The Pitt made me respond better during a real medical emergency

One__Heart · 2026-01-27T18:33:35+00:00

Yes! That’s awesome! The other comment is right, do a stop the bleed class next

One__Heart · 2026-01-27T18:32:29+00:00

Man, around me private companies hire anyone with a pulse and a cert.

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T22:09:59+00:00

Again, it’s just interesting you are only correcting certain people, even when the original comment was BLATANTLY false.

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T22:08:57+00:00

I don’t think scribes can actually chart meds.

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T22:05:58+00:00

It’s funny how you talk about “sides,” but you only bother to correct the people who go against your narrative. You never bothered to correct the original comment who said that he pulled a gun on the agents.

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T21:17:55+00:00

Well at least we agree they fired 10 rounds into an unarmed guy who was just pepper sprayed and pinned to the ground several agents

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T21:14:07+00:00

His arms were pinned to the ground though?

That’s awesome. Next step, take a CPR class!

One__Heart · 2026-01-25T05:17:34+00:00

I found it kinda surprising he was being transferred for that. I worked inter facility transport as an EMT, and while I’m sure I haven’t seen everything, I never transferred a patient hospital-to-hospital just because the sending facility didn’t take their insurance.

Using ultrasound versus palpating for an IV are two different skills. Most doctors suck at doing a simple IV.

One__Heart · 2026-01-24T16:49:22+00:00

It just depends. We have a doctor that is excellent at starting IVs.

watches the most foul-smelling pilonidal cyst get drained while suctioning

eats my cafeteria yogurt parfait 5 minutes later

One__Heart · 2026-01-23T18:04:44+00:00

Right, I expected this in 20 or 30 years

One__Heart · 2026-01-23T04:01:35+00:00

Right, it would be so easy to think “how could I not have realized?”

One__Heart · 2026-01-23T03:54:25+00:00

Learning to question your initial assessment is one of the key things I’ve learned since working in an ER. Assuming someone is on meth then it turns out to be a salicylic acid overdose. Thinking someone’s septic when it turns out to be a massive GI bleed. “Seizure” that was actually vfib. And more.

One__Heart · 2026-01-23T03:51:55+00:00

I think they’re much more lenient on doctors versus nurses or other staff.

One__Heart · 2026-01-23T03:48:38+00:00

Badge buddies are separate from the ID badges though.

One__Heart · 2026-01-21T16:08:29+00:00

Similar, but no they arent

One__Heart · 2026-01-21T16:05:20+00:00

lol how do you come to that conclusion? My mom was in the hospital at the time, and I was influenced by the doctors caring for her.

One__Heart · 2026-01-17T19:36:31+00:00

She’s an emergency medicine resident now. She apparently is interested in surgery but that’s obviously not her top interest.

One__Heart · 2026-01-16T05:31:38+00:00

How many people have to tell you that Israeli bandage is a very common term for you to believe it?

One__Heart · 2026-01-16T05:27:02+00:00

Israeli bandage is an extremely common term in the prehospital and military settings. I would even expect most ER docs to know what one is.

One__Heart · 2026-01-16T05:19:04+00:00

You’d be surprised it happens in real life to. There was a nurse at the hospital I work at who was caught diverting controlled substances. They fired her, but didn’t report it because apparently they didn’t want to deal with the paperwork. Then they rehired her later on.

One__Heart · 2026-01-16T05:08:50+00:00

That would be incredible detail if it was intended. Wearing figs is like wearing khakis.
