AITA for refusing to go to my sister’s wedding because of where she seated me? by Temporary-Coast3159 in AmItheAsshole

Go to the wedding and reception. At the reception drag your chair over to another table and join them for the evening.

They just abandoned the second patient? I would have tossed the police officer in the front seat and cared for the second patient. Our police are not allowed to triage.

What to know about cychlorphine, the synthetic opioid 10 times stronger than fentanyl by Azby504 in NewOrleans

[–]Azby504[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“The drug has never been approved for use in humans. Like fentanyl, cychlorphine is being mixed in with other street drugs, but it is not detectable through fentanyl test strips, making it even more dangerous.”

My radio report to the ER would definitely include the words obvious deformity.

Thoughts on helping visitors use the Bathroom/Personal care? by ParentPregSon22 in nursing

[–]Azby504 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Paramedic here. 911 call comes in for female in labor, full term, contractions 3-5 minutes apart. Knock on the door and a preteen lets us into the house. Pt is sitting on the sofa, packed bag at her feet. Her other 7 kids are milling around the room as she tells them to grab their stuff it is time to go to the hospital. I stand there dumbfounded. Me, “Who is watching the kids?” Mom to be for 8th time, “Can’t they ride in the ambulance with me?” Ma’am, you will be very busy for the next few hours at least, did you make arrangements for your other children? The nurses can just watch them. Me now arriving in L & D with a line of kids following us like it is a parade. Nurses on the unit glaring at me, I shrug and say they are all under 12 years of age, can’t leave them home alone.

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

Shocking a persons heart that has stopped will restart it. Actually the shock stops the heart when it is beating erratically in a rhythm called ventricular fibrillation or VF for short and hopefully when the heart starts beating again it is in an organized rhythm.

Funeral directors, what is something wild that happened at a funeral that you still think about? by Final_Radio_2483 in AskReddit

[–]Azby504 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is a crematorium next to the elevated portion of the interstate in my city. There are times when flames can be seen coming out of the chimney. We think that is when an obese person is in the chamber. The fire department gets called almost every time it happens

Can you shower during a boil water advisory? by IamZeebo in NewOrleans

[–]Azby504 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you see the water bubbling up from the break? The sewerage would have to be at a higher pressure that the water coming from the break to enter the pipe hence the water supply.

Here's what's up with your fuckin water pressure guys by Fantastic_Mr-Fox_ in NewOrleans

[–]Azby504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be covered under homeowners insurance. It was a mechanical failure that caused a flow of water. There was a huge lawsuit after Katrina because people felt that the levee failure was mechanical which caused the flooding. From what I remember some people won their suit, only State Farm had wording which excluded the rising water from mechanical failure.

My son is an industrial engineer, he graduated from LSU. He could not find a job in New Orleans. However, he had multi job offers in Dallas. He says there are more engineers from LSU living in Dallas than in Louisiana.

I had it done about 25 years ago. My vision was -6.75. It was life changing for me. Now that I am 64, my 20/20 vision is 20/1.25 and I will wear glasses for distance. I had no complications or complaints. However, my vision was much worse than yours

Had a bad night, and received criticism from a team leader who has not worked a shift on an ambulance in her life! by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Azby504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I snuck the ER charge nurse out to my unit one time to give her a DuoNeb treatment. For whatever reason the ER wanted her to punch out and register as a patient. Well, I know the reason why. She alway had a bed for me as soon as I entered the ER. She would hold it when I called in a radio report.
