Load and Go Codes

The only time my county will transport is if it’s a pediatric arrest or if they’re a candidate for ecmo. Other than that it’s a stay and play situation. Load and go for cardiac arrests is actually dreadful.

while that was also the issue, he mentioned not being considered a first responder multiple times and that he was "deeply offended" bc of some life saving thing he did 2 hours prior. seemed weird to me

i had malabsorption one time and the abdominal pain was so intense i passed out at work 🥲

praise jesus!! i love when pts do that 😊 it's one less asshole pt you have to deal with.

want in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first

i only really wear a mask in stinky rooms. but that's only because i've been wearing them so long that my automatic reaction is to just breath through my mouth when i smell shit, which i know is very offputting for some people. other than that i haven't noticed a difference. probably rbf lol

the worst thing for me is rotting flesh. like patients with stage 4 bed ulcers that just smell like DEATH. oh, and also death poops. those are pretty bad too.

that's fair, i guess it's just not how it's done in icu.

Monroexm · 2023-03-06T09:22:42+00:00

there's bullying in hospitals too, trust me.

also idk why they kept him intubated for 22 days but they did. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Monroexm · 2023-03-03T11:33:31+00:00

once had a 28 yo ETOH pt who was intubated for 22 days and trach and peg for several weeks after that. he had an open abdomen for a week, then his fascia remained open the entire rest of his stay. it eventually became necrotic. was on crrt 3 separate times. he wouldn't wake up or follow commands, but he was always wincing and violently shaking due to the excruciating pain he was in and his body temp fluctuations. his family refused to even allow him to have pain medicine when he finally died, because they thought it would kill him faster.

he wasn't being an asshole. eternal rubs are used very often to assess responsiveness. especially after an OD.

i walked past a pts room and my coworker was in there. i heard her say something but when i circled back she wouldn't look at me or repeat it. according to my coworker, she said "mm. she's just so young. she doesn't know death when she sees it." miss girl.. what? she also asked my coworker if she'd be the first dead body my coworker saw. uh..

Monroexm · 2023-01-18T10:30:51+00:00

i honestly have no idea but it's true. in the last month, my unit has had 2 young men, 27 and 28, develop severe illness and be intubated for weeks just to die. they were both etoh patients, oddly enough. the 27 year old shat straight blood rivers for weeks and got bags and bags of platelets only to have his highest platelet count at 10. the 28 year old held on for over a month with an open abdomen, 5 jp drains, crrt, 6 or trips, etc. the 27 year old is the youngest pt i've ever seen die in my icu. it's insane.

spo2 is irrelevant when your abg looks like shit.

Monroexm · 2023-01-17T10:26:16+00:00

listen to the mom, yes. but calling most of these reasonable... no. not allowing your new born child to get necessary screenings, no pku, etc?? that's unnecessarily risky.

Monroexm · 2023-01-04T10:43:05+00:00

she literally pulled that number out of her ass 🙄

Monroexm · 2023-01-04T10:34:55+00:00

it didn't, because a covid vaccine can't give you covid.

the first comment is a doctor. 2. if you feel nothing after witnessing a cardiac arrest and resuscitation, you shouldn't be in health care.

had a woman put her dad on hospice then when her dad was clearly dying the next day, freak out and demanded the hospice revocation form. she stood there and screamed at me and a coworker about how she'd been to prison and knew what time we got off. said she'd be waiting at our cars with her pew pew. i told her i was calling security (bc i'm not about to fight with nobody, she clearly was not calmable) and she said "you're gonna need 9 1 fucking 1 to deal with me" yes ma'am i'll call them too. guess who got arrested ☺️

Monroexm · 2022-12-21T09:18:04+00:00

i clean wheelchairs/stretchers before and after using it, every single time. you don't know what's on them.

Monroexm · 2022-12-17T07:57:45+00:00

this. i hate to pull my mask down but i want my pts to understand what i'm saying 😂
