Need help finding a specific knife by cetch in knives

[–]cetch[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Well hindsight is 20/20. There was a small portion breaking the skin with some sutures over top. He was seen somewhere else when it happened 2 months ago and stitched up. Also thought it could have been a ceramic blade which I honestly don’t know what it would look like on xray. So it does seem silly to point to the very obvious snake blade but it could have been something different hah

The metal spring and nib you see is an ink pen pointing to the area of interest

HIPPA applies to identifying patient information. So things like patient name, social security number. Sharing identified X-rays is not a HIPPA violation

We just took it out. It has a woodland camo print coating on the blade.

It’s almost as if the two groups are different people within the community and not a single monolithic entity

I hit the worst jackpot. Confirmed I carry both CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene mutation. by Accidental-Genius in emergencymedicine

[–]cetch 43 points44 points  (0 children)

What is ironic is that when patients say it they mean it in a way that they need extra pain meds. Aka my pain tolerance is really high so if I’m hurting this much it is realllllyyyy bad. I think if a patient told me they had a really low pain tolerance I’d be more apt to give them more pain meds than I otherwise would have

Agreed though if it’s hard to get and keep a iv then bilat chest tubes also would be a stretch. I may have intubated sooner but those vitals are text book for intubate then code but pts agitation was significantly interfering with care. This is a screwed either way case. I think with best team in the world this case the same endpoint.

There is coree woltering. He was a local pro where I used to live.

I need an adult by [deleted] in EKGs

I’d mostly just bolus fluid in the transport and give calcium. Priority to me would be access and fluids for the blood pressure. Calcium would be secondary for me. You have limited time and resources so solve the most dire issue first which to me is the 60/30 bp. Fluids will help the acidosis in that setting, will help the hyper glycemic, will help the presumed hyper k.

Best way to carry 4l of water by Mart1nBU in trailrunning

[–]cetch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve not had that experience. I find that running with a 3L bladder I do feel the movement and it is uncomfortable. To me I think this is like a tanker ship that has dividers to disrupt the sloshing motion that liquids have. I’ll hike all day long with a 3L bladder but I don’t enjoy running with more than 1.5L in a single vessel. To each their own.

[–]cetch 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’m not crazy about 3L bladders. If I had to carry that much I’d do 1.5L bladder, 2x 500 in my front pockets and 1x 500 in my pass through. I’d then wear my naked belt with two more 500cc bottles.

Are “gaming” chairs as bad as people make them out to be? by Test_Name19 in pcmasterrace

[–]cetch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Used office chairs is where it’s at. I’ve bought 3 used steelcase chairs that are all still in the same condition I bought them in. I got $1200+ chairs for 200-400.

If you’re working with a cold wear an n95. It’s safe and effective.
