Eh yes and no. Both jobs have given good raises the last 12 months, but neither were particularly great to start. What really boosts income and quality of life this past year is all the bonus pay to get people to pick up, I'm making a killing that way.

Those pay checks must be nice, but I don't think I'd stick around for long. We aren't allowed to work more than 48 and I can't be held any day after a day I work.

I don't know when I last used my debit card. I have credit cards set to notify me for any purchase, so that one is something I'll catch quick.

ROSC #2 this weekend had a pH of 6.6. I don't think I've dropped anyone off that low in quite a long time. Honestly impressed I even kept that pulse with that pH, even if only barely.

Always satisfying when you've got a great partner, great engine crew, and everything and everyone just clicks into place. I mean, was it necessary? No. V1 was pretty evident. But did the placement and going from 1.0 to 3.0 on the size make those p waves pop? Absolutely. Do I feel like it added...

Got to break out the ol Lewis lead set up today. Not that I really had doubts about the initial print out being flutter, but what else am I gonna do on 35 mile transports?

On paper you do. Your reality has always looked more like 96/24 the way you've talked about how often you get held.

Go to a rural 24/72 and you'll barely work more than that on a normal month.

Honestly, more of a side point then anything.... I'd argue that a cric or pressor drip is no more difficult nor something we should put off if it's warranted. I programmed pumps for my main job to streamline and simplify the initiation of pressors. Now its as simple as put the amount on the...

Glad to hear it.

How'd you like the course?

I admittedly need to be better about it. I have placed them, but I won't sit here and say it's every tube. It'd be better practice for me to get into.

Now that I will and have done.

Huh....I vaguely remember reading about it a long time ago, but pretty sure it's not common in an of the two regions I work in. Definitely gonna be looking more into it.

Huh you are the first place I know of starting right off with 12.

I veeeery rarely give it so I don't have much relevant experience to add about it. Although I did give it a week or so ago and 6 worked beautifully. Diaphoretic, anxious, chest discomfort, 100ish BP. Converted on 6. Honestly a bit of an anticlimactic pause, less than 2 seconds and got right back...

I'd probably go with adenosine based on how easily you got a line. The trigger for electricity would be light though.

Truth. Took about 7 months to get there. I'd still stay a ground medic even if I got this and it was a good offer.

Well the HEMS application finally moved. Interview coming up in about a week.

It's funny reflecting on the transitions of our career. I used to be the new kid wanting to go go go and now I just wanna chill unless there is some degree of mental stimulation. I'm no longer in any hurry to keep my times under an hour and I'm getting the new kids that wanna not be stuck at a...
