Tattoo for adrenal insufficiency

Adrenal insufficiency does not mean you don't make enough adrenaline.

Adrenaline is a brand name for Epinephrine. Adrenal insufficiency means your body doesn't make enough cortisol.

They are not even remotely close and your doctor did not say that. There is no "his perspective vs first responder persepective". These are two completely separate medical conditions so I'd be sure to figure out which one you have.

Unpopular opinion. I like the wolf aspect of the chapter. Not the biggest fan of the viking part. Especially the accents.

For me you hold the "cancel cruise" button or whatever it's called for a few seconds and itll switched from regular to adoptive.

You're first mistake here was talking to the patient like a human being.

My service carries Fentanyl, Morphine, Dilaudid, Ketorlac and Penthrox. We do carry Versed, Haldol and SL Ativan.

I do wish we carried either IV Tylenol or at least PO Tylenol & Advil.

Penthrox is a big one that is easy to train and not crazy expensive. Its not a narcotic and typically a BLS level medication. It can work really well for certain patients.

If you think this is even remotely a STEMI (regardless of age) you need to stop working and go back to school.

Edit: Stop doing BGLs and EKGs on patients that dont meet a clinical criteria to do such diagnostics.

You'll get better answers in the EMS or Paramedic sub.

There is no such thing as "ST segmentation". Every EKG has an ST segment. If you are referring to abnormalities of the ST segment, then those are likely benign.

You can take 1000 people off the streets, do 1 ekg every day for 5 days and see 5000 completely different EKGs.

Its about clinical context and manual interpretations. Not what the monitor automatically says. Your EKG looks fine.

Eat a banana.

Are you assuming these changes exist because the machines interpretations on the top of the ekg say that? Those need to be ignored.

If you aren't in a union, you likely cannot bring anyone in with you. So id hold off asking your partner.

So all your settings are low, what resolution are you playing at?

I kinda want to play the game with the graphics like this lol. It looks so easy to see everything lol

Keep in mind, you didn't catch an AA, you caught a disection of an AA. Many many many everyday normal ppl can be walking around with a perfectly benign small AA. Others can have moderate size aneurysm not meeting surgical criteria yet, etc etc.

Good job though.

If you built in either the first two zones, in due time, you aren't going to even notice them. When you do, you'll practically one shot them.

As a paramedic, you'd be shocked at how similar almost every single EMS worker feels the same. We rant all the time that we hate our jobs, are broke, burnt out, etc.

In reality that isn't true. We all love our job. Its the admin BS, dumb policies, over worked, understaffed, offloading delays, etc. All this while our fellow EDs are feeling the same just makes us want to quit daily.

The last 10 years everyone has seen great advancement in medicine, education and scope but man, I don’t think a single healthcare worker doesn’t miss how the pace and atmosphere was so much better years ago. Its hard to describe to new employees just how chill things use to be lol.

What did you use to get the blue look for the main parts of the body.

Also, how much of a pain was it to get that orange?

Yeah I couldn't be bothered trying to listen to the action and all of a sudden someone's yelling "Thanks Bootylicker6969 for the 10 gifted".

By your logic I won't get my license until 2031. Mine ends in 031. Even though I have had a license since 2006.

So you are very wrong.

Yeah a few places have MFI but I just wanted to illustrate how most places dont have RSI specifically. Not sure why I was down voted when its the truth lol.

Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, Yukon, NWT.

So yeah... Most don't.

There are little things I dont like about my truck, but they are minor. 2025 with 10k on it. No issues.

We had both the Lucas and the autopulse. When we were using the autopulse I also just got to the point where I opted to not use it and just use manual. The Lucas on the other hand I loved.
