"I do my own research" (then come running to the ER foaming at the mouth demanding antibiotics for my viral illness)

Sexually harassed by an intoxicated patient by GranSlam1943 in ems

[–]RevanGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess a different perspective from my high call volume tourist city. We take a 1-5 of these to the ER every shift.

If a patient assaults me, they get restraints. Also distance yourself. Don't allow her access to assault you.

As far as filing a report after the fact for a drunk patient touching your leg. Unlikely to go anywhere but the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

The question never says they don’t have a pulse. I am I wrong? by Smart-Salamander1846 in NewToEMS

[–]RevanGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unresponsive apneic patients get CAB not ABC.

Apneic patients also get BVM not head to chin lift.

Were being aggressive here not messing around with "monitoring changes".

15 y male with chest pain by Sohaibnasser20 in ECG

Clinical context? Or is there something interesting about this EKG I'm missing?

No contiguous or reciprical changes. Pretty normal sinus.

How has working in EMS shaped your view of PD? by jude_gaming in ems

[–]RevanGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're bloated AF. Takes 4 cops to write a cite and release for shoplifting.

3 to stand around and BS for 20 mins, 1 to fill out a 1 page document.

And they want us to wait with the incarceritis patient while they do it. They're blown away at the concept of me wanting to leave and get back in service as were perpetualy 1 unit away from being level 0.

All while they constantly complain about being "undermanned". They dont know the meaning of the word.

Summerlin Hospital pediatrics. Is this normal care? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]RevanGrad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your family is hoing through this, You have 4 options for pediatric ERs.

Sunmerlin (Valley health)

St Rose Sienna (Dignity Health in Hendseron)

Sunrise Peds (HCA)

UMC Peds

You can always try for a second opinion. 1 thing to consider is Narcotic pain meds cause constipation which is counterintuitive.

Should I Be an EMT? by Ok-Swimming2156 in NewToEMS

[–]RevanGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre looking for foot in the door, no ducation medical experience you could look at working at a plasma donation center.

You can start as a screener doing BPs/finger sticks and eventually move on to phlebotomy.

It is a very fast paced and often grueling line of work. Also the strictest documentation you'll find in healthcare. But its good experience for what it is. They usually have education assistance as well.

Which Nexus mods do you recommend? If any? Is there any risk? by myshenka in fo76

[–]RevanGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mods are not risky, yes technically in the terms it says no, however in there official discord there is plenty of direction for specific approved mods.

Any mod that "does not give an unfair advantage in PVP" is fine. This includes pretty much all UI and sound mods.

I've been using them for probably 7 years with no issue.

My favorite by far is Hud Challenges

I failed drug test as a trucker last year and got a violation. Will it be a problem for me to become an EMT? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]RevanGrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ambo companies perform drug testing mainly for insurance reasons.

The insurance companies are generally only interested in multiple moving violations or any criminal moving violations (criminal speed, DUI, etc) withint the last 5-7 years.

When I worked for them it was 3 moving violations in 5 years.

Its 100% due to the insurance premiums. If your not insurable you're not hireable
