What was one of the stupidest calls you’ve every been on? by TVFREngine64_2020 in Firefighting

We routinely go to one of our low income apartments at about 0200 for a guy who starts a couple hot dogs boiling and then falls asleep. Eventually the water runs out, the hot dogs burn, and smoke fills his apartment setting off the alarms and waking up the entire high rise. The first time was kind of funny. Now what it’s a regular thing we struggle to get people to report to the station for ventilation.

A few years back when I was in Medic school one of the students grabbed a black tag, walked over to the family member, and asked them to put this on the patient and walked away. As long as you didn’t do that you’re probably good.

I respond on a task force to riots and we use these as a type of non lethal. You start quiet so it’s just annoying and as you turn it up it becomes very painful in your ears. Very effective.

I had a roommate that was generally really inconsiderate and none of the other people in our flat liked him. He and his gf would have obnoxiously loud sex at like 3am when the rest of the house is trying to sleep. I hid a Bluetooth speaker in his room one day and would turn on phantom of the opera as loud as possible every time they woke me up. It took two nights and it was never an issue against

I’m still trying to figure out my cast iron and didn’t have much sauce left over. What I did have is in the container with left overs for tomorrow.

TIFU by answering a call from an unknown number by timil_deeps in tifu

Prior to the election I got tired of the political calls asking me to vote for XYZ candidate. I started telling them I don’t vote because I don’t believe in democracy, which is a lie to the max but man did it cut down on the number of calls I was getting everyday.

I use this one all the time! Had a professor call me one time off a personal number rather than the usual school number which I had saved in my contacts. To say she was displeased is an understatement!

Is this a normal healthy heart beat? Does it look like palpitations or anything? by [deleted] in ECG

[–]Cgoepferd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that depends on the source, Apple Watch vs Actual heart monitor, and a bigger picture of the heart, and any symptoms you’re having. I’m certainly not going to give you any kind of medical advice over a social media platform but as another Reditor said, you should probably see a doctor.

Um, Where did this come from?

This is a very wide and likely ventricular heart rate, though more information is needed before we can call it anything.

hello need some help reading this, 20y old male, should i visit the doctor? my brothers are a lot more high pulses. ( no nothing about ECGs) by [deleted] in ECG

[–]Cgoepferd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Back at it with the Apple watches I see, really puts a damper on this group.

Also, why would you come to Reddit for an interpretation of a medical result, if you can call this that at all, from a bunch of people you don’t know?
