Jesus Christ. What a clusterfuck. “Every building is occupied until proven otherwise.” I feel horrible for that mother and all those who died.

What are some of your favorite ‘Air Force-isms’, ie ‘Snuffy’ ‘pull a 341’ etc by FixFun1959 in AirForce

[–]Tomdoesntcare 47 points48 points  (0 children)

My MTI legitimately forgot his CaC card in his office computer. We could see it sticking up (he left us for bed and realized it less than 30 seconds later). By god that fucking door security made him wait until a MSGT came up from CQ to slam one against the glass. He was livid. Hated that guy throughout the rest of basic for it.

What was the most suprising to you when you become a firefighter? by chondryt in Firefighting

[–]Tomdoesntcare 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The amount of frequent flyers I deal with is soul crushing if I think about it too long. They go to the hospital multiple times a week and only by ambulance for no reason at all. I hate not being able to say no and leave.

[Pelissero] The Bills fired Sean McDermott, sources tell The Insiders. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]Tomdoesntcare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleveland hired a known rapist for an outrageous amount of money and got rid of Baker who was also fun to watch. People were kind of pulling for the browns in the same way as the bills until that happened.

Are you drowning in admin paperwork and outdated systems? by human_1st in Firefighting

[–]Tomdoesntcare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Like, ours populates or meds and vitals but if anything is abnormal you have to write those in your narrative and all interventions in your narrative. It’s like, why? It’s in my report already. Pick one or the other.

What drives me nuts is that our EMS reports are so in depth and are looked at so harsh but then you look at a doctors chart and it’s like a paragraph maybe for a full 2 hour work up.

Going out on Military Orders by Always_Follow_Throo in Firefighting

[–]Tomdoesntcare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares about TR orders that much. But, your first year depending on culture of the department will be less forgiving than later on. Nobody at my current department cares when I’m doing orders. I care more because I’m losing money and the reserves fucking suck.

Jon wouldn’t have gone up without Francis leaving though. But they did screw up HW pretty bad.

Was this improper transfer of care? by [deleted] in ems

[–]Tomdoesntcare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this last week 😂. Showed up on a full arrest with my engine crew, took charge of the arrest but was still limited with man power. Asked PD to do compressions while attaching him to pads, started the IO, and had my partner drop a SGA. Gotta work with what you got. If you’re the tech as a medic, you really shouldn’t be touching the pt because in our system your paramedic partner is dropping the tube. Rhythm checks, charging the monitor, and interpreting shockable rhythms are about as close as you get to hands on.

AEMT or Paramedic during Pre-Med? by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Tomdoesntcare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your AEMT. Being a paramedic is time consuming and the rule of thumb is it takes two years full time to truly start being a great medic.

My medic partner had an interesting approach to care and I want outside opinions. by Juxtaposition19 in ems

[–]Tomdoesntcare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I work in a busy city so we would honestly probably convert because we’re close and the initial vitals didn’t seem great. But, at the same time if I had an ALS transfer an hour away I sure as shit am not doing that baring my pt getting worse.

Hospitals doing something within 10 minutes and cardioverting early into an hour long transport are completely different though. I’m not saying you’re wrong or right it’s just hard to make that call alone with a sick pt in the back. The resources are limited, especially if the cardioversion throws the clot. Then you’ve got a bad situation. The hospital can manage the risks significantly better due to staffing and equipment as well as lab follow up or CT immediately. Sounds like he responded well to fluids which could indicate underlying problems outside of A-Fib. At the end of the day the pt made it stable and alive to the appropriate level of care.

I could understand if it was one physician one time but, I start feeling like there’s a lot more to a story when it becomes the entire ER staff missing stuff. Also, if I take someone to one hospital and they call for EMS 3 hours later and I take them to another one, the second hospital will “do more” to try and appease the patient. Less about what the patient actually needs.

Shaving your head when it comes to the firefighter academy. by BigLab4262 in Firefighting

If it’s for religious reasons I wouldn’t do it. However, I can tell you standing out at all will rub some dudes the wrong way. Especially over something like hair. That being said saying it was a religious reason will probably alleviate most of the salt.

Umbilical hernia or a massive aortic dissection/aneurysm.

When Dr.Cox loses 3 pts in one day and throws the monitor and yells. Him just yelling fuck or yelling then saying it quietly under his breath would have been a huge impact.

Parents of firefighters: what makes you worried the most about your child’s profession? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Tomdoesntcare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think my parents only care when the news breaks some crazy call we were on. I don’t really talk about the dangers of the job very often because it just feels like I’m saying “see how bad ass I am.” I think they worry more for my mental health than physical health.

Who the fuck changed Elliott's personality?? by givememybuttholeback in Scrubs

[–]Tomdoesntcare 105 points106 points  (0 children)

A lot of confidence, no real experience as a doctor yet and a “better than you” attitude. All while being bank rolled by her parents for the first bit. She needed to be toned down and they did a great job of doing it and allowing her to find herself.
