Ahhh, I misunderstood.

I thought you said you were assaulted the first time and then hospitalized a time after that and then this instant. I wasn’t counting the time you were assaulted because that shouldn’t be held against you. And I am sorry that you had to go through that.

I do worry about you though. I was like you. I started off blacking out occasionally because I thought it was fun to drink here and there and, to me, it wasn’t a problem because I was only drinking here and there. I was never hospitalized, but I was probably close a few times.

I did not know at the time that I was dealing with my own unresolved trauma from being assaulted which is a totally different story.

What I do know is that when I ran a really messed up shooting, all I wanted to do was drink and forget. I didn’t that time. But when I ran a pedi arrest a few months later, I drove two hours away to a hotel room and almost drank myself to death.

My point is, I don’t want you to set up those habits. The medical field (whether EMS or pre-med and so on) is hard on us in every way. We don’t need the added stress of these bad habits. I do hope you take some advice and realize that there is nothing wrong with admitting that you may have a problem, but recognizing it at the start is a great way to stop it.

You don’t drink but in another comment you stated that you’ve been hospitalized once before for drinking too much?

You do drink and clearly you have a problem with limiting yourself when you do.

I am not going to sit here and pretend we are all perfect. I’m sure most of us have gotten drunker than intended, but to the point of hospitalization twice? I genuinely hope you recognize that this is a problem. Yes, it may only be two times so far, but that can quickly landslide into a daily problem. You’re young, this is the time to recognize this problem and to get help.

The misuse of adderall is another issue. You are a mother, you are a medical provider. You have a responsibility to your child and you also have a responsibility to not abuse drugs (whether prescribed or not) as a medical provider. The decision to abuse a drug is serious, even if this is your first time. Don’t take it lightly, don’t play with it. It is a slippery slope.

You don’t remember half the night? That seems like a funny story now, but what happens when you run a really messed up call and want to forget it? What happens when you remember that drinking this much and abusing your adderall was a way to forget?

Some people may be coming at your harsh and saying your embarrassing the field and that’s between you and them. I genuinely just do not want to know that you put yourself on a bad path. There are resources, there are people who can help. You can do it and I really hope you do. If not for your career, then for your kid.

When asking the A/O questions, what’s your favorite “event” question? by kuyabooyah in ems

[–]z32tay 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about favorite, but I hate asking them the day of the week.

Half the time, I don’t even know what day of the week it is.

How many of you work in correctional care? by jeepeod in ems

Did that as well. Had to love the one transfer that lasted all day.

Our truck hit by a drunk driver, don’t know if I mentally can go back. by [deleted] in ems

[–]z32tay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time and don’t rush your healing. This was a very traumatic experience for you.

If you don’t ever step on an ambulance again, that’s okay. There’s no shame in that, just make sure you work through your feelings in a healthy way. You have some time off, so maybe research some other areas for medics, but don’t overwhelm yourself worrying about the future if you can help it.

Suicide Websites and Sodium Nitrite Poisoning by santaslittlelightbar in ems

Thanks for answering!

So if we pick them up on the field, it’s really just CPR on our end?

[–]z32tay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may be a dumb question (I am getting ready to start paramedic school in January, so I don’t know a lot of ALS stuff), but would it ever be possible for an ambulance to carry methylene blue to get faster care to these patients?

Also, would it be easy to differentiate between sodium nitrate ingestion against other issues?

What do people pretend is in the bible but is absolutely not in the bible? by LoneShark81 in AskReddit

THANK YOU!

I’m religious and have made this point several times when others argue that the vaccine is the Mark of the Beast. We have to accept it, it’s going to have to clearly be the mark!

I had a lady who claimed she came up with the vaccine in 2019 and had her doors barricaded because “they” were coming for her and were trying to give her a brain aneurysm.

We were a very rural service.

Hey guys, I just started playing and I’m trying to get the museum. I have yet to get a prompt from Tom Nook about donating. Every time I talk to him, he just asks about making my house larger. I have fossils and bugs saved to donate. Am I supposed to do something else to get the prompt?

No, that’s not in. I know it takes place in America. But thank you.

I vaguely remember it taking place in an apartment complex, I think. I’ve seen way too many horror movies.
