That sucks. Was it more than ECG, intubation and ventilation, IO, and an assessment?

It rubs the lower pay rate on its skin... :rofl:

First I will say, and I'm sure you already know this, listen to what the cardiologist says in regards to heart rates and exercise because if you have a cardiologist the game has changed for you. With that said check out this link...

Day 3 of orientation. Bring it on! Tomorrow, I and the other medics, (and one RN) get to play ALS 12-lead, capno, etc., while the EMT's get to do day long mapping drills. At least we're getting a boat load of CE's. :lol:

I'm not sure how your body responds, but for me, I never do cardio (signifigant amounts) on days that I do strength training on legs since cardio relies on the legs. I personally would end up falling down and killing myself Keep it up and you will improve. What worked well for me was that I...

Went yesterday and today. Both workouts were the same Bike @ 25 minutes mixed with 3 1-minute HIIT episodes and 5 minute cooldown Stairmaster @ 25 minutes Treadmill @ 10 minutes for cooldown Each was followed by a nice long soak in the jacuzzi and plenty of stretching.

I'm trying to go to the gym and why can't I find my socks, because for some reason I put them in the sink...maybe I'm trying to tell myself something.

All I got was AMR's death by power point today and for the rest of the week. I'm not complaining, but it's not my favorite thing :lol:

Well that was a lot of power point and signatures today. At least the guy behind me is a cool dude.

Well judging from the people I've communicated with that will be there tomorrow, our orientation will have both EMT's and Medics. AMR hiring seems to happen in bursts (bolus lol), so get that app in and sit tight.

See you all in the AM

What?

Mycroft already mentioned it, but I don't want the thread to go on without saying I think you did well, and as well as you could have done. I can also understand the vacuum of frustration caused by the big disconnect between you and the 911 ALS response. It a bummer not having follow up...

I guess 2 big questions that remain that cannot really be verified is: 1. Was the BP really that high? Was it confirmed by arriving providers? and 2. Was the Pt really having wheezes?

Finally got back to the gym for my normal routine. I've started to mix in some weight training, but plan to make it half my gym routine starting in about 2 or 3 weeks. I'm planning on 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength training...and never cardio after legs! :P Todays workout: Bike...

Here are some links about wheezing and PE Link 1 9.1% presented with wheezing Link 2 There can also be ECG changes too. Here is a Link to a review of what can present, but the short of it, is that there will be t-wave inversion is 2-3 precordial leads and a RBBB. I doubt this would be...

I'd like to add that I'd sure like to know what the 12-lead showed. With that said, I actually know a guy who's child went into a hypertensive crisis similar to this during a baseball game. 9 years old similar symptoms, BP >200/100, etc. Doctors hadn't pinned a diagnosis after a 3 months.

That's how he/she was trained. I know, I know, but that's what it comes down to. Right out of the curriculum. :sad:

Welcome to the dark side my friend!

I agree with you. I didn't mean to come off so dismissive is my post. My point is that if they're drunk, barring nothing else outstanding, then BLS all the way. I would like to refer to my previous post
