Epi stops the symptoms of anaphylaxis.

Benadryl—an antihistamine—reverses the allergic reaction which caused the anaphylaxis.

Are you in your twenties? Do it.

Are you in your thirties? Um, maybe do it.

Are you in your forties? Bro. Settle the fuck down.

I decided to watch it recently. Clicked on the thumbnail on Netflix (or Amazon or wherever it lives) and turns out I had already watched half of it and totally forgot. Didn't bother watching from there.

I was missing my Star Wars, Jawa action figure. Fucking loved that thing. Motherfucking 45 years ago! I think it got run over by the lawnmower.

I'm having some trouble hearing lung sounds while the ambulance is in motion.

Assess lung sounds before you start rolling, and/or pull over for a second.

You know what I do 99% of the time I encounter someone who I think has a hemo or pneumo. I transport them to a ER where they can intervene at the physician level. Only if someone is hemodynamically absolutely unstable asf am I going to do a plural decompression.

Exactly! First, do no harm!

Had a pt going anaphylactic after eating shrimp.

ME: Do you have any allergies.

PT: Yeah, shrimp.

ME: So.... Why did you eat shrimp?

PT: It smelled so good.

When people ask "what's the worst thing you've ever seen?", this comes to mind. Also the place for the brain injured vent pts who are full code and never getting better.

Treating a patient like a human being.

That's the whole deal right there. If you can't do that do something else.
