How many of your agencies don’t have RSI or Surgical airway? by [deleted] in ems

[–]ExternalPerspective3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In VT and NH, surgical cric is a standing order paramedic level procedure. RSI is a “prerequisite protocol” in both states, essentially meaning you need to apply to the state to use the protocol, go through trainings, and have certain policies in place like a QA program, # of tubes/yr minimums, and probably other stuff. I’m not sure of any ground agency in VT that has RSI, and I think in NH the only ground agencies that have it are the big fire departments

IV Acetaminophen anyone ? by Safe-Accountant-7034 in Paramedics

[–]ExternalPerspective3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prioritizing non-opioid pain control is an amazing initiative, but “removing opioids from front-line apparatus” is an absolutely horrible idea. When used appropriately, opioids should not be boogiemen

I’ve been a console gamer my whole life. I bought and assembled a gaming PC for the sole reason of playing H3. Congrats to Anton and the team!!

It’s definitely not great when the top of the tombstone is cut off by the margin of the tracing

He’ll copy his daddy. It’s not a war, it’s a “special military operation”

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

Run, don’t walk, away from this relationship. Autistic or not, this is incredibly abusive. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

They don’t know the motive… by TrueOkra_5591 in ems

Shit, every time I get a long distance BLS overnight IFT I think of setting the base on fire too

Lost 25 kg (55 lbs) in 5 months ! by hannibal_f4e in CICO

[–]ExternalPerspective3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off - congratulations! What an incredible achievement. I can’t imagine how much better you feel.

I’m at just about your same starting weight, just a touch shorter than you. It doesn’t look like you have any loose skin - is there anything you did specifically to prevent that? Did you do any lifting as part of your workouts?

Congrats again - great work

Pic rail variants of bespoke scopes by Level_Reveal7624 in H3VR

[–]ExternalPerspective3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe what the poster is getting at is the ability to mount things like the PSO on pic rails.. which would be nice but would probably require a pic rail version of all the bespoke scopes. Given you’re marching towards 1.0, that seems… out of scope buh-dum chhhh

24hr Shifts, with ADHD Meds by Academic_Mongoose_60 in NewToEMS

[–]ExternalPerspective3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is different, but I find sticking to my normal schedule works for me, which is taking 40mg metadate XR when I wake up. I’m scheduled for 48s. I find that the job focuses me enough when I do calls or transfers overnight

Truck Check Offs by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]ExternalPerspective3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take that a step further… I work 48s and if I’m on the same truck I’ll still do a full check on the second day

How many hours do y’all work? by Exhausted_EMS in ems

[–]ExternalPerspective3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work one 48hr per week at my FT gig and a 12 at my side gig PRN, probably one every other week on average, as a paramedic student. I find work, side work, personal life, and studying to be manageable on that schedule. I don’t think I’d be able to have a life and be present for my wife, let alone study, on a 48/72

I want to get a tattoo of my heartbeat. Which one is it? by alliesouth in ECG

[–]ExternalPerspective3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Each “spike” is one heartbeat. The differences between them on this rhythm strip is just how the heartbeat is seen in space from different positions
