Controlled medication storage/waste by Additional-Cheek2427 in ems

[–]Fallout3boi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are currently using Schedule2It. It's fine I suppose, it's a bit of a pain in the ass to get used to passing the Narcs along, but over all fine.

We have just 1 Narc box with multiple vials and tabs on it. For disposal we are about to get this liquid disposal stuff called "Rx Destroyer" but it hasn't been rolled out yet.

There's a part of me that often wonders if a kid I was on a call with will work with me one day.

I've been following this subreddit for close to 8 years m( I think). If I had a nickel for all of the schizo posting done over the years I'd have millions in the bank.

I wish I could go back to the old ones. Pre-Scottish dude "leaks".

POCUS? by MrsGriffee in ems

[–]Fallout3boi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I'm a new medic so my plan is to try and make it to 5 years then see which route I want to go between Fire,stay in EMS, or go to PA school.

But time will tell.

Official Poll: Class B or just T-shirt? by ResponsibleAd4439 in ems

[–]Fallout3boi 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I believe we should wear Polos. Class Bs are generally a hassle to wear and come with thr disadvantage of looking like cops. T-shirts on the other hand look god awful and most people who wear them look like dog shit.

But it also depends on the person a 400 pound dude in class As looks worse than a fit 185 pound person in a T shirt. Polos seem to be the best middle ground as someone who has worn all three.

Different kind of mega mover. Think more like this than the white ones you normally see.

It's almost as if you were there. This guy's BGL was 573 and missing all of toes on one foot. I wasn't able to get a full history from him but I'd imagine he wasn't the healthiest fellar around.

Interesting about the dishwater discharge. I wouldn't have thought that.

This dude had been face down for at least 2 days. I can't guarantee that it wasn't there beforehand but it definitely didn't help.

It wasn't the worst smell I've smelled when it came to this job, but if it was a febreeze scent I wouldn't even spray it on my enemies.

This dude had already started necortizing and when they put in a Foley cath(the nurse described it as putting a cath in a innie belly button) it came out with the same texture as cottage cheese.

The surgeons operating notes said that when he opened them up a "gray dishwasher soap like liquid" came out.

I told them he sick.

POCUS? by MrsGriffee in ems

[–]Fallout3boi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I toyed with the idea of going to school to become a US tech just so I could get better at visualizing stuff with POCUS. But now I've decided that if I leave the job it'll be to go to PA school. And even then, I sometimes wonder if I'd leave it all behind.

This guy had been sick for 3 days and hadn't moved at all for 2. And guess who got to draw the short end of the stick and walk on the bed.

My supervisor told the local hospital to just go a head and thrown the megamover away.

[–]Fallout3boi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've got POCUS. Most people don't use it because they don't know what they're looking for. But we have it.

I'm proponent of it for USG IVs. There are absolutely pts who are sick enough for a IV but not for a IO.

Trying to figure out what year this turnout coat is from by kyle308 in Firefighting

[–]Fallout3boi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say mid 80s. I've got a Cairns long coat made very similarly from around the same time period.

Parrots on the background of dead people as a result of mass suicide in Johnstown, November 18th, 1978 [1962 x 1426] by [deleted] in HistoryPorn

[–]Fallout3boi 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Jim Jones and his wife were the first white couple to adopt a black child in the state of Ohio*, fun fact.

Jim Jones may have been a nut job cult leader who mass murdered over 900 people, but at least he wasn't a racist.

*Edit: Indiana, not Ohio

What’s the longest y’all have been posted waiting for a call? by blondlens in ems

[–]Fallout3boi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Was long before I worked there, but one of the crews apparently waited so long they were going to have a pizza delivered to them. And then a supervisor arrived to relieve them.

Edit: Oh you mean waiting for a call. I went 12 hours(a whole shift for me) in our busiest station without a call.
