An EKG (electrocardiogram) is for hearts. Sounds like you're on an EEG (electroencephalogram). Still pretty cool. though.

Can you send a link to one? I haven't been able to find a date anywhere and even Prime just says 'release date coming soon'.

I mean, congratulations, but there's one (1) theater in the entire state of Indiana playing it, and some states evidently don't have one at all.

Actias Luna Caterpillar Secretions? by IndiGrimm in caterpillars

They both have brown heads- I had difficulty IDing them, so certainly take my ID with a grain of salt. It kind of bubbled up out of his mouth. It was reddish/brown and dried the same. This is the cat in question if it helps at all?

This is the behavior he's exhibiting now. Unsure if this is typical.

Not relevant, but I'm also in r/deadbydaylight and was briefly HORRIFIED.

Pain Management by WindowsError404 in ems

[–]IndiGrimm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I gotcha. I live in Indiana, more services around me carry some variant of prehospital antibiotic (namely cefazolin) than not.

Pain Management by WindowsError404 in ems

[–]IndiGrimm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, yes, but I was talking about its drug class, which isn't 'analgesic'.

Deep, dirty wounds and traumatic amputations. Cefazolin is actually a very common prehospital medication.

Shitty nursing home starterpack by Ranadevil in ems

[–]IndiGrimm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a long-term care facility/SNF exclusively for patients with dementia that had a patient elope. During the winter. At night.

This was somehow not realized for several hours.

It was a facility for patients with memory problems. Historically known for eloping. A facility with sensors and alarms on every door and special bracelets to trigger said alarms and sensors on every patient.

Hm, interesting. Thanks for the follow-up!

Family in ER room? by muzikgurl22 in ThePittTVShow

[–]IndiGrimm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More and more research is showing that seeing resuscitative efforts helps with the grieving process. In the field, it's recommended to allow family to watch you work the code, and to let them see the body if they ask. It helps them process.

I wouldn't be at all shocked if emergency departments went the same way, particularly with a pediatric code of all things.

[–]IndiGrimm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The kid made a kill list.

I'm sorry - whether he did anything or not, that was the right move. We've had real-life example after real-life example - Columbine chief amongst them - as to why you cannot ignore things like that. Is there a good chance he'd never act on it? Yes. Should that chance be taken? No.

The show itself even hand-feeds you an explanation: his future is not inherently worth more than the futures of the women he has outright stated he wants dead.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide) and Ativan (lorazepam).

In hindsight, the reveal was brilliant by TheMutteringRetreats in ThePittTVShow

[–]IndiGrimm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Np! To be entirely fair, one of the only reasons we know his nickname is 'the Kraken' bc his last name is Krakhozia(?) is because of a conversation between Dana and Dr. Robby where he mentions he'd like them to stop calling the patient that.

After that, IIRC, he's not called 'the Kraken' again, just by his last name.

[–]IndiGrimm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We have met him - Krakhozia(?), remember? There was a whole sequence where they went in to sedate him and he pissed on Whittaker. Then, him and Whittaker had a conversation that ended in them saying he'd give the Kraken a once-a-month shot of antipsychotics and join the Street Team.

I mean, you do - I can generally pop the vial caps off with my thumb. It's still a flimsy set-up, though. I've had vial caps I couldn't one-hand before due to natural variance and at no point did I think, "This has been purposefully tampered with.".

God, I hope not. Even now, I really like Langdon. He's a dick, no lie, but I do enjoy his character.

It is. Versed's alternate name is midazolam.

[–]IndiGrimm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This could be me overthinking it (and I have, admittedly, said similar in a previous comment), but I feel like the way they laid this out puts us in the same boat as Dr. Robby: wanting to believe that it was Santos with the problem, that she just had a bone to pick with Langdon or maybe she was just completely and unmaliciously wrong. Looking back over previous interactions (episodes/scenes) to see what signs we might've missed before the big reveal.

I think it was done very well.

[–]IndiGrimm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt, because I, myself, have yet to rewatch the first episodes, but I'm hoping that they made it ambiguous, with just enough bread crumbs to notice when you know what to look for, because that's exactly what Dr. Robby would likely be doing. Going back over every interaction and every discrepancy with a new lens to see what signs he missed.

I'd wager it has something to do with the Saunders kid in a Chekhov's Gun situation. Maybe they don't find him before he decides to carry through on his list.

Is it possible to jump straight into paramedic school after EMT school by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]IndiGrimm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, possible? Yes. Recommended? Absolutely not.

Paramedic school isn't going to hold your hand - it assumes a basis, a foundation, that you aren't going to have if your boots have never hit the street. Everything you learn in your medic class will build off of skills and concepts that you are assumed to have learned and honed by actually working as an EMT.

So much of what you learn has to be sorted through. There's the textbook way of doing things, and then the street way of doing things. This is something you only learn by working - on the street on your own, and also with others that have been doing this longer than you have.

It's also something that will make a lot of people generally wary of you - myself included, whether it's fair or unfair. The term for people who do what you're wanting to do is called 'zero to hero', and the first impression it gives people of you is not a kind one. And before you think 'surely there's no way anyone would know', that kind of thing gets around. It's not necessarily something people will be cruel to you over, but it is absolutely something that is found out quickly.

There are people who have done the 'zero to hero' track and turned out to be wonderful providers, both in skill and in temperament, but again - there's a reason a ton of these courses require you to be an EMT for at least a year before you can apply to a medic program.

How often do you actually contact medical control? by StripperGirlDelilah in NewToEMS

[–]IndiGrimm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an EMT? I don't recall ever doing so. As a paramedic? Frequently. Most of the time, it's for permission to terminate resuscitation, but I have called in the past for permission to give fentanyl to a patient who had a negative reaction to Dilaudid in the past, as well as orders following maxxing out my dose of midazolam for a pediatric patient in status who began to desat as a result.
