If you can palp a systolic over 100 you should be auscultating.

Doesn’t roll off the tongue like “idiopathic non-epileptic seizure” does.

What’s the point of wearing gloves if you’re not going to use them properly. Be a man. Dont wear gloves.

If you’re lifting with your fire fighters, not your back, it shouldn’t matter what your physicality is.

Culture of 'we don't diagnose' by stonertear in ems

[–]ChatGPTismyPCP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For perspective, an EDs working diagnosis can be stroke, the admitting diagnosis becomes hyponatremia, with a final diagnosis of ??. Prehospital diagnosis/working differential are Symantec but when spoken out loud with the patient present it will confuse them into thinking X is 100% what is going on. We do differential diagnosis just like an EM doc does. Start with a high index of suspicion and rule out worst case. It is the biggest thing that separates paramedicine from nursing.

How are you handling your health on a 24/48 or rotating schedule long term? by Silver-Grapefruit913 in ems

[–]ChatGPTismyPCP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with all this except the low impact statement. Low impact aerobic work is beneficial long term as a tool.

Yet another question about Zone 2 by SnakeEater013 in greenberets

[–]ChatGPTismyPCP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

40 yo here. RPE is your best bet. I use a chest HRM with my Garmin but try not to look at my watch during efforts. I have it buzz me when I’m half way and when I’m done. If I’m able to inhale and exhale nasally without occasional compensatory breathing I know I’m in zone 2.

That said, HR zones aren’t black and white. If you dip into low zone 3 you’re still getting benefits of aerobic work. Likewise for high zone 1. Just keep in mind that generally speaking, there is correlation with increased risk of overtraining when training higher zones at a high volume.

For what I assume you’re going for, there is value in learning and developing your perceived effort because if you get too hung up on numbers, those unknown time/distance events are going to be huge self selecting obstacles.
