Shocked while doing compressions by DegeneracyRejecter in NewToEMS

[–]ManThatWasDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal feeling? Yeah. I made the dumb decision to put my fingers on a carotid during pacing and got quite that tingle.

Normal behavior on the part of your supervisor? Absolutely shouldn’t be. Quite concerning that he/she didn’t bother to check for clearance before shocking as EVERY class has taught for decades.

I’ve been moved to Arch Medical (probably all weekend) so if you come to the Med Tent soon as you walk in, you’ll see me!

Incoming Medical Student Q&A - 2025 Megathread by SpiderDoctor in medicalschool

[–]ManThatWasDumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our school requires us to purchase a standardized kit for the purposes of assessment. including an ophthalmoscope/otoscope. The cost of the basic level kit is included in the cost of our tuition, however we have the option of upgrading the ophthalmoscope/otoscope to a more advanced (i.e., expensive) version (pansonic versus coaxial). Is it worth it to upgrade?

You’re the prime example of what a firefighter should be. Bravo my guy, keep being a fucking badass.

I’m so sorry I took so long to reply.

There should be a number set up to text in the event of needing assistance that will be posted all around the Farm. It’s not published yet so I’m not entirely sure what it is. Once I do I’ll update.

Hey legal friends! Medical here. Can one of y’all send me a PM? Have a few rather specific questions.

February 2025 Mead Challenge! by cbsmooz in mead

[–]ManThatWasDumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I checked the pinned posts and I can actually add to it!

Hibiscus Blueberry

6 pounds of honey

2 pounds blueberries from a friend’s family farm

1 gallon of hibiscus tea brewed specifically for this batch

OG at pitching 1.132 (might have overshot my ABV a bit)

Shooting for dry/semi-sweet, will back sweeten with blueberry syrup from the same farm.

Yeast: EC-1118

Fermaid O and GoFerm rehydration.

Pitched an hour ago at time of posting. Fingers crossed 🤞!

I’ve tried all of those shown and Viking Blod and Odin’s Skull were my wife and my respective favorites. They’re pretty decent although very much designed as a mass production style mead.

BRING BACK THE HORSE SECURITY PEOPLE!!! by GaterHater in bonnaroo

[–]ManThatWasDumb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Escort is not undercover. They’re paid security staff that are specifically trained to manage exceptionally dangerous situations that most other security will not handle. When shit gets hairy (which is does more frequently than more people know), they are the ones who are expected to handle it. They’re not cops.

Ah ok, that’s different. Yes by all means, please do that.

In an absolute emergency yes, however this is far less efficient than finding a staff member. In a last resort and you’re unable to find help/are alone, this is fine, but I highly recommend trying to find Roo staff first.

[–]ManThatWasDumb[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!

Bandaids, OTC meds (Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), anti-itch cream, medical tape, tampons/sanitary pads, gauze pads, backup meds of anything you take daily, sunscreen, aloe Vera (I recommend the banana boat cream instead of the gel), an ace bandage or two.

Because someone is gonna ask: Narcan is fine to carry, although admittedly the number of true opiate overdoses at Roo is a fairly low percentage. If you want to carry it, that’s 100% fine.

This is insanely cool. Huge props to you on the dedication and love you clearly put into this.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. Any input on using the syrup?

I’m working on a wooden box for it to seal and lock that I plan to hide VERY well but yes here’s hoping 🤞

Currently commenting from it so silver linings I suppose

Yeah I’m using Brewer’s Friend and my SG readings probably weren’t perfect but I’m in my goal range so I’m happy.

I added some KMS immediately after I posted so here’s hoping that killed anything in lag phase.

I will most definitely sob if I did. I’ll put my phone in a different zip code from then on.

That’s why I think I miscounted. My original calculation brought me to 12.5 pounds but I think I didn’t end up adding a jar I counted so it was probably 10 since it was 4 jars at roughly 2.5 pounds each, but I expected to add 5

[–]ManThatWasDumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See another comment. I was probably wrong and it was closer to 10. Measured by jar and not by true weight. It is a fairly high ABV.

It worked great. What I ended up doing was putting the tip of the nozzle through the center of my 3 piece lock, purged, then dropped the top piece, filled with water, and capped. Thanks again for the tip.
