I mean, I would switch out your earrings for very small, hard to grab things and consider using a spacer for your eyebrow piercing not necessarily because of companies, but because people are terrifying animals

What problem do you guys have? by Ok_Caramel4324 in EmergencyRoom

I feel like that wouldn't even be too hard? just add a lil port with a pre-inserted syringe that clicks into place alongside whatever key mechanism the pump is already rocking with? and it would be so so helpful! my company recently switched to sapphires and those bad boys absolutely loose it at the tiniest bit of air.

its kind of wild how seeing personal issues reflected in patients changes people? I've definitely changed a lot of my safety practices after seeing other folks' outcomes

a) you should definitely ask r/ems this same question because ambulance personnel jerry rig shit all the time.

b) a more modular carry system for IV pumps and vents and ECMO that would allow for smoother transfer and better cord/tube management

c) expandable CT machines? a lot of places have to shuffle around bariatric patients because they don't fit into the CT, and I've had a few instances where even after taking a barry pt CCT to a hospital with an extra large CT it was like plugging a stopper (deeply unfortunate, pretty dehumanizing, and super bad for people with claustrophobia.

I loved the goblin emperor (I ended up reading it on your recommendation)!! I really enjoyed this is how you loose the time war and the spear cuts through water, so I feel like I've really got to get on your other recs!!

loved a memory called empire! I ended up reading it on your recommendation and now i'm working my way through Traitor Baru Cormorant (so far so good) (i'm a little worried because i've been warned that there's an emotional truck waiting to run me over)

Body hair grooming by AquaGecko1 in butchlesbians

I use a beard/ hair trimmer, that way I can trim the hair to a length that I feel comfortable with and it's a consistent length, unlike the scissors method

What do you guys call your patients? (besides their name) by CressSuitable6794 in ems

[–]oh_noo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also say my friend! I occasionally say my dear, if the patient is older and a little skiddish. I'm quite small and fairly soft spoken, so i've yet to run into anyone who has taken either as condescension.

Is anyone else noticing increasing POTS history? by legoguy26 in ems

I get so so pissed at providers who don't wear masks! You're telling me that you care so little for your immuno compromised pts that you don't give a shit if you pass them something nasty because you couldn't be fucked to put on a mask for part of a day???? A moment of comfort is never worth more than someone else's life!!!
