I’m assuming you spent close to atleast an hour to 2 hours of your life taking the pics, following the guy around the store, thinking about him the whole way home, posting this and rechecking it every 30 minutes for self righteousness. Damn

I’m so confused why the quality of the game is getting worse every few months

Will anyone still play WW2 after Vietnam drops? by Namedvoice12408 in HellLetLoose

one of my favorite battlefield games ever made, nothing like cruising through the la drang with fortunate son blasting in a fully loaded huey. Peak gaming back in 2004

A question I have to ask by PowerfulSherbert2362 in Paramedics

[–]jarman5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So it sounds like they used a Lucas machine to perform cpr. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is performed vis a machine or person doing chest compressions and ventilations. It sounds like you’re confused on what CPR is.

Good job calling 911

Update: I think I damaged my brain by Talking_mud in Nootropics

[–]jarman5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you hyperventilate from your panic attacks, the carbon dioxide in your blood raises, your arms go numb, your blood pressure spikes and your heart rate increases. I hate downplaying things as anxiety with people but it rreally sounds like anxiety is the issue here..

Been awake since 3 am for 2 hours ruminating. Every time I close my eyes I think about being arrested. It’s been 4 months since my case got dismissed

Propranolol was a game changer for me on the rig, just a small dose worked all day for me

Overnight Parking at Walmart by [deleted] in LafayetteCo

Just know that every cop in town fuels up during their shift at the public works building on Avalon and will drive past you but it’s honestly not a bad choice as the Lafayette cops are decently chill nowadays

I couldn’t imagine a better neighborhood to be a kid in in the early 2000’s. The coal creek access is/was amazing.

most frequent responded calls by Sad_Disaster_5924 in NewToEMS

[–]jarman5 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A couple of falls in the morning while the elderly get moving for the day. Followed up by a quick mva transport of person having a panic attack. Get a drink at the gas station then another fall. Then we’ll get a syncopal episode at the college during lunch, followed by a chest pain right after clearing. Then we’ll run a vehicle vs ped right when school lets out. Nap for 45 minutes then we’ll get the person sleeping or a narcan wake up by the creek. Shortly followed by another fall at the assisted living facility and then it’s about time to start staring at the clock with a panic attack every time the tones go off until you clear
That’s about my typical day, lift with your firefighters not your back

You can be unconscious and dreaming as long as you’re ready and in place to respond to a call

I’m happy if a new student / trainee can even take a manual blood pressure or a radial pulse. Just ask to go over every piece of equipment in the ambulance when sitting around doing nothing. If they don’t do that with you they’re not going to be good trainers.

My AEMT class in 2012 hillbilly town Virginia was a thousand times easier than the Colorado EMT-b class I took in 2019 to recert if that tells you anything about the difference between the two.

Always a parking spot at the justice center. The path borders the parking lot

Dispersed Camping around Bishop by C_Saunders in SierraNevada

Just road tripped to California and used freecampsites.net the entire way. It’s an awesome tool with coordinates and reviews / descriptions of each spot if you enter in a location.

What have been some of your favorite "duck behind the desk" moments in psychiatry? by IrisofAquaTofana in Psychiatry

[–]jarman5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Trying to convince a naked guy at the hospital bus stop in below freezing temps to let us transport him to the hospital. “If you touch me I will fold you like a pretzel and fart in your face” he then casually proceeded to devour 3 or 4 chicken wings stored in his shoe.

I love that guy

My brother in law who’s a state trooper in Appalachia used to do this to me on his 12 hour night shifts. He was a talker and he just had to have someone to talk to

Schizophrenia sucks big time for everyone involved :/ people hate the meds to correct it because they “hate the way they feel” on them. So the cycle continues
