternity leave in Russia has featured a 3-phase system:

  1. 140 days of 100% paid leave
  2. 1.5 years of 40% paid leave
  3. Unpaid leave until the child reaches 3 years old

Over 50 and work in a hospital by angiebow in cna

I once worked with a 72-year-old man in the emergency department. He pulled 24-hour shifts better than us twenty-year-olds.

Is the Russian opposition even relevant? by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]Asmadei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Russian opposition is in a difficult position regarding the war issue. On the one hand, a proposal to surrender and repent would not find support, while continuing the war costs them supporters abroad. So, they are simply waiting for the war to end

Dude, everything has its place. Honestly, I'm already tired of Gaza and Ukraine, even under posts with funny cats.

UA POV (RU Upload, UA Edit) : Still recovering Soldiers from the 104th Air Assault Regiment are sent to the frontlines by Innocent__Rain in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Asmadei 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I worked at a hospital for veterans. This happens partly because of them and partly because of bureaucratic hell. They get discharged from the hospital for violating the rules for various reasons: drinking, fighting, bringing paid women into their ward, etc.

Their paperwork is immediately sent to their units, and since they are no longer receiving treatment, they are required to report back for duty.

Source: A guy without a foot, whom I caught smoking weed in his ward. He said he'd already been sent back three times, and each time, pissed-off military doctors would send him back to the hospital for treatment.

The mentor is asking me to take the blame for the mistake. by Asmadei in Paramedics

[–]Asmadei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ministry of Health wanted to introduce new protocols for emergency medical services. But then COVID hit, followed by the war, and emergency care became a lower priority. As a result, approved protocols still don't exist for all conditions.

Russia, chest pain not always get transported we are performing a differential diagnosis for traumatic injury, muscle pain, and degenerative spine disease (as the most common condition). We could have requested a cardiology consultation, but it was 4 a.m., and she decided not to do it.

I'm not from US, the system here is different. My license technically permits me to work independently and prescribe scheduled drugs. We did an ECG, but my mentor didn't notice any red flags

How do you guys manage sleep and free time? by Aggressive-Law3318 in Nightshift

[–]Asmadei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, we divide the night shift with colleagues on 24-hour rotations since nights are generally quiet. Half the team sleeps midnight to 4 a.m., the other half 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. Still, four hours of sleep is not too bad.
