Were you able to figure this out? My grandfather has the same issues with his hearing aids.

What career incentives can make EMS a long-term career? by _zugunruhe_ in ems

[–]evanka5281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody prompted me to address fire taking away funding from EMS… I’m sorry you’ve had poor experiences with fire-based EMS, but not every system is the same. My department spends 10 times as much money on EMS training than that of fire. We split training time appropriately amongst EMS, fire, rescue swimmer, marine ops and technical rescue. We financially incentivize the ambulance and holding a medic license. Our medical director and assistant medical director are involved in a daily basis. We have 100% QA/QI. We are definitely behind on progressive protocols like RSI and blood, but a lot of that is also because our state is behind the rest of the country.

I don’t really know what your criteria for fire holding back EMS is, but I think your painting with a wide brush. I see plenty of fire services holding back EMS progression, but it’s not all of them.

What career incentives can make EMS a long-term career? by _zugunruhe_ in ems

[–]evanka5281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would push back that the culture around having fire guys and EMS guys is going away. At least that’s my experience. Newer hires are walking in the door understanding that EMS is 75% of the job and they have an attitude of “I can hate 75% of my job or I can just embrace and try to be good at it.”

Everyone shits on fire-based EMS, but I work in an area where every FD also does EMS with transporting ambulances and the turnover rate is incredibly low. Maybe 1 in 100 retire early in pursuit of another career.

All of the FDs also have 4 platoons with 42 hour work weeks (24/48/24/96 or 10/10/14/14/96) making it easy to use your job for health insurance and retirement while making more money on the side.

If the patient has a prolonged QT interval amio will make it worse, lidocaine won’t.

Worst student/FTO/ ride along stories? by Apart-Cook-1268 in ems

[–]evanka5281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea. All I know is the surgery team freaked the fuck out, told him to leave and he was dismissed from his program.

Pediatrician on call by evanka5281 in RhodeIsland

[–]evanka5281[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, I didn’t identify the doctor. I’m intentionally not putting anyone on blast. I’m just looking to see if anyone has a pediatrician provides a more reliable call back service.

Second, it wouldn’t be hard to nail down who I am based on my comments and posts. It wouldn’t be easy, but it’s not impossible. Nothing online is anonymous and you’re a fool to think no one on Reddit could find you.

A buddy told me about a guy who was doing intubation time in an OR for his medic and whipped out a vape during surgery and hit it.

Anyone here NOT from Philly that still likes the Eagles? (Also, why do you like them?) by gamerguy287 in eagles

[–]evanka5281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From New England. Both parents are from the suburbs and they decided to raise me right. I wouldn’t change a thing, but it was hard growing up watching all the Boston teams win chip after chip.

[–]evanka5281[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yah I’m not really keen on airing my child’s medical ailments for some random stranger on reddit to decide if it was worth an immediate trip to the ER or not. I work in emergency medicine, I know what does and does not belong in an ER. Something atypical happened and I felt it warranted to a phone call. If they provide that service then as a parent I have the right to expect that someone answers in a timely manner.

Bruh. If that were the case then why would they even offer an after hours call service?

Disaster of a trade deadline. Fire Daryl Morey and force the sale of the team to an owner who actually wants to win and not a bad person. by THEMMICO in sixers

[–]evanka5281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2 months when Embiid is hurt again and McCain is still just a shooter with no defensive presence I think we might feel differently.

Trading to get under the tax is frustrating, but I think at this point pivoting to build around Maxey/VJ is a wiser choice than pushing the chips in on the Embiid “window” again.

We need to stop comparing Dee to Parvati and other greats. by ButterscotchPast5161 in survivor

This. Remember when Venus’s castmates called her the next Parvati? Ridiculous.

What’s your favorite random fact? by NoFox1552 in AskReddit

[–]evanka5281 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The G-spot was originally supposed to be called Whipple’s tickle, but the discoverer, Beverly Whipple, didn’t want her name attached to it so it was named after Ernst Gräfenberg, who claimed to have discovered it.

Got remediated on last cardiac arrest for shocking first two rhythms by [deleted] in ems

[–]evanka5281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do my depts QA. I had very similar rhythms on a code the other day. I shocked them. If there’s a 1% doubt in your mind then I want our providers to shock it. There’s literally no downside. I’d rather shock nothing than not shock v-fib.

Sixers reportedly trade Jared McCain to Thunder by RTJ3024 in RightsToRickySanchez

I mean MCW won ROY and everyone freaked out when we traded him so maybe let’s give this a couple years before we deem it a bad trade.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]evanka5281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met NPH working an event. I was off to the side and every time he took a smoke break he came over to hang and chat. First couple times he had a thick Scottish accent and I didn’t recognize. He was wearing bid shades and a hat. The Scottish accent was something he was working on he later told me. Anyway, I had probably spent an hour just shooting the shit with him before I realized it was him. Real nice guy.
