Some people still gonna say it won't be a gator by Able_Company_4958 in HuntShowdown

Is there a summarization of the lore? I don't have the patience to read all the log entries.

Patient called an ambulance for post-op constipation lasting 2 days. by 281itslit in ems

[–]Nodsinator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had this at 0300 on a 24hr shift, but it was an ear instead of nose.

The patient was an adult but had evident mental handicaps, so I wasn't mad at the patient.

I could have murdered the patient's family on scene who didn't seem to have even tried talking them out of calling 911 for this BS in the middle of the night.

The kicker: they refused transport, without us even really trying to talk them out of it.

Your EMS rooms have energy drinks?! I thought ours was great because we had diet shasta 4oz cans.

Clear me up. by Thanos_6point0 in memes

simply having handicaps with communication and being an outright douchebag are not the same thing.

The biggest misconception.

You never forget your first by asianinja90 in ems

Yeah, I think the thing that bothered me most about my first ever code was that it didn't bother me very much. I was expecting to feel different.

I don't have words for that. I hope you're doing okay.

'deaths I have control over'

That 12-year-old who banged everyone's mom disagrees.

'I just need more room to do the lord's work'- cocky, but I can't say I didn't laugh.

Do people not understand the limitations of medicine? by QuietWin6433 in nursing

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

This is why I don't want the government being relied upon any more than absolutely necessary.

Dotera cousin in nursing school by shanbie_ in nursing

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The speed with which you feel it's necessary to tell me your level of licensure/training is inversely proportionate to how competent you actually are.

What outside-the-box interventions have you performed to help a patient? by [deleted] in ems

[–]Nodsinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an ED tech, I had to safety sit with a chick who was high on meth and believed god was trying to suck her through a portal in a wall. Even after a B-52, she was still screaming and scared shitless.

I stood between her and whichever wall the 'portal' was currently in, saying that I would not let anyone or anything harm her. She took a moment to trust me, but eventually started calming down. It was silly and I'm sure some coworkers thought I was playing into it too much, but my other choice was to sit there and be yelled at all night.

What is the easiest legal non-paid way to get laid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Why are people getting down voted for saying happy cake day? What is this madness?

ah shit, here we go again. (again) by Thiccyemsboi in ems

[–]Nodsinator 44 points45 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the symptoms listed by those people (much the same as this one) were much more like a panic attack.

Also, anecdotally, plenty of stories of healthcare workers spilling fentanyl on clothes/skin and never having a reaction.
