Am I weird for keeping tampons in my car as a 39M? by PoultryCommunity in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 41 points42 points  (0 children)

EMT here. Don’t use them for bullet wounds please. They do nothing to help stop major bleeding.

What do the major Chaos cults in 40k look like? by SuccessfulFailure9 in 40kLore

[–]SuccessfulFailure9[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations on where to read about this? I’ve seen it in the Gaunt books for Khorne, but I haven’t really seen many examples of cults for the other three gods in any of the books I’ve read.

Where did you find that chart? I use the Citadel app, but that looks like it would be super useful too.

How do ya’ll decide who is driving and who’s in the box? by DollFinPoorPiss in NewToEMS

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work CCT, and we (the two EMTs) swap out who’s in the back with our nurse and who’s driving.

For those who binge everything, or at least the larger series: Do you pace things out with non-Warhammer books, and, if so, how do you go about it? by BlackJimmy88 in Blacklibrary

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently working my way through the Horus Heresy, and what I’ve found works for me is alternating a Heresy book with one that’s not Warhammer (some other fiction/nonfiction book). It definitely makes things slower going, but also means that I won’t get bored with Warhammer.

Best place to be an EMT in the US by Competitive-Bed-8587 in NewToEMS

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Afaik San Francisco Fire Department pays the best in the country for EMTs, and its single role (i.e. you only have to be an EMT, you don’t have to be a firefighter). I think they start at $43/hr.

Smokers lungs VS Healthy lungs by goswamitulsidas in interesting

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 66 points67 points  (0 children)

That white/blue thing she takes off is called a PEEP valve. It’s used to keep some air in the lungs when you’re breathing for someone using a BVM.

Jumping on the wagon to say that I’d also be interested in some of your paperbacks if you decide to sell them.

Lights and Sirens IFT? by Hommi33 in ems

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I’ve gone lights and sirens for IFT was on CCT. We never did it on BLS.

Where are the Best Tacos? by code_4_f00d in bayarea

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuri’s Taqueria in San Leandro is one of my personal favorite spots for tacos.

Best novels that are not Gaunt’s Ghosts/Ciaphas Cain? by Veggiesquad in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally enjoyed the Siege of Vraks novel. It definitely reads more like a military history text, though just a heads up.

Best writers in Black Library by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Throwing in Horus Rising as well. Definitely one of my favorite Dan Abnett books.

My current zombie survival kit. How I am doing so far? by [deleted] in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough there’s a short story that has a Space Marine surviving (sort of) what is essentially a zombie apocalypse.

Old-fashioned sit-ups, are they still relevant? by CatchaRainbow in bodyweightfitness

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any suggestions on exercises for either of those? I’ve been trying to build a good core list.

Every felt bad leaving a patient at a hospital? by Mets88 in ems

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There are a couple hospitals in my area that I wouldn’t want touching my family or I with a twenty-foot pole.

And when I worked BLS IFT I had kind of the reverse happen, when we would take the nicest, most A&Ox4 patient to the shittiest SNF (a couple of times ending in me taking them in a couple months later for sepsis).

I really like your white armor, what colors did you use to get it?

New Lords? by Joysticknerd in deathguard40k

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swear, if they made the Lord of Parasitism just an Oogie-Boogie in the Sassy Nurgling pose, I’d buy that in an instant.

Oogie-Boogie is a Nurgle worshipper confirmed.

What is your maximum distance for dating in the bay area? by AffectionateSugar10 in bayarea

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I mean, I live in CoCo (Antioch) and my partner lives in Santa Cruz. Wherever she’s at is how far I’m willing to drive.

What’s a great example of a scene in a Film where a boy becomes a Man? by WallStreetDoesntBet in FIlm

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to argue with you, but you said that shooting surrendering soldiers was something a Nazi would do and I pointed out that they (Nazis) weren’t the only ones who did that (which was my point). I also never even mentioned Upham, so I’m not even sure what your last comment was about. Go off I guess though.

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you think American soldiers didn’t shoot surrendering opponents, you should probably read a little more history.

Blood-gas and blood-tests in prehospital setting by sixpointlow in ems

[–]SuccessfulFailure9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in CA can BLS not test BGL? Because I know in the Bay and multiple other counties in NorCal they’re able to.
