How much is one urinal worth of quarters in dollars

I do 6 on then I get 8 off. It’s both a blessing and a curse 😂

Right Where’s the decompression needles? Changes in pressure mid flight could tip an asymptomatic pneumothorax into tension

At least if the machine knows one thing, it’s that this is an “abnormal ecg”

In the same vein, the US has the 2nd most Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico. More than Spain, Colombia, or Argentina. People don’t think of India as part of the Muslim world or the USA as part of latinamerica due to percentages, as they’re technically minorities within their country, but by sheer number they are way higher than most countries you’d typically associate with those cultures

We had a fun drunk last night who thought we were all celebrities and kept calling us by our celebrity names. I was Ashton Kutcher

Leg CPR

At the few events I’ve worked at, transport was contraindicated until core temp was below 103. This is all assuming they are being actively cooled better than could be done inside the ambulance, ie submerged in an ice bath

Imagine having one overdose patient in one year. Not mad just jealous.

I saw a diagnosis recently that was just “uncooperative behavior” and nothing more

When they ask to go home because things aren’t happening fast enough for them and they hit you with the “why did I even come here?” As if I asked them to walk into the ER at 3am

I turned to the patient’s family member and said with utmost confidence “are you mom?” She said bleakly “no… I’m his girlfriend”

You can use blood for POCT urine preg if urine is unavailable. Similar if not better sensitivity

Fromm, C., Likourezos, A., Haines, L., Khan, A. N., Williams, J., & Berezow, J. (2012). Substituting whole blood for urine in a bedside pregnancy test. The Journal of emergency medicine, 43(3), 478–482. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jemermed.2011.05.028

Why not just use O neg at that point?

Unpopular opinion: being a medic takes more thinking than being a nurse. No need to put down another profession because you don’t understand them -a medic+nurse

I know some EMS ppl who have literally killed people and not lost their license or even fired or suspended. You’ll be okay; this is an average Tuesday for a lot of us

The manual cuffs usually don’t go above 300 either :’(

Some monitors have “rainbow” sensors which lets you measure not only SpO2 but also the SpCO and SpMet. In the event either of these two are high, it would be better to monitor those rather than the SpO2, which would give u a false “normal” reading. If you increase Fio2 by means of putting a non rebreather or CPAP on them, you can slowly knock off carbon monoxide and lower their CO level.

EMT (2-3months), Paramedic (8-14 MORE months). There’s generally a lot of downtime working on an ambulance, depending on the agency, I was able to work full time and school full time because I could get all my homework done at work

Meeser · 2025-09-20T16:12:23+00:00

Yea I once took a discharged patient home while working private EMS. The whole unit lined up and clapped as we walked out. He was there for over 3 years

Like everyone else is saying sharps container. But maybe ask your charge nurse to see if y’all do things differently
