    the 100% directionless thread

    Well got about 5 semesters to go until I can drop a PA school app. Fortunately the county job is pretty great for doing classwork and the city job, while admittedly paying me much better to play occasionally, still reminds me why I left.

    Eh no job is good enough to me to warrant being more important than my home life. My job is a way to put the roof over my head. Especially not with how EMS is paid.

    One of the first times I've shot the event I used to get ammo given to me by the case load in college for. My score today definitely reflects a 6 year hiatus.

    Anonymous to a degree. I bought shears off you once I believe. I got BBQ with gurby during his med school interview days. Cal has my number from elk hunting. A few of y'all have either seen my name, me, or at least a easy way to reach me. That being said, I still drop in because there are...

    The Gun Thread

    For this year's dove loads, I'm saving about 50% off what one store sells for by reloading. But even components have gun up.

    I've yet to see a local officer complain of this. Not that it hasn't or won't. But at most the occasional person gets worried at the word fentanyl and then chills when I tell them it's a lot less than what will hurt or kill them and they'll absolutely want this little smidge of pain relief.

    Those of you who enjoy being extra nerdy on EKG's, any ways of differentiating TCA OD vs regular ol VTach y'all use?

    Toradol

    It's been hit or miss for me. Some people say it didn't do a damn thing for them, others say it worked great. I've been re-exploring it here the last few months actually. My final verdict is still out, but so far I'm gonna keep pushing it's use more for a bit. That being said, a lot of people...

    EMS system needs vs human biological needs

    As far as I see it, automatically dispatch me before I clear and you can automatically mark me not responding. 10 minutes is nothing. As soon as you arrive like that previous policy you had is an even dumber idea. I'm all for creating opportunity at hospital, especially with packing food (for...

    Yea that was my problem with it. I was consistently right around an hour per call, sometimes less.

    Misses my #1 requirement to work that hard. Feed and water me. That's a fight I've picked many times before and don't back down from. As long as I don't get any push back for taking a few minutes to take care of basic needs when needed, I'll keep moving on along.

    Or just go simple FP-C, RN.

    I can receive all that stuff, I just can't respond to them with the watch. But all my texts, or calls when I'm at work, etc all show up. Doesn't quite sound like what you're wanting though.

    Garmin, Brooks, and Oakley all have me pretty committed.

    935 for me. Basically never comes off. I think I am most surprised by the accuracy of my sleep tracker (except naps). As long as a call didn't break my sleep, it's always spot on even when I get up for water or something. Also cool seeing the change in pace/heart rate/duration over long periods...

    Apparently not. Had been there for some time too.

    Oh I did. Still in the midst of reading up on it. Fortunately the vent settings and meds were all pretty standard. Not in this case, this was one of the most helpful sending staff I've had. NMDA receptor encephalitis caused by a teratoma. Meds adjusted before/as we got there for neurostorms...

    The string of words the PICU nurse threw my way today....That was a whole heap of I don't know the words coming out of your mouth.

    True, but even then that's probably a new record for me. In the loosest sense. It was just an opportunity for parents to see him one more time, no organ donation this go around unfortunately.
