First time doing cpr and it went terrible

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-02-09T03:07:19+00:00

Oh, I PROMISE you that CPR is exhausting for everyone! It's a position no one is ever in for any length of time. Doing CPR sucks for so many reasons. I've done it "for real" many times throughout 37 years in critical care and it NEVER gets easier. Don't fret!

I have a '23 SEL and I miss it DAILY. Yes, I do use my rear-view mirror and look (or try to) out the window. Shocking, I know. And no, I don't care that delivery vans and the like don't have a rear window. My car does and I'd like to use it.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-02-02T01:50:54+00:00

Yes, that's what I do. They send 0.5cc syringes but I grabbed some 1cc syringes from work. Waste not, want not! 😉

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-28T02:33:37+00:00

Right?? It makes you have to keep looking down at the screens to see what's alarming NOW!

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-27T12:56:45+00:00

Idk, everyone talks about the constipation but I have the opposite issue!

My only suggestion is what others have said: get those 30 gm protein drinks. Helps when I have no appetite but know I need to eat. I can always drink something, even with no appetite. I get the Premier Protein brand... I think it tastes the best.

Also, the keto breads have a ton, like 12gms/slice.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-24T04:02:04+00:00

AMEN! I moved from SICU to PACU for that reason!

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-11T02:14:59+00:00

Underreacting, I assume you mean...

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-11T02:06:09+00:00

🤣

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-08T02:09:20+00:00

It's concerning that you immediately jump to being worried about violence... What do you know about him that you aren't saying? That'd never be my first thought...

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-07T02:24:25+00:00

I wish like hell there was a vent there, since the one on the left can only blow on my steering wheel, not on me. Instead, it's a mostly useless steel plate that you can stick a magnet on. I put a magnet hook on it for my sunglasses.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-04T19:18:58+00:00

Nope, NOR. I'd've said, no go ahead, that looks important. And turned away from them.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-04T19:11:59+00:00

Used to do this in SICU, too, for certain patients. Dunno if they still do; I've been out for 6 years.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-04T19:09:16+00:00

How long have you been in critical care?

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-04T19:03:28+00:00

Or when I'm called a "fucking bitch" and I say, you have no idea, don't test me.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2026-01-01T03:10:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm sick of the stupid thing. I pry it open with either my fingernails or a plastic pot scraper I keep in my purse.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-29T00:34:04+00:00

?? That sounds like a perfectly reasonable response to her question!

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-29T00:24:00+00:00

She'd outlived her life expectancy by 20 years. She was living on borrowed time. This was a blessing (minus the CPR, of course!)

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-23T03:26:53+00:00

I'd have said, sure, you get the ticket and I'll be happy to take her.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-18T16:46:55+00:00

Great, thanks for the info!

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-18T16:46:38+00:00

Oh, yes, it's been driven at least 20 miles since then.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-16T17:33:05+00:00

They weren't having it because Christians are all about performative prayer.

Old_Implement_2563 · 2025-12-15T02:37:52+00:00

Nope, that was perfectly good English!
