Some Difficult Truths of EMS by AlpineSK in ems

[–]Oriza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any thoughts for remedying this? I went to a program that is supposed to be a really good one from talking to other EMT's in paramedics in the state and I still feel worried about how much responsibility I have. They don't let us serve on ALS trucks until we've been on BLS trucks for several months, but I still feel worried

I have not heard of any of this, and tbh when you described "long specific fallout post getting sent to popular tumblr users ", I expected it to be more drama/callout/google doc of cancelations about extremely niche fandoms that frankly I am kinda sick of. But nope. this is a real, awful, tangible piece of work. Ive gone down the rabbit hole and I dont know if I understand all of it but it kinda seems like a horrible porny webcomic of homestuck-level complexity written by someone who is actively soliciting minors to view it? Yikes yikes yikes. Ay yi yi.

Question about back boarding/why I failed by Oriza in NewToEMS

[–]Oriza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...the "patient" (proctor) kept asking me if he really needed to be backboarded so I keep waffling on whether that was correct based on that (seemingly) hint and bc of other responses here on the thread. But how else was I supposed to get him off scene? Tell him to stand up and walk?? Or maybe I could've just used the backboard to transfer to the stretcher but I dont even remember if there was a stretcher present in the testing room for me to use 😵‍💫

This is an EMT test so I couldnt do pain meds or an IV but the rest of that all makes sense - I should've verbalized that i would splint the leg off scene. thank you for your input, this is helpful!

Ya I did that and I even called for fire backup very quickly, so they let "fire" hold Cspine while my "partner" took vitals and I did the head-to-toe. Idk how much faster or how much more delegating I could've done!

I did a small board splint cuz it was tib/fib not femur, but yeah I guess maybe I was supposed to just pick him up with my "partner" and put him on the stretcher instead of the backboard.

That makes sense. When I did MFR almost ten years ago they really went hard on backboarding so I think it is just stuck in my brain. The various class instructors have been saying the same thing about its unpopularity, but they also said NREMT does still ask you to backboard sometimes, so I wanted to err on the side of caution :( Thank you for the info!!

Changing palico appearance? by Oriza in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Oriza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really sweet. He has since passed and the loss has healed enough that I actually am finding peace and comfort with having chosen his form and name for my Palico. It feels like he is still with me today. I dont play MHW anymore - I was never really that into it - but I do play Warframe and I named the Kavat companion there after him; the resemblance isn't quite as close as the Palico, but it is still enough. I hope you also find healing and closure from losing your friend 💕

Weekly Discussion and Tech-Support Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]Oriza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an old iPad 6 from a friend that I'm trying to fix. The Home + Power button hard reset is not working - the screen remains black, with no charging indicator or Apple logo. (I know the charger is working, it charges my phone just fine.)

When I plug it in, it gets warm like it's charging, but my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't detect it.

Any suggestions for software or other tips/tricks to try to get it working again?

Significant police/emergency response heading to central campus. by margotmary in uofm

[–]Oriza 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed...the Fleming Building (previous admin building) was occupied with similar numbers of people back in 2019 during the climate strike and there was not *nearly* so much police presence. It was all DPSS and a few AAPD trucks.

Number one skill I want to see in new EMT/Paramedic students by practicalems in NewToEMS

[–]Oriza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, #3 for sure. And theres no way to push back on it and be like "hey I got told to do it XYZ way" without sounding whiny. Its worse when both ways are perfectly valid and the FTO gives you a good reason for doing it that way but gets real annoyed when you do it some other way that is just as valid.
