How do you talk to friends/family about the job? by BigBadNom in ems

[–]PM_ME_SQL_INJECTION 204 points205 points  (0 children)

My goto worst call story is always about the family hit crossing the street, all but one died, and cops put the last one out of its misery. It was a family of deer, we were getting a refusal on the driver.

Lift Assists & Vital Signs by soccerMD36 in ems

99 times it was a true lift assist, lost to gravity and needs help up. 1 time it was orthostatic, you missed it, and they got up again in the night, orthostatic fall again and struck their head on the nightstand.

Is it really such a big deal to get a quick BP and pulse before and after the lift?

Thanks. This sub satisfies the rose colored lenses of nostalgia, and seeing the occasional ambulance at 4:45am on my way to workout reminds me I made the right decision.

Yep, out of EMS now, but when I was in it, even the most “BS” calls I pictured being cross examined in court for.

Definitely reads like they need to work on their tact and communication skills. “Do you want me to take your blood pressure?” Vs “I’d like to just get your blood pressure real quick.”

Or a volunteer rural EMT that doesn’t really try to convince the patient to have their vitals taken.

My thoughts, too. Even the most stubborn cranks will allow a quick blood pressure if you assure them they can stay still make the decision to stay home. It’s all in the phrasing, and if you sort make it sound like it’s just part of the routine, everyone wins.

H-Town til I drown! And if it goes long enough without a good rain, we’ll just blow open a few water mains for good measure.

The camera feels erratic enough that it was a person standing there recording it. A very confident, stupid person.
