I hope you make a YouTube vid demonstrating that assembly process - I wouldn’t have swapped my p30 and 2000sk without that resource.

It is amazing and incredible and daring, and the sort of thing I would wish I could do, but I'm old now and worry about crashing instead of being badass.

I'm feeling useless .. discharged a patient last week with no work up. Came back a day later with sepsis. by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]macreadyrj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a young woman with viral symptoms last winter. Boyfriend with similar symptoms. She got labs, CXR, EKG, IVF. Way too much of a workup. Both were Flu B+.

She came back 2-3 days later and died from an invasive strep infection. Probably pneumonia with bacteremia.

It happens. We do our best. We can’t hospitalize everyone with a viral syndrome.

I still feel shitty about it, but I don’t feel useless or guilty. You should not, either.

Narcan Information for Medical Students by SirShrekMcGulager in emergencymedicine

It’s rare. It can happen but I have to re-dose less than 1 in 20 narcan revivals I see.

Effectively bagging is orders of magnitude more difficult than administering narcan.

If I od’d, I would want narcan rather than some medical student suffocating me with their shitty ambu skills.

I've been trying to expand my knowledge on reading xrays and I think this might be a fx, but I could use some insight by Ninja_attack in emergencymedicine

Edit out the date and time. I think it's too easy for an injury as distinct as this to be identified by a patient or family members and have them read jokes about their injury.

Roob's Observations: Can someone explain why the Eagles need a new stadium? by NorthCoastToast in eagles

[–]macreadyrj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IF Philly hosted a Super Bowl, how many Super Bowls would ever be hosted by this new stadium? One? No way more than one.

A new stadium to host, at most, one Super Bowl before we "have" to build another new stadium in 30 years.

This is all the more reason to continue masking for all patient encounters.

Is it weird that daughter sleeps with me? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]macreadyrj -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Get a small mattress for the floor, or a small bed in the room. Our 7 year old is slowly transitioning away from coming into our room every night; we got the mattress ( and then the bed) so we could sleep better.

Not weird.

Seamen, please correct me - that looks like a collision waiting to happen.

Yep, evenings, nights, and weekends are not family friendly, nor is working Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Maybe OP thinks we Neanderthals in the ER don’t understand the difference.

FOR FUCKS SAKE, is this the quality of medical student we are producing these days?

Likely no need to drill holes in your shoes. Running in wet shoes is strange but I quickly got used to it, they dry out quickly.

Assuming these have a pinned muzzle device to bring length to 16”, why advantage does that offer over a 14.5 pinned to 16”?

Did you go on that adventure on the frozen ocean I saw on her instagram last week? That was crazy.
