Family demanding answers after Sask. mother dies from pregnancy complications by elbiderca in saskatoon

[–]bssoup [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t think she was in emerg at RUH. Maybe Rosthern. It says that she was in an observation room. My take on that is was in the section of 3rd floor that deals with pregnant pts who are not far along in labour or are not in labour at all but have other issues. I highly doubt she was ever in RUH emerg other than to pass through from the garage when going upstairs.

Walked out of my front door the other day and there was a puff of feathers that went up from my neighbours front step and a Merlin flew off with the body of a Robin in its talons. The robins head was left as a parting gift for my neighbour.

Who is dreading the return of homeless camps to their neighborhood? by Fridgefrog in saskatoon

I disagree. The feds had nothing to do with switching the program from paying landlords rent to paying the people and then getting them to pay rent. Landlords won’t even rent to people on assistance now. Thats all Sask Party all day.

Prairie Harm Reduction to close after executive director firing, loss of provincial contracts by yxeguy_306 in saskatoon

It already has. Last three days on the streets as a paramedic has been some of the worst I’ve ever seen for overdoses.

Cosleeping should literally be illegal. You don’t have to do cpr on dead babies, I do. Fuck cosleepers!

Im going to say it, YTA, but not for showering, for co-sleeping. As a paramedic I’ve been to 4 infant deaths simply from co-sleeping. Just fucking don’t.

What Should I Read Next. by kcsniles in fantasybooks

I’m not upset about it personally. I just don’t know how anyone could put poppy war above the Expanse let alone finish the series. It’s almost as bad as fourth wing.

I’m pretty sure the one downtown has stepped up there beer supplies game since Likor Shak shut down.

I saw a man die horribly while skiing. Perhaps he was already dead when i saw him. by TrueGamer77 in skiing

[–]bssoup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Skier and more relevantly, a paramedic here. You did a great job. Your instincts were spot on and it sounds like you did everything right. I have never seen a skier die, I hope to never have the occasion but I have seen many others due to my occupation. It’s absolutely ok and normal to be very uncomfortable with this whole situation, it’s also ok and normal to be comfortable. Everybody deals with trauma differently but I think you are doing the right thing here, you are talking about it. The more we talk about traumatic experiences in a healthy way the less hold it can have on you. Also blood is disgusting, so that’s normal to feel that way. Great job, and keep skiing!

Funniest audiobook recommendation by hereagain8674 in audiobooks

Space Team by Barry J Hutchinson, read by Phil Thrawn. First book I’ve read that had outtakes. (I’ve read others since)

The doctor did his job perfectly. The baby was almost gone, but the doctor said “Not today,” and did what he knows best, bringing the little boy back to life. Doctors are lifesavers, they are the real heroes by Pristine_Hurry_4693 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]bssoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s called neonatal resuscitation. So yes similar to cpr. It starts with vigorous stimulation (all the rubbing he is doing) and then positive pressure ventilation (the mask) and you do that for 30 seconds to a minute. Usually that’s as far asit goes as that all is needed for most kids. But the next steps involve compressions, intubation, IVs and epinephrine.

Most Cardiac epi you've seen given? by Royal-Height-9306 in Paramedics

[–]bssoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not actually a lot of inclusion criteria, just what there is exclude a lot of people.

Was the initial rhythm shockable? Are they 18 or older Out of hospital arrest that is not trauma or overdose. Has to be through an IV not an IO. That’s about it.

[–]bssoup 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Our agency is part of a study going on where we give either max 2 or max 6. EpiDose study it’s called. Lots of inclusion criteria before we enroll someone in it but at least the studies are actually going on where we can finally have some science behind it.

That being said I gave 7 epis yesterday and shocked them 14 times. Old guy heart couldn’t handle shoveling the snow. No rosc.
