    The longer I'm in EMS the less I feel inclined to tell anyone what I do at all. I just want to smile and nod at the thoughts they have and go "yep, you betcha"

    Do resort rehabs work?

    I guess I'm just trying to figure out if a baby step. That first big step to a resort rehab would be better than nothing and what they need to get a good start. I know it's all on them. It was almost a cops called kinda thing. Out of control. She's going to go to therapy she said, but I...

    Do resort rehabs work?

    Looking on info for alchohol rehab for a family member. Does anyone know if these all inclusive resort rehabs have decent programs or are they just so you can check a box and go back to drinking? Any places in Texas could be recommended for inpatient that would have MAT and counseling all...

    What is the math behind the formula for MAP?

    I get it's the Mean Arterial Pressure, but a mean is an average. What are they averaging if you divide the difference of the systolic and diastolic by 3? I can't find anything more specific than the formula and notes of basic resistance in the vessels

    I missed one of 3 tests for my Ops class. Had to make a 90 on the final to pass. I scrolled through the questions I got wrong. I could get 7 wrong. I didn't count, but the more I saw wrong, the more anxious I was. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket because the school's app updated my...

    I mean, I do find issue with a patient outcome I find unfavorable. Absolutely. Is every call horrible and awful and terrible? Definitely not. I still have fun on shift, love my job, want to be there and learn a lot. I don't know a lot about a lot and those gaps cause a lot of confusion...

    Issues=head case? Ah yes, because I wish to help people with real effect. Horrible. Crazy. Absolutely unbelievable that I wish things could have been different and that I could do better. Insane.

    Well, if it's about bans, I think it would be easier to get rid of one person and not two. Headcase. I disagree. Stressed about a lot most of the time? You bet. I can either give up and accept that or keep trying to be better. If I give up and walk away, I is really that easy, then I...

    It's not every arrest, I am okay with the old dude DOA we worked. Cause I don't think we should have when he was so old, unknown down time, possible head trauma, he was cold, unwitnessed etc etc I was just worried I screwed stuff up, but it looks like that's not really on me about the blood...

    I just got hopeful after he got into a shock able rhythm and things SEEMED to be going okay at first. Witnessed arrest, we're right here, got the LUCAS on pretty quick etc etc and then it's like Oh yeah all that **** totally didn't mattered. It probably would have been easier on the wife if...

    I mean, there was really no difference in him dying at home vs us being there except a big bill and wasted expectations. I was in the back with the medic and a few times I asked if we were going to use bicarb. He never did, I honestly don't know enough to know when it's not indicated. I just...

    I just feel like we should have some something, because when nothing happened despite our best efforts, it's like you really did nothing at all. The outcome wasn't better at all. And we were literally right there.

    I mean, how can you not because while he wasn't in any way fine when you got there and then he went into respiratory distress and then arrest and then cardiac arrest. I did not contribute enough to have a decent outcome and accidentally said something bad to the wife. She was calling the...
