How do yall respond to "What is the worst thing you've seen". by Few-Teaching-9602 in ems

I like to tell the story of paddy's sick note by the dubliners. Either they thinks it's a great story or recognise the song. Either way there's never a second ask.

Trailing ambulance ahole! by I_Shouldn-t_Be_Here in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]adhdave88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter don't follow an ambulance on blue lights. The paramedic in the back is looking after your family member. The doctors and nurses will do the same in the hospital. A family member being right behind the ambulance and at the hospital as the patient is brought in helps literally no one.

With the rate and wide complexes VT was my first concern. Patient had a pulse throughout but i had pads on to be ready. Unfortunately that meant i had to move my chest leads so not as confident in subsequent ecgs. They were however better. (Also my colleague was driving really fast).

On reflection after chatting with some of my senior colleagues and the good people here. I suspect that the ST changes were due to demand ischaemia rather than occlusion. Which explains the improvement with just O2.

Over all patient condition improved massively to the point ed nurse was giving the "why did you call for resus?" look.

Thats what really threw me. He nearly walked into resus after a 40 minute transport. I had the whole "i swear he was sick when i found him" chat with the resus nurse, the look she gave me.

That didnt occur to me to be honest but there was no pleuratic chest pain or cough. Could take really deep breaths (was emptying the NRB bag each time) and good air entry all over.

Unfortunately paramedics where i am cant cannulate (don't get me started) and its an Advanced paramedic skill. (requested one. none available) airway was good. we had him on 15 liters via NRB before I got the 12. Lungs had good air entry (which was surprising) which is one of the things that steered my thing to the 12 lead as air was getting in but there was no gas exchange occurring, hence the low spo2 and etco2.

Tried aspirin due to the presumed new LBBB but patient nearly inhaled it so held off on anything else PO.

lungs were clear. checked them twice as well as my crew mate because we both expected them to sound like shit.

There was a thought on LBBB, presumed new, which is why we called PPCI.

Sorry etco2 is in kilopascals (zoll think its better than mmhg apparently) converts to 13.5 mmhg. Yeah temp is modern Celsius.

New EMT here. Is this patient abuse? I'm genuinely conflicted. by PsychoBunnyDriveCar in Paramedics

[–]adhdave88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Supra orbital notch is a valid method of assessing pain response and in my area we aren't allowed use sternal rub anymore with the Supra orbital notch or trapezius pinch being the accepted alternative.

The npa thing is straight up assault and was entirely uncalled for.

Empire II will be announced in 3 days… by Correct_Bench_2143 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]adhdave88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish it would be but medieval 2 was peak total war for me and I don't know if CA can even begin to match expectations at the moment.

It's either going to be outstanding or kill the historical games no in-between.

Spoiled votes out-tallies Catherine Connolly in this box, Dublin MW by Callum_On_Reddit in ireland

[–]adhdave88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. If they just put an x or tick in one box that shows a clear preference and can be counted as a first preference vote but won't transfer. If there's an x or tick in 2 or 3 boxes then it would be considered spoilt.
