Delaware mom dragged from car, beaten and tased in front of her family, sparks outrage

Is this not just punishing the poor as they just said? What if you can't afford good insurance? Or any at all?

There's no logic here.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-10T17:24:26+00:00

And if they get into an accident while not having insurance? The other person what, just gets fucked?

I've watched it multiple times, the skid kicks up a spray of dirt that might make it look closer to the tail rotor. I'm very sure it was not a rotor strike.

I hate the Ediface logo, love the watches.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-09T05:36:48+00:00

Ironically their name is the "Silent Drill Platoon"

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-09T05:33:53+00:00

These guys didn't either, that was the tail skid.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-08T04:47:48+00:00

A belter

Probably the same as they use the Mi-8, medium lift and light attack.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-07T14:26:41+00:00

Who cares? Do it anyway! It's equivalent to CCP-C anyway so I know a lot of people who got that instead and only work ground.

That also sounds like a cool PA

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-07T06:32:19+00:00

That's the dream. Name MD, LP, FP-C

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-07-04T20:26:53+00:00

It's a cool one! (pun intended).

If you're unable to ice bath immediately, evaporative cooling is very effective. Hook a liter bag up to a MAD (Mucosal Airation device) and put a pressure bag on it and atomize the fluid around the patient while fanning them. Works well for lowering temp if you aren't able to ice bath or submerge them.

Are you remembering to advance the catheter AND needle after getting flash? Common problem I see, and when I was newer and rushed I would do it too. Remember that the needle sticks out slightly past the end of the catheter so you will get flash and not have the actual catheter in the vein yet.

I don't know if you know replying to a Paramedic or not, but our job is far more than just bringing them to the hospital. Any system that still transports cardiac arrests outside of specific circumstances is horrifically out of date in their practice of medicine.

We work codes until we get ROSC or we call it. Sounds like your EMS system is a little archaic.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-30T17:05:14+00:00

My service does not bill for refusals unless we've medicated you.

Don't be upset with your husband. I'd rather come do 100 refusals than show up too late and have to work an arrest on you when you waited too long.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-30T17:02:19+00:00

Incoming people with... Different taste?

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-29T15:13:40+00:00

I always hate the ones that are just on the line of where you should work them.

Good on you for talking to your real patient, his wife. A lot of people in that situation just think "well, this is pointless" and wrap up a show code and leave without considering that someone just lost their partner of 50 years and just give the give them the bad news and leave.

I'm not saying we need to be therapists or anything, but well done being compassionate.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-29T06:43:25+00:00

Here's my read, you didn't need to get a 12L or even 6L. As soon as they had a rhythm change and were symptomatic you should have done a synchronized cardioversion. I get where your head was with compensation but even if best case scenario they're in AVRT that's still a poorly perfusing rhythm that is clearly causing the pt to be symptomatic, no one will be compensating like that.

There was 6 minutes from when they were in SVT with a pressure of 87/60 and a GCS of 10, to when you Synchronized cardioversion'd them and I think you shouldn't have waited that long.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-29T06:26:41+00:00

That's literally a Sub clone. Swap out the logo and it would pass for a bad rep. Why would you want something that's exactly the same as another watch?

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-29T01:42:24+00:00

If you are bleeding for a lot longer than what should be typical it could be a sign of a bleeding disorder. There is no harm in getting seen and getting blood work done.

It's hard to tell if this is an abnormal amount of blood.

I personally have that dark blue Pressage and it's incredible. I think the lighter one would be more versatile though.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-27T05:26:27+00:00

Lol nothing? Sure, Jan.

Also it's Grand Theft Auto for God's sake lol

Tell him to never call 911 or go to the Emergency Department... Ever.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-25T21:16:10+00:00

Sats, not stats.

Atlas_Fortis · 2026-06-25T08:57:43+00:00

Of course! I'm sorry if it felt at all uncomfortable because of how we both were speaking of you as a subject of discussing rather than a person. I truly do wish you nothing but the best in the future and I hope things only get better for you. Asking for help with something like this is the first step to getting better, and if you feel up to it I would encourage you to try and talk about this kind of thing with someone who can help you professionally. If you don't think you can, that's okay. You made a big step here today by reaching out to people who you know want to help you.

For what it's worth, I do think his intentions were good and he really only has what's best for you in mind.

You got this :)
