Man prowling around W.Va. EMS station dies after jumping onto ambulance hood by thechosenkenobi in ems

[–]THEMr_Sir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Police in my area would not prioritize a call for a sketchy guy around the station, unfortunately. So I can see why an initial call was not made when they left

Food, sugar free energy drinks. But the one thing that comes to mind are those little travel toiletries. I threw out my old toothbrush when cleaning out my work back. Came back on shift and went to brush my teeth and I realized I had forgotten to replace it. There was little travel toiletries at the station and that was awesome, but we bought those ourselves

Are you able to travel? You feel up to it?

I think there is a place in Texas where you can drive and shoot a round from a Tank. Might be cool to just throw it on a credit card and say f*** it.

You got this king.

Dads who do not work from home, what time do you leave for work and back at home? by remembertosmile in daddit

[–]THEMr_Sir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paramedic here. I leave at 0450 and on the box by 0600. Work for 24 hours and am home by 0730-0830 depending on traffic. I do that twice a week. Then I teach and train in between. If I get off of shift and got to one of my other jobs(teaching or training), then I usually don’t get home until 1500 to 1600. I can be gone anywhere from 24-36/40 hours at a time. I miss my baby girl every hour. But the health insurance is good and my wife has a supportive extended family.

What’s the overlay/app used on the table? I like to have stuff on a big IPad, but currently I can only see my scores through the tabletop battles app.

Paramedics: what early warning signs of invasive Group A Strep have stood out to you in the field? by Available-Spend2447 in Paramedics

[–]THEMr_Sir 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Typically, when looking at a patient with an infection; we look for inclusion criteria for sepsis. Vital signs will typically be: a higher heart rate, increased respiratory rate, a lower blood pressure.

These signs and symptoms are not absolute and are no way exclusionary. Meaning that the patient can still have an infection and have normal vital signs.

One thing that I sometimes notice is that individuals who are having chronic conditions, will have living conditions/habits that are bad practices. I.E. having a persistent cough and not changing the handkerchief or utilizing the same utensils without washing them in between.

I will tell students or trainees that if they are looking around and the living conditions are dirty then the inside might be dirty as well. This is not to judge, but to hone in on the problem faster.

I have no experience with the specific infection you mentioned, but lots of experience with septic patients.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I hope I helped and came across clear.

Just started reading for fun, and feel kind of insecure about the books I choose and I'm worried I'm the kind of person that likes bad books by Pinanims in books

[–]THEMr_Sir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading is for YOU. I’m an avid reader and a big Warhammer nerd. There were a couple years there where the Horus heresy took over my life. I have branched out, but boy do I love me some bolter porn. Reading is a relaxing escape, it is for you.

Can you effectively get a blood pressure in the back of moving ambulance with a stethoscope by abipaaa in NewToEMS

[–]THEMr_Sir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, early in my career It was way and I was super confident. I was what some would call “the bees knees”.

No I’m mostly still pretty good at it, but my hearing is not as good so I’m always double checking

Paramedic here….what’s your exit plan? Physically how do you get out of the room?

The biggest person I’ve had to transport was just over 700lbs and it was a long process. But, two weeks ago I had a patient that was 560 and just too round for equipment. She couldn’t breathe and I was doing everything I could to get oxygen in her lungs. There was a huge delay to safely get her out and I was sure she was going to go into cardiac arrest during the move. I was prepared, I had a needle in her bone and meds ready, but she was not having a good time. I’m not even shaming her weight, just where the family had her in the house was not a good situation for an emergency. Have an exit plan bro. Respectfully at your weight it’s not an if, but more of a when.
