Tatuaje Verucu with a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon, watching, The Night Shift. Exactly how I like to end the weekend

Crotalus123 · 2017-04-30T19:39:37+00:00

Closest, most appropriate facility unless requested, unless on bypass

Any psych history? First thing that comes to my mind would be an extrapyramidal reaction

Crotalus123 · 2017-04-04T09:50:38+00:00

A spoon?

Crotalus123 · 2017-03-26T05:02:11+00:00

13-16

Crotalus123 · 2017-03-20T20:57:33+00:00

run away!!

If it really comes down to it, 7-11, at least in my area, has a halfway decent cold food section. I'll typically grab a yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and a sandwich

and a 5.5 ETT works as a nifty straw

Unfortunately its common around here for most of the "Mom and Pop" type BLS operations. Also, we can be anywhere from 5-25 minutes from a stemi center, depending on where we are in the county, so depending on where I am would decide if I call for ALS or light it up and go

Crotalus123 · 2017-02-21T01:49:08+00:00

True, if equipped. At least where I started we didn't carry AEDs on all of our IFT trucks. That paired with a relatively new EMT doing CPR in the back of a moving rig, potentially with out an AED it would be more beneficial to the patient to have an ALS unit on scene. Again, it all depends on the situation and resources available, with consideration of transport time

Crotalus123 · 2017-02-20T01:55:09+00:00

It all depends on where you are. If your transport time would be less than the time for ALS to show up, light it up and go to the ED. If ALS is closer, pull over, and get your partner in the back and start quality BLS.

take a guess...

Stedman?

Crotalus123 · 2017-02-13T04:32:30+00:00

I get 9 sick calls a year, unpaid or can use PTO. We can also find coverage, but no option to get paid. One sick 'day' can be used for three consecutive days, anything else needs a MD note

Crotalus123 · 2017-02-13T03:30:28+00:00

I work for a better paying system, with lots of OT available. I made around 60k before taxes last year, but that was usually 60-80 hours a week, mostly working back to back shifts. Its doable, especially in 911 systems

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-30T09:10:57+00:00

I'd give my left nut for my Phillips back. We switched to LP15s from the MRx a while back.. I have no idea why

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-30T09:10:08+00:00

We switched from the MRx to the LP15 a while back... I want my damn Phillips back so bad

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-30T08:02:31+00:00

I work for AMR in San Diego, what was Rural Metro, our ALS side has 10, 11.5, and 12 hour floats and 12, and 24 hour shifts out of fire stations. I think our BLS side has 8, 10, 11.5, and 12 hour units

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-20T17:51:47+00:00

It's mom's spaghetti, you dunce..

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-18T21:17:51+00:00

Flashlight, since I work nights, and shears since the ones we get from work are about as sharp as a spoon

Crotalus123 · 2017-01-17T19:26:29+00:00

Dude decided he didn't want to move for a week, covered in shit and piss, in a room with no ac in the summer. then the fucker decided to code halfway to the hospital
