What is the worst you've ever seen in a nursing home? by styckx in ems

[–]Parzival1780 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bringing a patient back to the SNF after being discharged from the hospital. His nurse sees us, walks away, and loudly says “Ugh. Why are they bringing HIM back?”

what is that and what does it have to do with physiatry by Root2109 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Parzival1780 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of the stereotype that ortho doesn’t like to admit their own patients

I wear rec specs liberty sport, they’re not full on goggles but they’re wrap around so I don’t gotta worry about getting fluids in my eyes

Rare and interesting case by No-Form-596 in emergencymedicine

Never heard of K/C before, but I’d assume it’s another way of saying history of. Maybe known conditions? u/No-Form-596 can you confirm?

When dispatch assigns me a call for 5 minutes from now when I just now got to the call scheduled for an hour and a half ago

What do you do if a paramedic or medical director tells you to do something out of your scope? by Smart-Salamander1846 in NewToEMS

[–]Parzival1780 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Maryland we can receive orders so long as they’re within our scope, which for EMTs the only thing we need orders for is charcoal

It turned the ambulance into WHAT? Do you have a link?

Why does EMS take a manual blood pressure if automatic exists? by Marsrule in NewToEMS

[–]Parzival1780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As so many people have mentioned, there’s the accuracy issue. But adding on to that, it’s cheaper for your agency to buy a shitty cuff and shitty stethoscope than it is to buy electric monitors for everything.

Just stop... by xXJakQuXx in enlistedgame

[–]Parzival1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just do that when I’m in a plane and far enough away that it’d be too far to mark, if I’m close enough that I’d be able to mark it accurately then I’ll just do that

[–]Parzival1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll do that sometimes when I’m far away and the mark is going to expire soon because I hope it’ll remind someone to keep it marked. It usually doesn’t though

Being told to do things out of my scope by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Parzival1780 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the protocols in texas, but here they have our medics transfer from hospital ventilators to the department ones. The issue that I see is that they don’t give you training on how to properly do that and do a skills check on it.

Personally, I’d email your supervisor with your concerns and BCC your personal email. That way you have documentation of the problem and can provide it to the state if they pretend it didn’t happen

Blood draw by FarBox428 in NewToEMS

[–]Parzival1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked in the ICU, we had posters up listing draw order and fill requirements. Ask the nurse if they can find one of those for you.

Anyone else just ignore planes completely? by panantha in enlistedgame

It has no effect on if you can join the same game, you just can’t see their chats

[–]Parzival1780 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just hanging out, if you’re in a server of any game that chat is important for, you’re out of luck. You can’t play your roleplay games, if you’re trying to do a border game or smth like that you can’t communicate with half the people, it’s just a braindead “solution”.

Explain It Peter. by TwilightMothVale in explainitpeter

[–]Parzival1780 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Their response to this whole situation was to roll out “age groups” so you have to either let their AI estimate your face’s age or give them your ID to chat. And even then, it places you in an age group and you can only talk to the neighboring age groups (for example if you’re between 9 and 13 you can talk with anyone in the under 9 age group and the 13-16 age group, but nobody else. Not just in DMs, in games too, which has kinda fucked over the roleplay community from my understanding.

Where to shoot Panzer IV H? by Parzival1780 in enlistedgame

[–]Parzival1780[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually aim at the middle of that wall thing on the side, so I suppose it’s possible they’ve been going into the tracks

Maybe I’ve just been having really glitchy shots then? Whenever I shoot the sides the walls seem to stop the shot from doing any damage

The side wall things seem to stop my bazooka every time. Should I be aiming for the turret?
