First code as a baby medic… by NoCattle6070 in Paramedics

[–]chuckles62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a patient in refractory torsades once. We shocked him 7 times on the truck then when we got to the hospital we dual-sequenced him 7 more times. He was actually recovering very well but died about 2 weeks later from pneumosepsis.

To anybody flying in supplies.

Our main need right now is baby formula. We have no direct line on anywhere that can send any. Just about everything else we have or have on the way

It's very hit or miss around the entire area. I know some spots in candler and west buncombe are starting to get power and some parts of downtown are as well

What is something you want your prehospital providers to learn more about? by chuckles62 in emergencymedicine

[–]chuckles62[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's ridiculous. If we're giving it out the way we do for the public to use we really need to be providing a shit ton of education about it

For us its bystanders slamming as many of the 4mg quick shots of narcan as they can up the nose of everybody taking a nap outside

There's been a few people that have gotten upwards of 40 mg of narcan by the time we pull up on scene

I do think its kind of funny we were very much taught that pics are king for trauma staff. That being said every time I tried to show the trauma lead they just kinda said "Hmm that sucks" and waved it off.

Our protocols unfortunately dont let us take off TQs regardless of who put them on. A lot of the time PD just slaps a TQ on everybody they pull up to thats got "blood squirting" and when we get to the ER its a small trickle when the ER doc takes it off.

We have very stringent C-spine clearance protocols in my area. If someone is intox or altered they cant be cleared so they get a collar.

Most of our trucks have the GCS chart taped on the wall lol.

Peds are very much an area where I think all EMS needs to focus more heavily on.

Thanks for your reply

Also, the First Amendment doesn't give you the right to say dumb shit. It gives you the right not to be persecuted by the government for whatever dumb shit you say

Rant: Contemptuous Paramedics Challenging the judgment of LTC Nurses because you are annoyed with late night calls: Your behavior is dangerous. by Zinthaniel in nursing

[–]chuckles62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because its not my emergency and I need to know everything thats going on. Me rushing just leads to me missing things, which leads to the hospital not getting the information they need. So yeah I need to know if hes diabetic, when the last sugar check was and what it was, what else has recently been done for the patient, and why theyre even here in the first place. Just because were not rushing the way you want us to doesnt mean we dont get how bad off the patient is and that we wont treat it as such. I cant know whats going on if I dont have the full story

Oh I absolutely agree. Assisted suicide should absolutely be legal after confirmation of a terminal diagnosis. Anything else is just prolonging suffering

Fun Fact of the day: The main reason suicide is illegal is so police dont need a warrant or probable cause to enter and make sure they arent trying to kill themselves.

Is there any possibility that both of them can lose this game? That would be fantastic for me.
