If the hospitals are now required to provide food, clothes, shelter on top of medical care why would a homeless person try and better themselves? They have everything they need, no reason to improve their situation.
I don’t see how requiring hospitals to provide these social services will...
I’m still trying to get over the fact that there is such a position as “diversity officer” in the armed forces.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though.
I’ve had a couple honest druggies in the last month. It is definitely nice when they stop lying that they didn’t take anything while they are tachy, dilated pupils, diaphretic, and extremely fidgety.
Ya we ended up going stemi, it was a discussion since the pt went unconscious suddenly with a blown right pupil and fixed gaze to the right. We were thinking hemorrhagic stroke, but we went cardiac route anyway.
Got my first torsades in the field. Pt was alert and only c/o weakness. His BP was 70/40 and he was a little pale. Gave some mag and got a monomorphic v tach. Then gave some lido and hung a drip, and got him into an a fib with a decent BP. Cool call
