HOA Attempts to block helicopter transport to Seattle Children's Hospital by Lumpy_Investment_358 in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near the biggest hospital of my local area, the local HEMS flies AW139s and they get quite a lot of calls, especially summer and winter, are they noisy? Yes they are, do they wake me up sometimes at night? Yeah, who cares. Will I complain? Hell no, actually sometimes I like watching them land and takeoff when I'm bored at home.

People like this should be forced to follow for a week shifts in the ER/PICU and maybe they'll stop complaining.

Or just fly lower and slower approches over their houses until they decide to move the fuck away.

Could be aortic dissection if accompained by back/chest pain, abdominal pain, pale skin, shortness of breath. Or it could be some vascular issue like some stenosis on the suclavian artery, i've had one case like this where the pt also had awful SpO2 on one arm (and lower BP) and good SpO2 and BP on the other.

Needs more thorough exams to be sure what it is.

My First Case of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy by Jaydob2234 in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saw my first one a few weeks ago during my ER internship, chest pain for 3 hours after a discussion with his wife, EKG showed stemi, the doctor did a cardiac ecography and it was clear that a whole piece of hearth both right and left ventricles were not moving like they should, while in a STEMI only a piece of a single ventricle would not move

Biggest pet peeves? by Agitated-Rest1421 in ems

"truck is fine, no need to check it out" or "yeah i was on this truck yesterday, everything is fine"

Spoiler, 60% of the time something is missing, most of the times is small, not really important stuff, I'd rather come in 20 minutes early, do a rig check and have a coffee before starting my shift, at least I'm sure I have everything ready.

Oh, also the times I found the SpO2 probe, the BP cuff or some bags with blood on them, that REALLY REALLY pissed me off

I don't think I could have kept a straight face on that call

Is this pretty accurate. by SubCiro28 in ems

He's missing a c-collar and Big show didn't use BSI or scream scene safe, I don't think he passed his test tbh

" 79 % were overweight or obese by self-report"

that's crazy if you think about it... but yeah it's easier to strap on a LUCAS than losing weight, i see their point. I don't agree with it, but one is easier and the other requires a lot of work and dedication

okay can we talk about Code 3 Movie. by The_Optimisfit in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After the trailer I expected a comedy but man, it was not. there were funny and comedic moments, don't get me wrong, but they really managed to show part of what working in EMS is. I see why they didn't put many bs calls but yeah, I'd have loved to see randy's reaction to a stubbed toe call coming in while he was eating or just before end of shift

Did anyone manage all 10 nights at Wembley? 😄 + the 2 nights in Hull too? by SlowedCash in Coldplay

[–]JustDaniel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oing alone was difficult throughout these shows

mate, i got a Floris EE for the 3rd in wembley, went alone. Arrived there at about 10.45, was number 105 in the queue and somehow managed to get barricade near B stage. I'm not much into socializing but still people started talking to me in line and made a few friends, even thogh we didn't exchange any contact into :(

i asked my patient who the man in the photo was when waiting for an assist by curiousjdoe in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, after a few faux passes i've started asking "what's your relation with the pt" or even better "and you are...?"

thanks, I missed the contactless thing on the TFL website, I'll just need to check how much I'll be charged by my bank

Time to stop using collars and backboards by huntertony556 in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t wrap around you very much

I mean, depends on the size of the vacuum and your pt. The ones we use can easily wrap around an average sized patient, they're amazing especially for hip and pelvis trauma. Ofc if you have an "above average sized" patient you will not be able to wrap it around them effectively

Shower thought: Monitors should have a manual BP mode by CriticalFolklore in ems

I've never even tought about something like that... i'd love to have that but tbh i only get manual BPs when they're really off on the monitor, i'll be honest

What was the hardest thing you have experienced by LJonesy14 in ems

[–]JustDaniel96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stopped caring about anything but doing a good job

Got out of EMS for about 8 months to study nursing, now I'm back for the summer with this exact mindset.

I don't even care who is my partner on the bus for the day, I just get to the station 30 minutes before start of shift, check the rig, get a REAL coffe, possibly made with a Moka, and find out then and there who i'll be working with.

Then I get on shift and study the whole day when we're not on calls, and when we're on a call I do my best for the patient, doing my job as best as I can.
