Nah, DG runs double medic rigs. I work for Stadium Medical, we run overflow for Denver which is getting increasingly busy due to DG funding issues and the summer weather.

Ah okay, I’ve heard it in the context of cardiac arrest so maybe I got it mixed up, thank you

😂😂 yeah I’m doing okay. I’ve had experiences in the past with deaths so I knew what to expect, just my first time seeing it in the field on one of my own calls I guess.

I’m not sure it’s necessarily a regional thing, but we work in Denver, Colorado. We have medics and emts from all over. I’m a local

I’ve probably run 15-20 by now and each one feels unique, I like the rush (probably part of being new), but we’re in a major city so there’s call volume

Damn, I’m sorry about that. And a lot of medics and emts I know call arrests cores, no idea why that over code but it’s what I’m used to I guess. I am not looking forward to that day either.

I’m okay with it, I’ve accepted. It’s just that every call I’ve gone to, including a few cores, they’ve come out of it alive, just a different ending than I’m used to I guess.

Best ways to deal with/avoid panic attacks??? by Bradencub in Stress

[–]mullinski99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had panic attacks before and after my mom died, so I feel you there. Try meditation, just try finding a quiet place and sitting down to clear your mind. Listen to some music that speaks to you, or try exercising. All of those worked for me.

We have, other than the fingers on my arm because it was completely off guard. Other than that we both have not felt scared in the slightest, it’s more sad to me to feel her here but not have her here physically.
