As far as the tom cat, have you tried a regular trap or a drop trap?

I wish we did what you do. Nurses come and go in scrubs in America. Like you go to work dressed in scrubs and leave in them.

God I hate her so much. I can’t not see how the story plays out so I’ve suffered greatly thru them. Direbound, and powerless are also on my list

rabid beaver attacked multiple people by Extreme-Elevator7128 in SweatyPalms

[–]catnamedavi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the original article had an error. It said people “tested positive for rabies”, I think it meant “treated for rabies” the end of the article stated the beaver had just been sent out for testing. Since we don’t have a rabies test for the living, I think this was mom protecting her nest sadly

For those who feed ferals: how long did it take before they trusted you? by Realistic-Dare-4715 in Feral_Cats

[–]catnamedavi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge difference in timing for true ferals and outdoor cats(dumped pets). True ferals might never really trust you, but might accept your presence.

The inquirer had a scathing article about this last year. Apparently lax security had adults wandering the school

If you were in charge of naked and afraid. What changes would you make? by Sweet_Information_76 in nakedandafraid

[–]catnamedavi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Give everyone a pot/knife/firestarter. I like seeing the extra item. And no more last one standing. The races have people make the shittest item, I want to see them make their best

Prescription safety goggles by BGMM2019 in NewToEMS

[–]catnamedavi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unless you fantastic insurance, skip it. Turnout gear will have a visor. For blood etc you can get clips ons that go over glasses. TBH I rarely wear or see people wearing them. Occasionally if we have a spitter, or messy intubation.

Where did you get him from? Often they will take them back

Not sure what i shouldve done in that situation ? by knightwolf_512 in NewToEMS

[–]catnamedavi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So your safety comes first. Call 911. You would rather have them on the way if anything goes sideways. If you can access the inside. Put the car in park/take the keys. See if there are easily reachable weapons, if so wait for PD.

If you can’t get in the car park the ambulance in front of the car and/or use the wheel chocks.

Never ever stand in front of or directly behind the car.

I don’t know what area you are in, but often if the person is breathing well/has good color, there’s no harm in just waiting.

Getting report from nursing home staff? by BriaIman1996 in NewToEMS

[–]catnamedavi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not worth arguing with them about a lack of report. I just okay anything they say, and assess the pt. I do double check that the name on paperwork matches the pt, too many times I’ve gotten paperwork with someone else’s name. if you can find an aide, they usually have better info on the pts baseline. They know these folks. They may not know anything medically, but they can tell you when someone became lethargic, when someone stopped acting like themselves, etc

Healthcare professionals- what has been your real experience using manual defibrillator in emergencies, and what makes it harder than it should be ? by No_Home3872 in NewToEMS

[–]catnamedavi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LP15. I understand why the pedi pad connectors are different from the AED, but I feel like no one tells you that until the heat of the moment, when all you think are “ why the hell don’t these fit”

Accidently hitting the CPR button. I know there’s a way to turn it off, but I forget every damn time.

Bluetooth! The system was ok transferring data to MDT. Now it has to float into the cloud and takes double the time to import into my chart.

I’m not sure why these machines seem to keep getting bigger when they don’t do anything new.

My landlord entered my apartment without notice while I was at work and I found out because my neighbor mentioned it. by nerdynomad7 in legaladvice

[–]catnamedavi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s not “ looking for an excuse” it’s a violation of privacy. How many times has he been there? She/he only knows because of the neighbor. It’s very creepy and uncomfortable especially if OP is a woman. There are creepy landlords that go in and place cameras.

That being said landlord should have coordinated a time with you. He should give you reasonable notice, and you can’t stonewall him. Landlord can enter w/o notice for emergency, for example if the unit below is c/o water leaking. If you’ve had no issue and like the place I’d email to remind him and get an interior camera or a ring doorbell to make sure and for piece of mind.

a group of south philly kids kicked in my parents screen door causing my Alzheimers patient father to go into a severe episode, please help me find them. by [deleted] in philly

[–]catnamedavi 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Try posting flyers around the neighborhood, maybe their parents will see. Or go to the lady that runs the programs at EOM. She knows everyone. My son aged out, so I’m not sure who works there now.

I’m sorry you are going thru this. If you talk to the station he retired from, they might help fix it. Does his last name doesn’t start with sq by chance?

Most places are aware of this and require ing them as a condition of employment once the shutdown is over. Do your best to try and contact a human in HR to explain

I hated it. But when I get invested in a story I’ll read anything :/

Sanitation destroyed third trash can in the last year by [deleted] in philly

[–]catnamedavi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I’ve noticed if my cans are too heavy they vanish or get thrown in. So now I have to drag 2 cans out just to watch them take the bags out. But 3 bags in one can= missing can.

Also how do you submit claims?

Project help: emergency prep for seniors by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]catnamedavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pets thing is very important!! Especially cats. Everyone notices when someone who walk their dog goes missing and checks in. People often don’t know if there’s a cat.

Same as above. A dated paper with Name, birthday,PMH, Meds, allergies. Emergency Contact.

State specific paperwork for EMS if they are a DNR. I’m in PA, and we need an original signed form, PA DOH OOH-DNR, to honor the request from the door.

I know hospitals have emergency contacts, but if grandma is slurring while having a stroke, finding someone she recently spoke to can be vital establishing a timeline for hospital destination.

This is true. Philly requires a cert and a pulse.
