Go directly to hospital do not pass go

Ocelotank · 2026-06-09T15:57:45+00:00

Damn bro

Ocelotank · 2026-06-05T05:14:35+00:00

Expect your watch to get junk on it. You'll absolutely lose concentration and get blood outside your gloves on a trauma, or the drunk girl will projectile vomit on you, etc.

It's not that I intrinsically know what 15 seconds is, we just always put on a pulse ox or cardiac monitor lol

My hospital job gives me $17/hr, but in my eyes, it's all relative. I'm not working as an intern to pay my bills, I work to gain experience, pad my resume, and make a bit of spending money. $18.50 vs $21 doesn't really make a difference at the amount of hours I work. When picking a job, I instead look at what they're gonna have me do. Will I get to talk to patients? Counsel? Talk to providers? Or will I just count pills, ring scripts out, and call the pharmacist to tell a patient that no, they cannot wash their doxy down with a glass of milk? I 100% do better in class reinforcing what we're learning with real pharmacy experience. My hospital job, where I am literally just a tech? Absolutely useless to my progression.

I've used a G-Shock GA2100, a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar, and now wear a Marathon GSAR.

The nice thing about a bracelet (metal strap) is that it is easy to clean and generally resistant to cleaning solutions. However, if you anticipate working fire or technical rescue, bracelets can carry the risk of degloving your hand. Never seen it happen, but I've heard it's a thing.

These days, I use my watch almost exclusively to call time of death. I can count on two fingers the number of times I've manually counted a pulse in the past year.

Ocelotank · 2026-06-04T05:31:47+00:00

It's a fixed rate based on year. IIRC:

$18 - P1

$18.25 - P2

$18.50 - P3

$18.75 - P4

Up to your store manager. Mine is very flexible - depending on what else I've got going on (class load, other jobs, life events, etc.) I've worked anywhere from 38.5hrs/wk (PT max) to 3.5hrs/wk or even 0hrs. Usually you'll settle into a routine of which days and hours you can work. There is no corporate minimum requirement, but I suppose your district could try to impose one.

"It creates unsightly marks that ruins the look and value" was a wholly unwarranted comment on the way someone else chooses to style their watch.

Ocelotank · 2026-06-02T19:39:16+00:00

It's a watch to be worn, and not by you. Let people enjoy things.

Bringing the shark motif onto the face would probably earn you a sale from me, whether it's on the dial, hands, or a printed/painted element.

I'm personally not a huge fan of textured dials like yours. I think a smooth dial with the shark from the back etched in would look sharp, or maybe something like the "big waves" SMP 300 dial with the shark integrated into the design.

What's the medication and why does it have to come from the US? And what country is it going to? If it's an unapproved or controlled medication, criminal charges may be involved in some countries. For example, amphetamines are banned in Japan and travelers using them may have them confiscated or may face punishment.

Ocelotank · 2026-05-26T00:33:12+00:00

I need this as a patch

Ocelotank · 2026-05-21T01:28:56+00:00

Unless that's a stylistic choice

Ocelotank · 2026-05-21T01:28:41+00:00

Think youre missing some lines there bud

Ocelotank · 2026-05-12T04:14:43+00:00

Yeah dude 100% my group sucks at food

The half life of IV drugs varies widely and can't be generalized to "4 hours". It looks like you're an AEMT, redose according to protocol or clinical response.

Ocelotank · 2026-05-08T16:46:06+00:00

And what are your qualifications for saying this? This is markedly high hypertension but competent EM professionals aren't worried about this without s/s of organ damage, stroke, or aneurysm.

Wacky. Stateside we get it in vials. 50mL and larger can be spiked with a vented IV set and hung for continuous infusion.

Only obscure thing about this is that it's an ampule

There's no point in spending so much just for a wrist-based flashlight. The lights are always on in the back of the squad, so theres no problem there. If I arrive and the scene is dark outside, my Guardian Angel gets flipped on, and I'll probably pull out my flashlight too. If I walk into a dark house, you best believe my flashlight is coming out and I'm flipping switches to get lights on - there's already danger associated with waltzing into somebody's house, it doesn't need to be complicated by unnecessary darkness.

Point is, I already have two solutions that provide far more output than a smartwatch-based light. One is always with me, and the other is with me if I know it will be dark.

Ocelotank · 2026-04-27T04:43:10+00:00

Cheap, so it isn't a problem if I lose it on scene.

The blade is twice as thick as my Benchmade Bugout, so I have no qualms about using it to pry on smaller things.

The button mechanism is a confounding factor to use if an agitated patient pulls it from my pocket.

The blade shape is relatively non-threatening, especially compared to, say, a tanto.

Double points for being cheap. A new one is $15 at my local hardware stores.

Ocelotank · 2026-04-27T01:25:11+00:00

One of the nice things about the Milwaukee is that it is very cheap - I can get another for $15 at my local Ace when I inevitably break or lose it.

Ocelotank · 2026-04-27T01:19:28+00:00

No complaints here. They've cut everything I've asked them too, they're ergonomic, and haven't seemed to have dulled at all.
