    Heart attack induced by sulfa drug allergic reaction

    Had a call a couple days ago for the rollover on a local highway that had me guessing. 4 car MVA one rolled multiple times and everyone, somehow, was ok and ambulatory. One pt was pregnant and wanted to be seen at the hospital just to check on the baby (22 weeks, not the car that rolled, hasn't...

    Why do medics with the FD make more?

    It shouldn't be because of the uniform you wear that changes your status to hero. In all seriousness, when was the last time you saw a attaboy news report from a teacher/school nurse giving an epi pen? We all have the same job at the end of the day (in the medical sense) and thats all that...

    Why do medics with the FD make more?

    Maybe you missed the part of my post saying im not looking for air time, awards, and new decals. A good friend of mine from medic school (a ff/paramedic) gave an epi pen to a kid having an allergic reaction. The media swarmed the department and needed to record the life savers. He told me he...

    Why do medics with the FD make more?

    For what its worth the media also straight up strokes the FD egos all the time. Delivered a baby a month ago and other coworker delivered one a couple days later, both successful and healthy deliveries. Yet, while out to eat last night, blasting over the tv is how local fd delivered a baby and...

Remained hypotensive refractory to fluid challenge and was able to pace. Was the time i learned what a patient...

    Scenario: would you call this 12-lead?

    Don't know the exact QRS duration but I'm saying incomplete LBBB, which would naturally make the morphology of the "depressions" in the high lateral leads the op mentioned earlier. If it truly were depressions (which this is not) in the high lateral leads, you would see reciprocal changes in...

    Unsedated Cardioversion

    Would have done the same. Nothing wrong with that. From the picture you painted it sounded like he was decompensating pretty quick

    Unsedated Cardioversion

    Agree completely with different definitions of stable VS unstable. The question about the IO was in regards to "abandoning good care because of the pain" post earlier. Cardiac arrest/unresponsive sure IO with no lidocaine but a pt who is conscious and for whatever reason needed an IO, IMO...
