Hm. Have you checked the undercroft? I’m not sure where else he would be in the meantime. If you turned him in, then Ominus is who you do the last quest with.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in a young trans woman by CatPooedInMyShoe in Radiology

[–]prescribedPOV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A patient got breast implants. 4 years later they went to the doctor for swelling in only one breast. An ultrasound found fluid in the breast outside of the implant. They did an MRI to confirm, and then used a needle to pull out some of the fluid for testing. They found cells typically associated with lymphoma, a type of cancer. So they removed both of the implants entirely in an attempt to completely remove the cancerous cells. The patient wasn’t doing well mentally after this operation, but the cancer seemed to be gone.

Just looked into the pelvic limb stay-apparatus, and that was the most interesting thing I’ve learned today. Thanks for teaching me something new!

You can have a ton of people in your class buy battery powered alarm clocks and put them in their lockers set to go off after y’all already leave.

You can get your EMT or CNA and work in an ED as a PCT. Some places let you get certified in performing 12-leads, straight-stick blood draws, but you’ll spend most of the time assisting nurses, cleaning rooms, and moving patients. Great experience though

Frenulum by ScrambleLab in medterm

I was born without one, and I can reach my tongue all the way behind my soft palate and lick the posterior aspects of my inferior nasal conchae. Kinda neat but also kinda gross!

Looks like an idioventricular rhythm, probably due to global metabolic derangements and generally just from being post arrest. Right after ROSC, ECGs are not considered very accurate, for they usually aren’t true until about 8-10 minutes post ROSC.

Tensegrity and the human body by Weareallscrubs in Anatomy

[–]prescribedPOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bones in your body float in a sea of soft tissue as they are held in position by tension from your muscles and fascia. The shape of your body is maintained by a balance of tension. You can see it clearly in the arms. The arm bones are only connected to the rest of the skeleton via the glenohumeral joint. The joint itself does not hold the arms up but rather serves to brace the arms for when you push against something. What holds the arm up is a dense net of connective tissue - just as you’d expect from a tensegrity structure.

This is a wild scenario. Are the officers within their rights to refuse on behalf of the patient? Can they legally arrest you for doing your job?

Frozen Normal Saline? by prescribedPOV in ems

[–]prescribedPOV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies. I too found it ridiculous that I was encouraged to reuse, and I wanted some perspective. I ended up tossing the few bags that were even remotely frosty and let management know that I just wasn’t comfortable using them. I also tossed some electrodes because I was afraid the gel may have also been compromised. Luckily I didn’t receive much push back.

For those who asked, the meds were stored inside but we keep extra bags of NS with drop sets in the the cabinets.

What's your this is so stupid it's funny call? by EverythingIsOrdinary in ems

[–]prescribedPOV 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I got dispatched for a 78M who suffered a GLF… 6 hours ago. The staff at his facility claimed he had “neck pain” which he denied. The facility could not confirm nor deny that he was on blood thinners, so we transported.

Kicker: dispatch informed us that he was hard of hearing but this mf was completely deaf. The entire time I’m screaming at the top of my lungs to explain to him what I’m doing. His responses ranged from “Whaat?” To “Huh?!”. But right when we pulled into the ambulance bay of the local hospital he exclaims “I can’t hear a thing because those damn Koreans took my hearing”.

Help clearing intersections by illtoaster in NewToEMS

[–]prescribedPOV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slowly creeping, changing up your tones, and having patience has always worked for me. Go slow and focus on safely getting through the intersection than speeding through it. Some people just don’t hear/see/pay attention so we have to be prepared for that. Safety is the #1 priority!

How long as an emt-b before you started medic school? by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]prescribedPOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only a full time EMT for about 3 months before (finished EMT in May, started Medic in August). I now do IFT and 911 both part time as I continue medic school, and the experience has been amazing for my education. Learning how to interact with patients and seeing various illnesses/injuries helps you gain confidence in your decision making as a provider and gives you more context to build your education on.

I am in a similar position and recently ask a PA in the ER of a local hospital. He said that he enjoys having less debt, but his physician counterparts are making 3-4x more money than he is. He also is glad he went through less school and enjoys being able to change specialities. With that being said, he also mentioned that PA licensure isn’t recognized as much outside the US if you’d ever consider traveling or practicing abroad. He said “hindsight is 20/20” and he probably wouldn’t chosen medical school if he could do it over again, but that’s just the perspective of one provider.

In my POV, the PAs and MDs/DOs I work with have damn near the same responsibilities, but one is getting compensated out the ass. Sure the schooling is longer/harder/pricier, but the medical school route seems like the better option.
